Patrick Ewing: Inducted 2008

The heart and soul of the Knicks for over a decade, Patrick Ewing was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008 and remains the greatest player in franchise history. He anchored the defense, led the offense, and carried New York through some of the most thrilling playoff runs the Garden has ever witnessed. A portrait of Ewing belongs in every Knicks fan cave as a reminder of what pure dedication to a city looks like.
