Personally, I think Ewing and Hakeem is a wash. Either guy can make a case for best center of the 90s, and second best center of all time. To say that Ewing isn't at least number 2 of the 90s is a joke.
I guess you were sleeping in the 90's. Besides of the fact I don't like being branded an "idiot" for defending a valid, personal point, there's NO way you can say Ewing=Olajuwon. Get back to those 93/94 Final tapes and watch the games. Then watch the supporting casts. Dream carried those guys alone. Ewing was a choke artist, and was dismantled by Olajuwon - he never "shut him down"- but then again, Dream dismantled all the centers thrown at him during those years...
Ewing, Admiral, Shaq, all were sent to school.
In my opinion, and I can back it up, Ewing was the 4th best Center of the 90's, having Shaq, David Robinson and Hakeem in front of him.
If you're enemy empaty towards the Knicks and Ewing comes from the fact your Pacers were repeatedly put to sleep by those NYK, I can understand. But the fact that Ewing was able to have his way aginst the likes of Smits, LaSalle Thompson, Dale Davis and whoever your pacers threw at him doesn't make him the best of the 90's.

He had nobody on his team over the years
Well, he had Charles Oakley, the Mase, Starks (who was a good player before his game 7 meltdown), Derek Harper, Mark Jackson, Charles Smith, Greg Anthony, Hubert Davis, Larry Johnson, Camby, Latrell Sprewell, X-Man... Nothing stratospheric, but solid nonetheless.
Hakeem had in his first title: Thorpe, Maxwell, Horry, Kenny Smith and a rookie called Sam Cassel to come out the bench. The 7th guy in that rotation was a venezuelan dude called Carl Herrera

But he was the best knick in their history

Boy, Boy... Ewing really is overrated.
