That's all that really needs to be said. Whether it was Ewing, Graham, Page, Brown, etc., they were all thugs. The problem was, JT didn't do a thing, nor did Gtown U, the NCAA, the refs, nobody. We all remember moments against SU, but there were many others too. How about Ewing grabbing Jon Koncak of SMU around the throat with both hands and choking him? He did the same thing to another player too whose name escapes me. How about the GTown player (Brown or Page?) that used 2 hands to the back of a SHU player to intentionally push him head first into the basketball pole?
I grew up a huge Knicks fan watching real men play basketball. Players like Reed, Debusschere, Frazier, etc. When the Knicks drafted Ewing, it became so hard to root for them. Not because he played for a big rival, but because he was a POS and his actions on the court proved it.
I hope Freddie Brown still has nightmares of pissing away an NCAA championship.
