This morning I heard SVP say "how do you not recognize a 7', 300lbs man? In Madison Square Garden.?"

Ewing got his feelings hurt because no one is kissing his rear... Get over yourself Ewing....

I agree with you here for sure. Hard to not get an idea of who he may be at that size and then not recognize once up close. That being said, nothing wrong with someone doing their job and checking folks security wise. Ewing gets assaulted by someone else he thinks twice about being questioned. Hard to believe he isn't recognized, but he also needs to quit being a bitch and follow the same rules as everyone else.

Met him back in the early 2000s in Boston, think he was there interviewing for a job.

I watched alot of Knicks basketball in the 90s. He's a big dude, I'm 6'4"

Dare I say that was Jordan's house...

I was never a bulls fan. Knicks and Pistons are my kinda team.

Dating my self but I thought the Garden was the house of Willis, Reed, Dave Debusher, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe and Red Holtzman. Yes, Patrick Ewing played in the Garden but he never brought a championship home while in the NBA. He is no different than anyone else, show your ID/Pass.

People ...doing their job...and some are offended....dont think they have to comply...
Good way to get yourself killed...

There is a way to do your job and a way not to do your job. I expeience it everyday.

Who's to say they didn't give him attitude, who's to say he didn't give them attitude.

You get what you give.

I guess he's a 7' nobody.

I’m agnostic as to who is across the table from me at my job. A grunt or the CEO, I show the same respect, have the same expectations, and give no free passes. Have to have full integrity.

Never had any use for Ewing after BAMA hammered his ass, specifically Bobby Lee Hurt in a game in 1982 that featured Hurt dunking on Ewing twice and BAMA smacking the Hoyas. Ewing was quoted after the game saying, "every dog has his day". Whatever dude. Bobby and the Tide owned your ass that night. Loved that BAMA team, by the way, with Buck Johnson and Ennis Whatley.
