I was walking around the Lower East Side in New York City the other day, when I suddenly noticed Patrick Ewing’s knees behind a partially shuttered storefront. It appeared to be a life-sized cutout of the Knicks legend, but all one could see was his numbered shorts, legs, and kneepads. Even though he retired from the NBA back in 2002, I wouldn’t mind having him available to help out the Knicks tonight in Game 5 against the Pacers in the NBA Playoffs!<\/p>\n

On a different note, there have been times where – as a fan of Patrick Ewing and the Knicks – I’ve created A.I. images with his name as a prompt, and come up with some crazy images, most of which look nothing like him.

Makes no sense to me, but I like it as an image!<\/p>\n
