Offensively, I go with Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, Mourning.
Defensively, I go with Olajuwon, Mutombo, Robinson, Mourning. Overall, I go with Olajuwon, Robinson, Ewing, Mourning. I agree with Sniper in that the only way Ewing can be underrated is if you place him under #3. While Ewing may not have been overrated, I do think that if Olajuwon or Robinson had done the things they did in NY, they would have received far more accolades than they did. Look at how highly Ewing is regarded and he never won a title, never won a scoring title, never won an MVP. Imagine how Robinson would have been viewed in NY after he scored 71 and won a scoring title. Imagine how Olajuwon would have been viewed after he won a championship and the MVP. Ewing was an all-time great player. He WAS the Knicks every bit as much as Jordan was the Bulls or Iverson was the Sixers. To suggest that they could have gotten anywhere near the levels that they go to without him is silly, IMO.
