    The Admiral.

    He was a better scorer, defender, and he has a ring.
    All Pat could do better was shoot, and that was close.

    I'm rolling with the Jamaican on this one. Pat actually led the Knicks to a Finals while Robinson rode the coattails of a young Tim Duncan to get his. Now granted living in NJ I saw a lot of Knick games so I'm sure this helps form my opinion on the subject. David Robinson was a beast, and you truly can't lose with either one... now add Hakeem to the list and we're having a different discussion.

    Dave played down low and on the perimeter whereas Pat did a lot of play outside the perimeter, he shot way to many jump shots. Plus D-Rob was quicker too as a 7 footer, and the dude was strong as a bull

    David Robinson easily. I dont get what people see in Ewing. He had no post moves, terrible in the clutch, had some of the worst hands for a big man. I always felt if he played in a small market he wouldnt get the recognition that he gets

    Maybe because I watched more Knick games in my lifetime I'm going with Ewing I think he was tuff, I remember Dennis Rodman saying he was asked to defend Hakeem ? Robinson was afraid

    It ain't even close.....the admiral

    And look at Robinson's numbers from the first spurs title team.....he didn't get "carried" anywhere

    Ewing got hurt and his team STILL made the finals......exactly.

    Ewing got hurt in Eastern Conference final and made major contributions during that run, Probably would've been a different outcome if he hadn't gotten injured before the finals.

    After the way I seen Shaq disrespect David Robinson on the regular I got to go with Ewing.

    my NY residency will force me to ignore all stats and achievements and vote for my boy PAT.

    As a Knick fan I may be biased but i'm going with Pat. David Robinson had 60 more career blocks than Ewing but Pat has him beat in points and rebounds over his career. Pat has some outstanding accolades to his credit, NCAA Champ, College Player of the Year, 11 time all-star, and he's a gold medalist. Then again David Robinson won an MVP, NBA defensive player of the year and he also has a gold medal so you can't really go wrong with choosing either of these guys.

    Admiral and its not even close.

    Better comparison would be Ewing vs Mourning in their primes.
