NBA Brothers (Mike): What's your best NBA memory and why?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: My best NBA memory? Well, you know I have a lot of great memories over my career but I think the best one is when we beat Indiana in game seven to finally get to the Finals.

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: Yes, Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers.

NBA Brothers (Mike): Who was your toughest individual opponent?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: The toughest person I had to play against? When I played, there were so many great centers…hmm…I would say Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaq. Hakeem, because he was very skilled and could shoot it, rebound it…he was extremely strong.  And Shaq because of his size and his dominance. 


NBA Brothers (Mike): Who would be your all-time starting five?

NBA Brothers (Mike): Who was your favorite coach to play for in college and in the NBA?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: Well, definitely John Thompson.  He was the only coach I had in college. He is definitely one of my best coaches. You know, I felt that I was blessed -- I was able to play for some great coaches starting from high school. Mike Jarvis was my high school coach for years and John Thomson was my coach for four years. When I came to the Knicks, I was blessed being able to be coached by Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy.

NBA Brothers (Mike): What do you consider as the biggest challenge you face playing basketball?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: Biggest challenge? To win the ultimate prize…win the NBA title.

NBA Brothers (Chris): Who is your favorite role model?
NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: My favorite role model is my mother and father.
NBA Brothers (Chris): That is a good role model.

NBA Brothers (Chris): What team did you most want to play for in college and why?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: It was Georgetown, the college that I attended. One of the main reasons was Coach Thompson. I thought he was a great role model. You know, the way he carried himself, the way that he spoke, he was very articulate and he was black.

 NBA Brothers (Chris): What game meant the most to you in your career and why?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: Like I said to your brother before, I have a lots of great games. The main one that sticks out right now is the one in which we beat Indiana to get to the finals. This was our first time making it to the finals and my first time having the opportunity to compete for the championship. 

NBA Brothers (Chris): What do you consider is your greatest accomplishment in life?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: My greatest accomplishment in life are my kids. They are my legacy.  I am blessed to have five beautiful children and they are going to carry-on my name and what I believe in.

NBA Brothers (Chris): When did you discover your love of basketball?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: I discovered my love of basketball when I moved to America. I was born in Jamaica and I came to America when I was 12.  I found the game of basketball one day watching these guys playing it on the playground. And, I fell in love with it instantly.

NBA Brothers (Chris): What advice would you give kids that have NBA dreams?

NY Knick Legend Patrick Ewing: Just believe in yourself and work at it. Whatever goals you have in life, don't let anyone discourage you from it, but you also have to have a backup plan if that dream doesn't come true.
