If Ewing had not played at Georgetown and done so well as a Collegian, he would not be thought of as highly. It is a given Ewing played hard every night, unlike Robinson. He should be admired for this. But talent wise... no way. No way. So I find it laughable.

This is coming from the same idiot that prounounced that Kevin Durant was not a great athlete. That he is/was a skinny kid who has a great fundamental offensive game.

The thought that Pat Ewing was not as good as these other guys because he played in NY is what is laughable. Ewing was a WAY better pro than he was in college. Kevin Durant is a tremendous athlete, just a bit slight. His fundementals are actually lacking. Do you ever watch the games?
