Career Numbers

Ewing- 21pts 10rebs 2.5blks

Bosh- 19pts 9rebs 1.2blks

Bosh isn't quite the defensive presence also both "hang out" on the perimeter a little too much....any other similarities?

this is easily Ewing for me

''isn't quite'' falls so short of illustrating the gap as to make this seem intentionally ironic.

Ewing, easily.

Ewing was an outstanding defender. He wasn't a very good passer but his defense was awesome. His offensive game left much to be desired but he was VASTLY superior to Chris Bosh.

There are only two areas of the game were Bosh has an advantage:

- Hands, Ewing had awful hands for a center
- Passing,

In almost every other area of the game Ewing enjoys a clear advantage, and on defense its massively significant

Ewing's a hall of famer and one of the 50 greatest players ever. Not saying that Bosh will never achieve those feats, but the odds of it happening are pretty slim.

Ewing easily.

Is this even a comparison ? Ewing.

this has to be a joke.

To me these are the hardest comparison because Patrick Ewing has been touted as a Hall of Famer for years while Chris Bosh is just beginning his career. It's probably a pretty good comparison if they played in the same era. It's just like how people want to believe Kobe will never be better than MJ or how LeBron can never be better than Oscar Robertson. To me, it's people just not knowing basketball and it's BS. These modern day guys would most likely school the guys from before because the level of competition is so much higher and they are generally more skilled.

This is one of the more ridiculous posts I've seen.

Patrick Ewing would crush Bosh like a bug.

The worst part of your post is your outrageous claim that the level of competition is higher now.

Ewing played his ENTIRE career against Olajuwon and David Robinson and then also had to deal with Shaq, Mourning, some of Kareem, Moses Malone, I mean...

WTF?

You'd have to be COMPLETELY ignorant to fail to see that.

Chris Bosh is going up against guys like Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, Al Jefferson, Zach Randolph, Rasheed Wallace, Josh Smith, Emeka Okafor, Dirk Nowitzki, Jermaine O'Neal, Elton Brand, Pauo Gasol, David West, Amare Stoudamire, Carlos Boozer and Antawn Jamison every other day. The way you guys are talking, you'd think Patrick Ewing was facing All-Stars daily and Chris Bosh was playing against high-schoolers. If you honestly think Patrick Ewing would crush Chris Bosh like a bug you don't watch basketball.

What kind of comparison is this? You would do better comparing Ewing to Dwight or Yao.

This is true since Ewing was a Center and Bosh is a Power Forward.

Not David West and Emeka Okafur!!! Oh no! Just because you're too young to know the some of the guys that will be mentioned as Ewing's competition doesn't mean it wasn't as good. But don't worry, in 15 years someone is gonna laugh when you list off that group of players as Bosh's competition. Why? Because for sure some of them won't win an MVP or a rin, or lead the league in scoring or rebounding, and a few won't even get deep into the playoffs at all. It's just the law of averages.

There were plenty of guys just as good or better than the guys you just mentioned and I'm sure you'd be quick to dismiss them because they never did any of the things I just ran off for you. That doesn't mean they weren't good.
