About Patrick Ewing, Hall of Famer

Patrick Ewing was a Jamaican-American center who spent seventeen years in the NBA, primarily with the New York Knicks. After dominating college basketball at Georgetown—where he led the Hoyas to three Final Four appearances and won the 1984 NCAA championship—Ewing became an eleven-time All-Star and seven-time All-NBA selection with New York. He guided the Knicks to the Finals in 1994 and 1999 during the 1990s. Ewing also won Olympic gold medals in 1984 and 1992, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008 for his playing career and in 2010 as a member of the 1992 Olympic team.
