I’ve heard the name but had to look him up to see his face. Never knew he was black. Wouldn’t have known he played basketball if it weren’t stated in the link. Sorry, can’t get all excited over someone who’s biggest accomplishment is dribbling a ball.
Georgetown, North Carolina, Duke...epic battles in hugely entertaining games when Big Man Patrick Ewing was playing for John Thompson during the early ‘80’s at Georgetown. Patrick Ewing’s footprint on east coast basketball is huge. Perhaps the biggest ever. He was a magnificently strong, relentless, imposing, talented, and proud, but totally classy and sportsmanlike player who deserves every recognition he cold ever be given. An American original and a fine citizen of this country. No way anybody should take from this news story that he is anything different than he has always been. Go somewhere else if you’re looking for a scapegoat. No comparison to Spike Jones. Not in the least. Unless all you’re looking at is skin color.
