Last week, I published an article chronicling the history of Patrick Ewing’s career. He was sustainably elite, a legendary member of the New York Knicks, and one of the 50 greatest basketball players to ever grace this earth.
During his early years, predominantly in college, however, Ewing faced racial slurs that echoed off the rafters of Big East arenas. To say that it was only this is an insult to his name.

Ewing, originally from Jamaica, he had a darker complexion than most African-Americans. He went to high school in one of the more Caucasian neighborhoods in the country.
