Knicks players who were good but are gone now...
Patty Pat Patty... Patrick Ewing Knicks legend was one of the best centers the Knicks ever had. He gave the low standing Knicks one of the top picks in the 1985 draft. Ewing was a beast, in his first year he was announced NBA Rookie of the Year, averaging 20 points per game, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. That does not sound like a lot at this tim
e but back then, way back then it was outstanding. Patrick was an eleven time NBA All-Star, once named to the All-NBA First Team, six times a member of the All-NBA Second Team, and named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team three times. In the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain he was apart of the original "Dream Team". He was announced as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history.

He was announced as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history.He definitely proved himself worthy of that title, in game one of the 1992 Eastern Conference semifinals the Knicks played the defending NBA Champions the Chicago Bulls, and he was unstoppable, finishing with 34 points, 16 rebounds, and six blocks, and the Knicks defeated the Bulls 94-89.
Right now he is old, fat and retired. He made it to the Hall of Fame on September 5, 2008 and he currently is an assistant coach to the Orlando Magic.. which happens to be in the finals. I wonder why he didn't go to the Knicks? Since he was so great and they feel there can never be another Ewing his number 33 was retired in 2003 by the Knicks.
Given name Steve Francis, but he is often called the Franchise. Steve made a name for his self with his crossover, his driving ability and his flashy dunks. He didn't really do much for the Knicks maybe that's why they traded him for Zach Randolph, Dan Dickau and Fred Jones. I don't know what these people did for the knicks but the general manager thought it was a good idea.
On January 27, 2009 the franchise was put to a stop, after being released from Memphis he is a out of work ball player.
Isiah Thomas, well you guys all kinda know the story with him. Him and Steph get into it he brings the knick
s to an incredibly bad season and gets fired. The Knicks hired Thomas on December 22, 2003 as the President of Baskatball Operations, he did failed miserably, when the 2005-06 season came to a close he had the highest playroll in the league and the second worst record with 23 wins and 59 losses. Umm excuse me, Mr. Thomas they are paying you to win games not to stand there argue with the players. He was officaly let free from the Knicks on April 18, 2008. basically he was a waste of money and nothing but dead weight for the Knicks.
