Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe. That was the coolest back court in NBA history. Maybe not the greatest but definitely the coolest.

Before there was "Clyde the Glide" there was (just) Clyde the Cool Frazier, man. One of the coolest human's ever.

The most important thing to me about Frazier was, yes, he was a great all round quick athlete, but he thrived in big games and moments. The Knicks beating Boston at Boston in game 7 of the playoffs was unheard of. Frazier again lead the Knicks . The Celtics had never lost a game 7 on their court before. Clyde!

He is Definitely a New York Sports Icon!!!!!

The epitome of style and grace

Walt Frazier I hope u see this!!! But I'm about to turn 60 in March! YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!! IM HAPPY N BLESSED TO HAVE WATCH U PLAY!! Thank u "Clyde Frazier" You will go to Basketball Heaven!!!

Frazier was traded but that was NOT the will of the Knick fans. Frazier was cheered after he defeated our Knicks because the love the Knick fans had for Clyde was far beyond whatever team he was playing for.

My all time favorite player to this day. Walt "Clyde" Frazier

MY BOY MY ALL TIME FAVORITE AND I MEAN MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BASKETBALL PLAYER ALL HAIL TO WALT CLYDE FRAZIER END OF STORY

Even after retirement he still remained a fashion icon. That's what makes him immortally cool.

Hello "Clyde", my name is Kirk Van Dyke. I'm from Beaumont Tx, 90 miles East of Houston. Just wanted you to know that i am, who i am, because of mainly watching you growing up. You were everything i aspired to be. The way you played, the way you dress, the cars, the women, ALL OF IT. I'll be 67 in November, Lord's Will. Just wanted to say thank you for bn MY IDOL. GOD BLESS YOU, and continue good HEALTH TO YOU. KVD✊🏽💯

Still my favorite Knick. When I go to a game, it's not the current players that I'm trying to find to get an autograph from, it's Clyde, the King of Cool.

AN AMERICAN ICON!

Dame reminds me of Frazier with his demeanor and cool on the court

Puma Clyde's those were the sneakers you had to have when I was a kid.

Clyde the glide

Walt you great

Somebody please get the word out to Clyde that i'm his No.1 fan of all time,i gotta get that handshake before i leave this earth lol!!!!!!!

Clyde is still the coolest player the NBA ever had

I'm proud to know this legend. And to have learned from him and got to enjoy his company. Coolest of the cool. We still love you in Atlanta Clyde.

In the 70's as I was learning and developing my game Clyde was an inspiration.

How could the Knicks ever trade this legend? Unbelievable!

My all-time favorite Knick hands down!!!!!!

Loved Clyde the Glide and the way he played. He was meant to play and show his stuff in the '70's, in New York, and with the Knicks. No other combination would fit.

So excited to have made a cameo here as I was the kid in the orange shirt congratulating Clyde at the 14:25 mark (also briefly shown early at the :30 second point) after his spectacular 1973 performance in Boston to hand the Celtics their first-ever game seven loss in Boston Garden. 😍🏀😃

In the late 1960s and 1970s everyone praised Oscar Robertson.. Jerry west and swingman John havlicek.. and they were awesome of course but Walt Frazier was right up there with them in many facets of the game

My main man Clyde. Style Walt "Clyde" Frazier

When we were kids not only did you want to wear Pumas like he did. When your mother made you get dressed up. I would say well I might as well be stylish like Clyde. He was the essence of cool...

Easily top 10 PG ever, so underrated

one of my idols

I grew up in rural Washington state. When I was a teenager I was obsessed with basketball and Clyde was the coolest. One day close to Christmas in 1974 we went to the mall to tell my family what I wanted for Christmas. I wanted a hat like Clyde's. I pointed out a hat on the front of an album by Major Harris, but my family thought I wanted the album so that's what I got. The other coolest guy in the 70s was Sly Stone (Sylvester Stewart). Another thing that was different in the 70s: every kid everywhere was always told to be a role model for the younger kids. Unfortunately I never got to see Clyde play live as I lived 130 miles from Seattle when I was in high school. When I moved back to Seattle after high school I did go see the Knicks play the Sonics and saw Earl the Pearl play. And the Sonics had Slick Watts, another of the NBAs iconic players of the 70s and 80s. I'm so happy to see this video; it brings back memories.

