Patrick Ewing, who was interviewed for about an hour for “The Last Dance”, said he hadn’t seen many of the first six episodes of the documentary. The Georgetown manager, whose Knicks have been close to the Bulls in many playoff battles, also said that he respects the greatness of his friend Jordan, but doesn’t need to relive him so completely at this stage in his life.
Former teammate Charles Oakley blamed Ewing on Sunday for the fact that the Knicks lost the epic 1993 Eastern Conference final battle against Jordan’s Bulls, not Charles Smith who lost several rebound attempts in the closing seconds of the game 5 of Knicks’ 97-94, which gave Chicago an advantage for the 3-2 series.
