Ewing with the Knicks? Yes, not Sr. but Jr.

Patrick Ewing Jr. just got traded to the Knicks, his father’s former team in exchange for the drafting rights to center Frederic Weis.

Ewing Jr. was first acquired by the Kings from Georgetown on this year’s NBA draft, but was immediately traded to the Rockets on a multi-player deal that included Ron Artest.

Patrick Ewing Jr. shares some interesting facts with his father: they both played for Georgetown in college, and now both are tied to the Knicks, also, Ewing Jr. was with the Rockets, a team that destroyed his father’s chances of wearing an NBA championship ring as Houston beat them in the 1994 series for the title.

"Coming to the Knicks, and hopefully being able to contribute, means a lot to me, it has been my dream to play for this team. My goal is to show the coaches I can play and do all that I can to help the team win some games." Ewing Jr. said.

Before playing at the NBA, Patrick Ewing Jr. was chosen as the top reserve of his college football conference.
