Its a real shame Ewing still isnt a part of the Knicks staff for obvious reasons, but think about his use for recruiting LeBron. Sure LeBron may not come here if theyre not competitive or have a chance to win, but Ewing could only truly tell him how success in NY feels like, and how it can't compare to anywhere else. Sure he never got that ring, but the Knicks were consistently in contention every year in the 90's and the atmosphere was ridiculous. Even if they wont be instant contenders with LeBron, Chandler, Gallinari, and say we get Curry who is a LeBron favorite has to be some good pieces along with players favorite coach in D'antoni. If LeBron comes to NY, i honestly think he'll become bigger than Jordan if/when he wins and it needs to happen. We need him just as much as he needs us.

I don't think lebron needs NY, but NY could certainly use him. To me this is a clasic gas of a big name FA using NY for leverage. H won't come here, he is far too cozy in his Ohio bubble. I would love to be wrong but I just don't think he is coming.

ewing is great but he wants to be a head coach and he will probably take over after svg is fired this year, so he's gonna come into nyk and have the magic try to beat us but we'll win.

Lebron is definitely a student of the game, he's well aware of what it will look like playing in ny. Considering a guy like allan houston who got a personal visit from Ewing, JVG and Cheketts when he was a FA, Dolan would give LB the "coming to amarica" treatment rose pedals and all.

Not sure Ewing is the best person for that role. Especially when you have other championsip Knicks on the payroll. Frazier, Houston, Starks can all make compelling cases, but the fact of the matter is, players know MSG is the greatest stage. The question is whether he wants to play there 2 times a year or 41+ times per year.
