Are you serious? LOL. Ewing is definitely a hall of famer. I don't like the Knicks, and even I enjoyed those teams with him on 'em. He's a great, dominant player like Shaq, with a post presence.

Why do you feel he is not a hall of famer Solomon? And don't say because he never won a championship, because there are plenty of player who made the hall and never won a title.

Because he was a one-dimensonal center who relied on that dumb fade away jump shots for years. And I never saw him as a game changer, like HAKEEM

So? He was more then that. Jabbar had the hook shot, along with Magic, I guessed they relied on those shots for years too.

He was a game changer and a team changer. He made the Knicks into perrenial contenders every year.

I remember him being outplayed by

Shaq
Rick Smitts
Bill Cartwright
Brad Daugherty
Olajuwon

So i'm still confused

Wreckless · 09-07-2008, 08:15 AM

I don't even know who Rick Smitts is- so he mustn't of been that good to overpower Ewing.

Adrian Dantley never won a championship, either.

The hall of fame is just not about professional basketball. He was great in college and won 2 gold medals also. He was easily one of the top 50 greatest players ever. Very few players had more combined points and rebounds. His defense was also underrated with all the defensive rebounds and blocks.

Dantley won a championship with Detroit in 88-lol

He was a game changer

TJ · 09-07-2008, 11:04 PM

The Lakers won in 1988 4-3 vs. Detroit in the finals. Check your facts, lol.

And he was traded in 1989 before they won in the rematch vs. the Lakers.

Yeah you are right, he was still a damm good player

Wreckless · 09-07-2008, 11:09 PM

Didn't the Pistons win back to back rings after he left? lol.

BarneyFife · 09-07-2008, 11:33 PM

You have to give credit where credit is due, Ewing deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame, even though he didn't get a ring.

I think they won in 89 and 90, or 90 and 91.
