Years later when Patrick Ewing came on the scene playing for Georgetown I

Think he triggered some sort of PTSD symptom. It wasn’t because we got beaten so badly it was because the gym was so cold I used to hate to have to take my coat off to go in the game. I was envious of Patrick Ewing not because of his ability but because he was the first player I ever saw who wore a T-Shirt under his jersey.
