New York Knicks legend Patrick Ewing told the New York Post he feels “a part” of the franchise’s current postseason run, a welcome change after years of watching the team fall just short during his own playing days.
The Hall of Fame center spoke candidly in an interview published on May 16, 2026, reflecting on the “pain of near misses” that marked his tenure in New York. While Ewing led the Knicks to multiple deep playoff appearances in the 1990s, the club never captured an NBA title during that era.
Asked about the team’s present surge, Ewing said the recent success makes him feel connected to the organization in a way he had long hoped to experience. Specific details of the conversation were not disclosed, but the longtime Knicks cornerstone emphasized his pride in the club’s progress.
