Okay, so I was browsing through some old basketball cards the other day, and I stumbled upon my collection of Patrick Ewing Jr. cards. It got me thinking about his career, and I decided to dive a little deeper into his journey.
First, I pulled out all the cards I had of him. Most were from his college days at Georgetown. I remember watching him play there, following in his dad’s footsteps. It was cool to see him wearing that iconic Hoyas jersey.
Next, I started looking up some of his stats online. I mean, the guy was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2008, but then he bounced around the league a bit. He played for the Knicks, like his dad, which was a great story. The search results showed me that he played in several seasons but never full seasons.
I also read some articles about his time in the G League. He spent a good chunk of his career there, playing for teams like the Reno Bighorns and the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He always seemed to be on the verge of breaking into the NBA, but it just never fully happened for him. He was like a practice player for other teams.
- Started with the basketball cards.
- Checked out his college career at Georgetown.
- Looked up his NBA draft and short time with teams like the Kings and Knicks.
- Read about his G League career.
After gathering all this info, I decided to watch some old game footage. I found some highlights from his college days and a few clips from his time in the G League. It was clear he had talent. He could shoot, rebound, and play defense. I watched him make some pretty impressive plays on the court.
In the end, I think Patrick Ewing Jr. had a respectable career, even if he didn’t reach the same heights as his father. He carved out his own path and played the game he loved. It was fun to revisit his career and appreciate his journey.
After I finished up my little research project, I put all his cards back into their protective sleeves. It was a nice trip down memory lane, and it reminded me why I enjoy collecting these cards in the first place. They tell stories, and Patrick Ewing Jr.’s story is definitely one worth remembering, at least for me. I shared this thought with some friends later.
My takeaway?
Even though he didn’t become a superstar, he still made it to the pros and had a decent run. That’s something to be proud of. This whole experience made me appreciate the journeys of all athletes, not just the big names.
