In the formative years of my basketball fandom, Patrick Ewing reigned supreme. I was too late for Bernard King but arrived just in time to catch Patrick’s 1989-90 season, in which he averaged 28.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, four blocks, and a steal in 38.6 minutes per night. Oh, and he played in all 82 games. With Stu Jackson as his coach! That year, the New York Knicks captured my heart, and Patrick set the bar impossibly high for all future Knickerbockers.
