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.
Walt “Clyde” Frazier still my favorite NBA OG’s, very sharpe dresser 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!
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.
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.
@@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
"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!
The greatest Knick of all time! No one can even come close to being as great as Clyde! I had the pleasure of seeing many Knick games as a little girl and got to met him several times waiting by the bus after the game. Coolest dude ever!🧡💙🧡
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
Over my fireplace mantle are pictures of my grandparents, brothers, sisters, close relatives, Bible scriptures, and a photo of me and Mr. Frazier at the Garden.
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
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.
My No.1 NBA player of all-time,when i was little growing up a Knick fan in the 70's i took my brand new white t-shirt and wrote Frazier on the back of it and the No.10 on the front and the back and when my mother saw it i got the one and only ass whoopin from my mom god rest her so before i leave this planet to move on i need a handshake and a autograph on whatever i have at that time from the greatest Knick of all-time....Walt Clyde Frazier so please pass this message on for me lol!!!!!!!
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.
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…
My second hero. AND the first one that I actually felt was REAL. My Auntie met him at a house party. And she then had to tell me about it. I though she was LYING.
I love Clyde Frazier, when marvin gaye did that album cut and cooking that pound cake from scratch, peaches and whip cream, im sitting down watching the Champions New York Nicks🎉 a team that Walt Frazier help Build. Form Harlem 🏀🏆🏀🏆🏀🏆🏀🏆🏀🏆
I can always say I know talent. I knew it with both Frazier in 1969, Otis Taylor before the Chiefs won Super Bowl 4 and when I saw Patrick MaHomes in college. When the Chiefs drafted MaHomes I knew it was the best move they ever màde.
He still does to this day. He's got an awful looking lime green suit that I saw him recently wear on a tv Knick broadcast, not to mention the bright orange suit with the black polka dots on it. Clyde's still a fashion trend setter!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@kenneth7826 I am a shirt and tie man myself, Clyde's style is not for me, but it works for him. I read something when I was a teen that stuck with me. It said, "If you think you are well dressed from head to toe, and someone compliments you on an item of your clothing, your tie, your shirt, your jacket, etc. then you are not well dressed because that article is overpowering the rest. Your attire is supposed to be an ensemble, people should say instead 'hey you look great.'"
