New York Knicks icon Patrick Ewing revealed on Tuesday that his two Olympic gold medals and his NCAA championship ring from his Georgetown days were stolen.

The Hall of Famer discussed the loss of his 1984 and 1992 Olympic medals as a guest on “The Dan Patrick Show.”

“My house got broken into in New York, and at one point they stole my medals,” said Ewing, via ESPN. “So I called [former USA Basketball chairman] Jerry Colangelo, and he was great to be able to get me two replacement medals.

“He took care of me,” Ewing said of Colangelo. “He's a great guy.”

Ewing won the 1984 Olympic gold medal as a collegiate athlete on a team that had a who's who of NBA talent, including Chris Mullin, Sam Perkins, and Michael Jordan. He won his 1992 gold medal as part of The Dream Team, the first time the United States was able to assemble a team comprised of professional players.

The 57-year-old, who now coaches at Georgetown, also had his college championship ring taken but was able to retrieve it upon tracing it.

“They did take my college championship ring, but someone tried to sell it on eBay and I was able to get that back,” said Ewing.

Ewing played 17 seasons in the NBA, 15 of them with the Knicks. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008.

An 11-time All-Star, Ewing admitted Tuesday was the first time he has talked about the theft of his memorabilia.
