Walt “Clyde” Frazier

Walt “Clyde” Frazier was a steady and sometimes phenomenal offensive force for the Knicks, but his true hallmarks were running New York’s offense (he led the team in assists in each of his seasons as a Knick) while shutting down the opponent’s offense (Frazier was selected to the NBA’s All-Defensive First Team seven straight years). He wrapped up his career with three seasons in Cleveland, and was named to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987.
