| Patrick Ewing -vs- Kevin Garnett
50 years from this exact date which guy do you think will be remembered as the better basketball player? |

| Seriously though, good question.
I personally think that Ewing will be. I may be saying this a little biased since I grew up watching the Knicks play the Bulls and got to watch him more. | |

Does Granett stay around too long and drag his career out, or hang it up soon. If he stays around too long and is just mediocre at best, then I think that will hurt is image later on. Now if he walks away soon, it will make his career look better. JMO | |

| I would probably go with Ewing here as well. But like some of you other guys, maybe my perspective is skewed a little bit by my thoughts that players of Ewing's era are a little better than modern players.

| Garnett has had the better career, but Ewing might have been slightly better when you compare them in their primes. | |

| KG. A damn shame he had to be on a mostly sub-par team for so long before he arrived in Boston...

| Another ridiculous comparison. Ewing and Garnett play two totally different positions.
This would be the same as asking who would be remembered as being better between Dwayne Wade and Steve Nash | |
