NY Knicks icon Patrick Ewing to Enter Basketball Hall of Fame

September 5 - The New York Knicks' all-time scoring leader and most recognized player goes into the Basketball Hall of Fame later today.

After a bitter trade to the then-Seattle Sonics eight years ago, Ewing is recognized now more for what he brought to the franchise during 15 sweat-filled seasons than for failing to bring an NBA title.

The former Georgetown center will go into the Hall as a Knick. There, he will join longtime rival Hakeem Olajuwon and former coach Pat Riley in a class that includes Adrian Dantley, Cathy Rush and ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale.

Ewing, now an assistant coach with the Orlando Magic, will be joined by a large Knicks contingent, including one of the newest, his son, Patrick Jr., who came to the team in a trade last week. Several of Ewing's former teammates also will be on hand, including Charles Oakley.

Ewing's presentation will be made by John Thompson, his mentor and former coach at Georgetown. Thompson declined to be interviewed because he said he wanted the focus to be solely on Ewing.
