Você Sabia?
Frazier's nickname 'Clyde' was given by a teammate who noticed Walt's stylish wide-brimmed hat resembled the one worn by Clyde Barrow in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde.
In Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, Frazier recorded 36 points and 19 assists against the Lakers — one of the most dominant Finals performances in history.
He became a beloved Knicks TV analyst after retiring, famous for his rhyming, alliterative commentary style: 'dishing and swishing,' 'posting and toasting.'
The NBA All-Defensive Team was first awarded in 1969 — Frazier was named to the First Team in each of the first seven seasons the honor was given.