The epitome of talent and style

I’ve been a HUGE fan since I saw him in 1967. I was 13 years old at the time. I’m 68 years old. I HAVE GOT TO SEE MY HERO BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. I tried to speak to whoever is in charge of renting out one of his vacation properties in St. Croix. If anyone knows any info please hit me back. Thanks in advance 👍🏽

As a laker fan in that era I remember Frazier and I'm sure they remember Jerry West those were great games they had in the early seventies.

He was A CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED a point guard he was the JASON KIDD of the '70s in terms of size 6-4 200-220

my idol

Just learning more about walt Frazier greatness. Had one of the best handles also. Chris Paul of his day.....and his shot was money.

In my Hood they called me "Clyde!" I would mimic him in everything...Dress, how I shot the ball, defense..everything. ( All but the car. I had a 74 Babyblue Thunderbird with white vinyl top, white interior and spinner rims.)

Greatest Knick of all time!

As a Kid that grew up in New York and loved sports Walt Frazier ,just like Tom Seaver was a hero of mine.

Always loved his head fake and used it in my high school years.

love the documentaries from the 70's. Just listen to Broadway Joe, "cool cat" ect are phrases used! Great! When kool was cool!

Blows my mind that I've seen comments on Knicks broadcasts where somebody's like "where'd they get this commentator, get rid of him," I mean, are you kidding? Clyde is New York basketball.

Superfly with a basketball !!!

COOL

Before Earvin "MAGIC" Johnson there was Walt "CLYDE" Frazier.

Tyreses Haliburton reminds me ALOT of Frazier when Frazier was young before he grew out his facial hair... they even play at a similar pace and are the same height with the long arms

Remember, this guy dominated Oscar Robertson. One of the top five players in the league in the early 70s.

That was when Puma sneakers were what you wanted to wear I could not believe it when they traded him. It was like the Lakers trading Magic, inconceivable

Frazier was deceptively strong. In one game Phil Chenier elbowed him in the back in the head out of frustration. He just COOLY looked at Phil and proceeded to wax him for 16 points in one quarter.

Free time??? Become the voice of the Knicks!!! (Tears)

🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀😀

Greatest Atlanta basketball player

Before the Jordans, the Dr J's there was the classic "Clyde" PUMAS. If he was playing in today's game, he gonna take Kyrie, Steph, Harden, & anybody's cookies that tried to break his ankles.

I didn't "love" Clyde initially, as he said all the kids did. Back then, being from the inner city, I was more into the flashy guys like Earl the Pearl, Pistol Pete, and Tiny Archibald than straight-laced Clyde. Because those guys that I mentioned were more of a reflection of us. Or I should say that we were more a reflection of them than what we considered soft ass Clyde was. That opinion of him totally changed for me. When after an altercation with Phil Chenier of the Washington Bullets. Clyde, who I thought was just gonna sit there after being dry gulch and knocked to the floor. By skinny ass Phil Chenier, Clyde to my Brooklyn Street kid amazement got off up off that floor. With none of his usual grandioquence and pomp and Majesty. And tore into Chenier like an angry dad showing his wayward son that he still was the head of the family. And from that moment onwards this wayward sun of the hood, ha hahaha hahaha. Never again doubled, Mr. Clyde Frazier.

10:45 Gee what a concept! Anyone from today's players listening?

As a kid I started to wear “Clyde” Puma sneakers and still do.

That's when they won the game

🙏🏿2020

On the court, perhaps the closest to the style and game of Oscar Robertson.

I know this video was about WCF's basketball career, but it lacks the three crucial dimensions of life! For instance, the video should include: Career, Social activities outside of basketball (work), and family interactions.

Fade away hard to stop best dresser smooth like earl the pearl guards was smaller then but played big mate archibald he's turn

May I throw in another word to describe WCF? .."Mench!"

Walt is the example of my time of playing were all the greatest players and then comes JJ Redditch saying there all plumbers

never forget one friday night knickswere playing cin royals, 16 second left down by eight, player coah bob cousy came in for defensive purposes, clyde stole his first pass, then willis stole ball................knicks scored 9 unanswered......heeheeeeeeeee....see yah couzzz

Pimpin...

Walt Frazier is the greatest Knick ever! Not Reed, not Ewing, not Phil Jackson, not even Red Holzman.

4:23 9:27 16:15

Clyde was my favorite player. As an announcer? Not so much.

That’s the real Atlanta Ism New York is overrated in a lot of things

The therapeutic match unsurprisingly examine because existence natively disarm like a shrill muscle. paltry, joyous gender

The man.
