Walt "Clyde" Frazier Takes A Walk Through His Early New York Memories | Celebrating Black History

[@silkkpilloww]

Cherish this man while he's still here y'all. What an icon and great commentator!

[@Iamkai13]

Who else thinks he deserves a statue

[@lightsoutboxing4827]

I'm honestly surprised that there isn't one yet! Last time they won the chip was with clyde

[@jamesedwards8575]

Willis Reed at least

[@user-ri3tg3is1v]

Me!

[@stupaul3233]

Most definitely and so does the late Willis Reed whom we all miss!

[@user-ri3tg3is1v]

The whole team with coach Red Holzman!

[@johngerbino4188]

Clyde has to be able to call a championship season for the Knicks. He deserves it.

[@TuNnL]

That Rolls-Royce Clyde is driving is at least 40 years old. He's kept it in great shape. 🏆

[@markmartin6365]

He used to have a Brown Corniche in the 70s. When Knicks trained at Monmouth College in Long Branch N.J I would see him driving around town. I was a dopey little kid absolutely awestruck.

[@JamesDoe-ie1sb]

40 year old engine

[@MaxK-]

I could watch him telling stories about the Knicks and NYC for hours

[@FireDude-py6qn]

Mads Knudsen I would kill to spend time to here his stories

[@2kdemiks816]

I don't want anyone else calling their games on MSG once this man retires so a Clyde robot better be in the works

[@javaar123]

Right. I’ll listen to it mute if they try to replace Clyde

[@LeonardWoody]

Clyde one of the few in human history that can wear that coat and still be the coolest guy in the room. What a gem

[@kingcamilo]

What you mean? That coat is fresh😎

[@GoHARD99]

@@kingcamilo it's a complement

[@bartonpercival3216]

Well it also helps that he's got a 6'4" frame to wear those clothes. I always admired his fashion sense in the 70's. He's still rocking crazy suits while broadcasting Knicks games.

[@davidchan9632]

Correct. My all time favorite Knick. I've met & gotten his autograph . A cool guy & very stylish. The 1970 - 1974 had the greatest team. If only W. Reed was healthy they would have won 4 championships. Those early 1970s games were so fun to watch. I wish more DVD box sets were released. The history box set released in 2005 I didn't get. Not all of the games were landmark games.

[@bartonpercival3216]

@@davidchan9632 Yes I 💯% agree. And also one of the smartest basketball teams. They were playing in the New (1968) Madison Square Garden in the 70's. Such an incredibly exciting time in NBA history. Yes, it's also sad about Willis Reed getting injured. I do believe that Willis and the Knicks could have won 3-4 NBA championships. I was a West Coast kid growing up in the Bay Area, and in 1970 with the Knicks having that 18 game winning streak, they always seemed to be on the ABC NBA game of the week. I became a big fan of the Knicks. And in 1973, I had court side seats to see Willis, and Clyde, and Debusschere and Monroe play against the Warriors at the Oakland Alameda county Coliseum. It's a memory I'll never forget

[@kevinhughes2566]

ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS EVER WALT CLYDE FRAZIER.

[@WallTrapMedia]

They give it to Patrick but Clyde is the greatest Knick. He has two rings to prove it!

[@nickzendano1366]

Most underrated guard in NBA history..

[@RJNumber45]

100% FACT

[@anthonytaylor7928]

No he wasn't underrated dumb comment

[@kingcamilo]

This guy is the definition of smooth

[@FireDude-py6qn]

Clyde doesn't even need body guards, the city will protect him

[@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl]

Greatest Knick of all time and one of the greatest games 7 's in the history of the NBA!

Imagine, Clyde and Broadway Joe in NYC at the same time. "Those were the days, my friend..."

Exactly! Those were indeed the days!

Clyde is so New York man

Superfly Clyde.🏆🏆

[@SuperDave30]

Walt “Clyde” Frazier still my favorite NBA OG’s, very sharpe dressing on and off the court, I love his whips the Rolls Royce, still a great legend and hero! I’m huge New York Knicks fan and the famous Madison Square Garden!

[@davidaugenblick3964]

"CLYDE" was my idol in the early to mid 70's. Had to beg my Dad for a pair of puma Clyde's every year for Christmas. He's still my idol 50+ years later!

[@davidaugenblick3964]

"Clyde" is New 😮yorks all time greatest legend!

Funky! Him and the pearl were a great back court in 73 .This just needs Curtis mayfields "superfly" playing in the background. 😊

Still Clyde after all these years

[@Brabldibrablmann]

man i envy the way this guy describes his life. especially the last minute. to live in new york at that golden age as a well respected, wealthy man amongst legends in music, sports and enterntainment. that pretty close to heaven on earth in my book

[@marioman890]

i sense a lot of youthful energy from this man

[@jamesbanks7426]

I think he deserves a status too💜

[@nycsongman9758]

Clyde always has been a genuine Southern gentleman, and is a national treasure. Yes, given his stellar Knick career, and the global attention that his style brought to the Knicks, plus his later being an interesting, long time, and welcoming broadcaster for the Knicks, *he deserves a statue at Madison Square Garden,* more so than even another great NY Knick fave of mine, Willis Reed.

[@bartonpercival3216]

I think Willis deserves a statue too. In fact, maybe statues of all the 1970 starting 5. Debusschere, Bradley, Reed, Frazier and Barnett

[@bartonpercival3216]

What a legend. Even though I grew up on the West Coast, the Knicks of the early 70's always seemed to be on the ABC NBA game of the week, and I became a fan. Willis Reed & Walt Clyde Frazier became my hero's. I remember seeing them play live in 1973 against the Warriors in Oakland at the Oakland Alameda county Coliseum. The very next day I went to a sporting goods store and bought a pair of low top Puma sneakers, just like Clyde use to wear. Great memories

Probably my favorite Knick of all time & perhaps the greatest of all time. Wore his number in high school. One of the most humble legends & superstars that ever was & still is…His humility is breathtaking…Amazing how he gets left out of conversation for greatest point guards??? But one of the greatest to ever do it…on both ends of the floor…

Walt Frazer was the prince of New York City in the 70s. There was no one cooler.

[@graciehill3814]

Walt Clyde Frazier was always known to be the handsome coolest looking NBA Basketball player I remember seeing him walking down the Street in New York but I was to shy to ask him for his autograph that I will never forget. I should have ask to take Picture with him it was in mid 1984 or 1985 I believe that was him he was too handsome for me to speak too. He was wearing some sun glasses I was about 26 years old and shy.

[@AkumaUzamaki]

Would of never known any of this. Great content

[@GoHARD99]

Never forget the first time i met him was at his store opening Clyde liquor on 125 th street

[@bartonpercival3216]

I believe Walt also has a restaurant somewhere in Manhattan

[@ccth22]

This is what cool looks like😎

[@ClintWestwood77]

As a young white guy, I take a lot after Walt. his style has got to be the coolest EVER! Elvis in the late 60’s is close but Clyde takes it.
