Q&A with Alonzo Mourning: Patrick Ewing, New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat

Every true blue New York Knicks fan knows former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning. He’s a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and seven-time NBA All-Star. Much like his good friend Patrick Ewing, he starred at Georgetown University en route to his No. 2 overall status behind Shaquille O’Neal in the 1992 NBA Draft.

Fifteen NBA seasons and a championship ring later …

Mourning is, of course, no stranger to Madison Square Garden and returned there this week for the 2K Classic. His Hoyas, now coached by Ewing, took on the Texas Longhorns in a short tournament to benefit the Wounded Warriors Project.
