Walter "Clyde" Frazier Jr. is an American former professional basketball player of the National Basketball Association (NBA). As their floor general and top perimeter defender, he led the New York Knicks to the franchise's only two championships, and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987. Upon his retirement from basketball, Frazier went into broadcasting; he is currently a color commentator for telecasts of Knicks games on the MSG Network alongside Mike Breen. In 1996, Frazier was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all time by being named to the NBA 50th Anniversary Team. In October 2021, Frazier was again honored as one of the league's greatest players of all time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Walt Frazier was also named the MVP of the first of two All-Star games played between ABA and NBA players in May 1971. These ABA vs NBA games, played in 1971 and 1972, were called NBA-ABA Supergames.

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.
