Patrick Ewing is American

He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and lived there until he was 11 or something, but then he moved the U.S. and after living there for so long he is now an American citizen (I don't know the specific chain of events). He played for the U.S. basketball team in both 1984 and 1992. 203.214.43.194 12:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Knicks Won't Win with Ewing

Though I don't have the news reports to back it up, during the Jordan eras the only thing I heard fron NY sports radio, and newspapers, was how the Knicks would never win a Championship while they had Ewing. He just wasn't good enough. Funny thing, as soon as he retires the Knicks stop making the playoffs. When he was there the Knicks were a perennial contender, as soon as he leaves they're a joke. Looks like those sports experts were a little mistaken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.49.65 (talk) 20:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Height

Here Patrick admits he is 6'9. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/players/03/07/first_person0314/

MUTOMBO: [Sipping a virgin strawberry daiquiri] I like your restaurant, Yao. It's made for 7-footers and guys like Patrick Ewing, who is really 6'9". [Ewing has always been listed as 7 feet.]

EWING: Hey, I may be 6'9", but I'm a bad 6'9". And what about you? When I first met you, you told me you were from Zaire.
