[the gr8]

New York Knicks-Patrick Ewing/???

I ont get how that is funny. The Knicks have had some all time greats. The obvious choice is Ewing/Clyde Frazier

But some other greats would be Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Bill Bradley, Dave DeBusshere, Bernard King, Charles Oakley, Johns Starks.

Really nothing to laugh about, and for the guy above me who said Bernard King, his jersey is not even hung up (although it should be) and he is not one of the50 greatest all time players (althoough he should be as well) But Clyde is one of the 50 greats and maybe the best defensive pg ever and his jersey is hung upand he is the #2 all time scorer behind Ewing, him and Ewing are the obvious choices for best ever, he can even be made an argument for #1 cause of the 2rings.

And for saying Igoudala over Iverson

"you stupid or something" AI is the best ever 76er no comparison, especially not by Igoudala

EDIT: my bad i didnt see past/present my bad

But for Knicks it is easily Ewing/Crawford. Unless you can also bring up the argument that Clyde is the best

but i only wanted one all-time great(the greatest player in franchise history) and the best/greatest player currently! i wouldnt laugh about the knicksfranchise. i know ya'll had your fair share of great players. i mean starks was one of my favorite players to watch. but when it came to choosing a greatplayer or a up and coming great player on there team now...well..i was having trouble doing that...i started to put stephon marbury but i could only imaginethe

i would have recieved.

 

[elhombreair]

nvrmnd, minute late. I'm thinking Bill Russell would be better than Larry Bird but thats just me.

 

[doublejs07]

Memphis Grizzlies-Pau Gasol/Rudy Gay


I would say (counting Vancouver)

Sharif Abdur Rahim/Pau Gasol

Rudy has the POTENTIAL to be the best in the history of Vancouver/Memphis, but to me that distinction clearly belongs to SAR....
