Being a die hard Pacers fan, Patrick was one of my least favorite people during the early to mid 90's. But looking back, and watching him over the last couple years, I started to like the guy. He was a damn good center, and a hell of a competitor. He deserved a championship.

He had a great career. It's good to see he's steppin' down and letting the younger peeps get the spotlight.

Probably cause he never won them a ring, and missed alot of big shots. Still a hell of a baller though.

I thought he never got enough credit... everyone was on Shaq's nuts when he was balling with the Magic... but Patrick was doing awesome back then... getting 40+ in games... he averaged just above 20... he was an awesome baller

Its sad that he didn't played his whole career as a Knick, i still don't know why the knicks traded him, its fucked up.

60 % that he will play 4 the wiz next season  8)
