A back to the basket, ball dominating offensive game. Mid range beast and the focal of his team's offence. Not in approach or method, but in dominating the rock, Ewing and Melo share similarities. Out of the 2, one was far more successful than the other in terms of achievement.
In the 89-90 season - when you were presumably 2-5 years old - Ewing had a season that eclipses what you see in the modern game, whilst playing in a far more physically demanding and less officiated game against the league in its prime.
28.6PPG - 4BPG - 2.2APG - 10.9RPG - .55FG% and didn't miss a game all season. Was named All NBA 1st Centre alongside Malone, Barkley, Jordan and Magic.
Not to even mention his 5 All NBA second team selections.
One thing you could always rely on with Ewing, as has never been the case with Melo, was a commitment to defence. 3 All Defensive 2nd Team Awards

How can you so avidly defend Melo and not show the required appreciation for the greatest Knick in history.
Ridiculous.
