I wish I had stayed and finished my career here in New York.
Patrick Ewing

Patrick Ewing
People think that just because you're a center, you're not as smart as the guards or the smaller guys.
Patrick Ewing
I've been to the Hall of Fame many times, in grade school and high school. I had field trips to the Hall of Fame and taking tours of it. I just never thought about that one day I possibly might be in it. I think it'd be great.
Patrick Ewing
The greatest players fit with the team. They play within the team's style, rather than asking the team to change its style.
Patrick Ewing
Every parent wants to see their kids excel.
Patrick Ewing
This means a lot. I'm being recognized for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into a 17-year career.
