Great job researching this! He was my favorite player as a kid. I will always recall 36 points, 19 assists and seven rebounds on May 8, 1970. He also added four steals.

I was born in 2001 wayyyy after these legends had their battles, but Walt was and still is the upper echelon of a backcourt master that controls the flow of the game with his precision and wits. Still ridiculous to think nobody brings this game up anywhere near as much considering he went toe to toe and quite frankly humiliated Wilt, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor whilst the MVP Reed was dragging his leg up the court. Clyde needs more respect for this sensational close out game performance

[@tomsauer3830]

He was a clutch, team winner. Imagine him with jumping ability. He wanted to be a college QB but it wasn't happening back then.

[@Mrjohnboyd1959]

He is easily the most fluid, beautiful ball player He was always in control of his emotions...always thinking. Clyde was just a joy to watch play basketball. He played effortlessly. He was and still is my idol. I'm 59 years old...I think I would die if I met him. I even still have Puma "Clyde" sneakers...just like in 1976 when I played high school ball.

Walt frazier & earl monroe vs gail goodrich & jerry west ; greatest back court ever nba

[@jameslewis5411]

During the period of 1970-1974, there were only four standout teams...Knickerbockers, Bucks, Lakers and Celtics. But with the Knicks and Celtics, you saw superior ball movement up and down the court and around the key to break a man open for the shot. The 1972 and 1973 Eastern Conference finals series was basketball at its best with Hall of Famers from both teams. And the same for the Lakers when they played the Knicks for the title in 1970, 1972 and 1973. As a Knicks fan (and a Walt Frazier fan) for 47 years, I enjoy looking at these old videos of our only two titles.

[@davidr5961]

During that era, they had a very good GM, in Eddie Donovan, who made great moves, in acquiring Dave D. in '68, and subsequently Lucas, and Earl M, along with a brilliant coach in Red H. Its hard to believe its now been fifty years, since that '70 title.

[@jamessollazzo2966]

[@murphyotoole9014]

Such a fundamentally sound guard in all aspects of the game. In addition, his shutdown of Jerry West on top of his offensive production just makes one really admire this guy as an all-around player for any era.

[@chebbou69]

The early 1970s saw the Knicks and Lakers facing each other in the Finals 3 times in 1970,1972, and 1973. Adam Silver would sell his wife and daughter to make it happen again.

As a 13 yr old growing up in NYC I watched this as I did ALL Knicks games. It was a thrilling time to be in New York while The Championships started to accumulate in Basketball Football, Baseball and Hockey. Mr. Frazier was Elite Backcourt Professional who was flawless in his Skillset and also Leadership as an ultimate Team Player. He just made everybody better. His "Clyde" Personna off The Court was "Smooth" and Reserved without any Scandal just Cool Dignity. He was a Role Model. In fact, you could say that about the whole Knicks Team. To a Man they were just "Standup Guys." Coach Red Holtzman was the epitome of Coaching. As kids while playing Street Ball, we All quoted the Title of his book: "Find The Open Man"

What was so good about this knicks team, was that they most always had at least 5 or 6 players in double figures, my guess, is more than any other team, ever. If they had the 3 point play back then, they would have been even better. To me, this was the best all time NBA team, and no, I'm not even from New York.

[@nicholasmanoukian]

I agree with you but I'm going to have to say the Bulls with mj were the best. They went on a three peat beating Barkley, drexler, and magic in only six games. Then when mj left, the Bulls didn't win. But when he came back with rodman, they went on another three peat!

I remember a game between the Knicks and the Bullets when Earl The Pearl Monroe was still with the Baltimore. Somewhere in the game Clyde fouled The Pearl. Frazier was so disgusted that he just sat down in the lane as the Pearl shot his first free throw. You could see from the camera under the basket Monroe just looking at Frazier still sitting in the lane. I think he got up for the second one. To this day I haven't been able to find that film anywhere. Hope it wasn't just my imagination but seems I remember that game actually happening.

[@ShakesTheClown46]

Dkouts57 calls Frazier’s performance in this game a “myth.” That’s a bit harsh; not all of his stats were inflated. But one thing is true - Clyde didn’t have anything near 19 assists, unless maybe if you go by FIBA rules, where you get an assist if you pass to a teammate who gets fouled and makes at least one free throw. I counted 7 assists for Clyde, others say 9. Still, that’s 36 points, 7 to 9 dimes, a handful of boards, a handful of steals. That’s more messianic than a myth.

They aren't even guarding Frazier. No hand-checking. Ugly flat shot. Playing against a bunch of slow white guys. (I'm know, I'm white) Seriously, Walt needs to shut up. Curry is faster, better dribbler, better shooter, and might even like hand-checking. That generation acts like the game was tougher. I did not see one hard foul in that video. Much tougher now. Today's players are stronger, taller, faster, and in better over-all shape than in the past...and there is more of them. 1970 East Allstar team. Reed, Frazier, Cunningham, Alcindor, Robertson. Pretty darn good team. No disrespect...Enjoy your memories, whatever memories you have left.

[@sheastadium2008]

+Sheastadium 1199 Bro as much as I like Curry what in the hell are you talking about. I Don't know how often you watch Warriors games but Curry gets no good Defense. Honestly he always wide open( like clay) and with todays rule you can't really touch anybody. The 70s were pretty violent back then, which was part of the reasons the Nba was dying and was revived by Magic and bird in the 80s. This was just one game.

[@jimjulian11]

"Just one game" huh? this was an NBA finals. So hard hand-checking, fighting, clothes-lining, scratching, clawing were only done in the regular season? I watch all the Warrior games. Amazing dribbler, quick release, and ability to create his own shots outside and at the rim make Curry a once in a lifetime player. Defenses can't guard him cause defenses can't keep up with him. He'll either beat you one on one or run you into a Bogut screen. Good luck with that Frazier. Also, these "legends" assume that if you get physical with Curry he will just roll up in a ball and go home. Really? This kid is tougher than you think.
