Can A Sitcom Be Written About Patrick Ewing?
Posted by Tyler Mills in TelevisionPatrick Ewing is someone who should star in a sitcom. Patrick could star as a disgruntled, former superstar basketball player who could not win a championship. He could play the role of a disgruntled assistant coach who can’t seem to land the head coaching position that he wants.
John Starks is someone who could be played by Donald Faison for example. Faison spent many years on Scrubs and he has played with credibility during the time that he has appeared in different celebrity basketball games. Jeff Van Gundy could play himself in a sitcom about Patrick Ewing since Van Gundy has been able to find a coaching job that suits his fancy in the National Basketball Association.
Chris Dudley could help finance any production costs that it would take to make sure the sitcom worked well. Dudley has a background in finance and he could create a fair amount of income for different people who would be involved in a Patrick Ewing related sitcom. Ewing is a great guy who would potentially have an interesting story to tell through a sitcom. Ewing and the New York Knicks of the 1990s would be a great story to tell. Who would play Charles Oakley in the sitcom for example?
A shorter person may not be inspired by the fact that Patrick Ewing made it to the NBA, but they could inspiration in the fact that Chris Childs was able to make it to the NBA for example. Childs was another interesting guy who ended up on some of these Knicks teams in the late 1990’s. I would be very interested to see who would be hired to play a guy like Chris Dudley and whether there would be any scene on the show like the time Dudley got into a fight with Shaq when Shaq was playing for the Lakers and Dudley was playing for the Knicks.
