[edit] Patrick Ewing is American

He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and lived there until he was 11 or something, but then he moved the U.S. and after living there for so long he is now an American citizen (I don't know the specific chain of events). He played for the U.S. basketball team in both 1984 and 1992. 203.214.43.194 12:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

MUTOMBO: [Sipping a virgin strawberry daiquiri] I like your restaurant, Yao. It's made for 7-footers and guys like Patrick Ewing, who is really 6'9". [Ewing has always been listed as 7 feet.]

EWING: Hey, I may be 6'9", but I'm a bad 6'9". And what about you? When I first met you, you told me you were from Zaire.
