Patrick Ewing says some scumbag actually broke into his home and STOLE his 1992 Olympic gold medal -- the one from the Dream Team -- but he never talked the burglary ... until now!!
“My house got broken into in New York at one point and they stole my medals," Ewing said Tuesday on "The Dan Patrick Show."
FYI, Ewing won TWO gold medals in his career -- representing Team USA in 1984 and 1992.
Patrick didn't reveal the date of the burglary -- but says the crooks made out with both gold medals AND the 1984 NCAA Championship ring he won during his run at Georgetown.
