Do you agree that Barkley's decline came 5 whole seasons before Ewing's? Ewing was still putting up 20 & I p in 98 until Andrew Lang ended his career

Bird had a sharp decline also in the later stages of his career mostly due to back injuries. Nash also.

Barkley, Bird, and Nash's primes were better than Ewing's prime and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's also OK to just say that by 2000 many of us were bored or disappointed by Ewing and more excited about the shiny new toys in Spree and Camby. But carry on trying to find stats-based rationale to retrospectively validate your emotions.

Eli and Houston as examples of true New York sports heroes... this is pretty funny. They heroically took tons of backpage ****, no doubt.

Great thing about New York is since it's so dense, everywhere you want to do a happy dance you are dancing on someone's grave.

Derrick Rose never made it to the NBA Finals. Barkley came close but ultimately fell short to Jordan in 1993.

And what happened from 93-98 in terms of comparing Barkley to Ewing?

Barkley went ring chasing and went to Houston where Olajuwon and Drexler were.

Ewing slowly declined each season, then got a team boost when LJ, Houston, and Childs signed in 97.

I haven't even brought up Barkley's lack of defense but let's hold everything against Ewing for putting up 20/10/2+ blocks 50% FG on ****ty teams that had no business not only making the playoffs every year but go deep in the playoffs as well.

Again tell me why I'm drafting Barkley over Ewing?

WTF!?

decline? Barkley played better in the 3 seasons after the finals (93) than ewing did in his whole career.

Ewing was better after 93-99 than barkley? You can't be serious. PPG is not everything ... please visit the rest of the stats.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

And with all the worship of Donnie Baseball and the Boss's uncontroversial band of beardless company men, on this most auspicious day in Mets history, let's not forget about those knuckleheads over in Queens that were doing coke & groupies, trashing planes and winning pennants. I think the city Hall of Heroes has room enough for all types and stripes.

LET'S GO METS!

Ewing was a better defender than Barkley, no question about that.

Barkley was the better all around and overall player than Ewing and it's not even close.

for those of you who are too lazy to check

Barkley 96-97:

19.2 points a game (damn! not 20 ppg?)
13.5 fuk NY rebounds per game
4.7 yes 4.7 assists per game

Ewing:

22.4
10.7
2.0

yes ... ewing was much better than him that year! Really?

so here is what phil is thinking ....

you love ewing but you need to step back and take a unbiased look.

Ewing >> barkley defensively

barkley >>>>>>>>> Ewing offensively

Ewing was a better team guy so I can see why one would want to start a franchise with him over barkley. Barkley was the type to say fuk philly!

I have a couple of buddies that are huge sixers fans. My guess is if they could go back in time have Ewing over Chuck they would take Ewing.

The gall of a Knicks fan to love one of the greatest Knicks ever. How dare a fan(atic) be biased?

The way this thread has devolved off-topic is exactly what Melo was talking about... and yet it continues with no recognition of the irony. Yea what a dumb ballplayer. Who's so smart now?

I put Olajuwon & Shaq ahead of Ewingas far as all time Centers but there's no way I'd draft Barkley, Malone who had Stockton and Reggie Miller over Ewing

http://www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/b/charles_barkley_vs_patrick_ewing.htm

this is a good comparison. Basically, the only stat for both regular season and playoffs that Ewing beats barkley is of course blocks. Shocker being that barkley was 6' 4.

This does not even show advanced stats in which barkley absolutely destroys ewing.

In my opinion, Barkley may be the most underrated player of all time.
