Olajuwon was won the MVP, the best Ewing did is 4th
Olajuwon has twice been defensive player of the year, Ewing never was
Olajuwon won rings, Ewing didn't

In no way, shape, or form was Ewing better than or even as good as Olajuwon.

No one is saying that Hakeem wasnt great. But over his whole career he was not as good as Ewing was at the defensive end of the floor. If I had to choose which one was the better overall player I would probably say Hakeem. But the original statement was that Ewing wasnt in the same class as those other guys which is still laughable.
