Patrick Ewing Picked Georgetown Because There Was a KKK Rally in N.C. During His Visit

Posted Jun 13, 2013
Patrick Ewing was on the Dan Patrick Show this morning. Ewing talked about all the trash talk Michael Jordan used to direct at him, and then mentioned before attending Georgetown, Ewing considered attending the University of North Carolina. How close was Ewing to being a Tar Heel and playing with Jordan? Pretty close, but he wasn’t a big fan of the locals. (The Big Lead)
