Bernard King: Kevin Durant can’t let himself become next Patrick Ewing

If Kevin Durant wants to come to the Knicks, he had better bring along another star or he’ll wind up like Patrick Ewing — ringless.

So says Brooklyn-born Bernard King, the former Knicks legend who played a role this past season as rookie Kevin Knox’s unofficial mentor.

King, who signed as a Knicks free agent after starting his Hall of Fame career with the Nets, said he still believes New York is a hot spot for NBA players, and the trio of president Steve Mills, general manager Scott Perry and coach David Fizdale will prove inviting to free agents.
