Ewing, a New York Knicks legend, made an appearance on a radio show in Toronto and admitted that it if were up to him, he would get rid of the handshake line because of the emotions following a competitive game.

"I don't like the handshake line," Ewing explained, via Audacy.com. "I don't like it because anything is possible. You're just getting through a heated battle, a heated game and anything can happen to make things worse, which is what happened in that situation. If it's my call, I think we should just take away the handshake line. Just do like we did last year in COVID. You wave bye and you move on."

Ewing, who also starred at Georgetown during his college days, said he doesn’t remember shaking hands with the opposition after games.

"When I played back then, I don't even think they had handshake lines," Ewing said earlier in the interview.
