ClutchPoints’ Tim Crean on Frazier:
“Frazier was the quintessential point guard in a city known for producing point guards.”
“He may have grown up in Atlanta, but no one played NYC PG like “Clyde.” The numbers on his decade in New York speak for themselves. Frazier averaged 19.3 points, 6.3 assists, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.0 steals. Those numbers got him on seven All-Star squads and six All-NBA teams, but it was his defense that made him a Knicks legend.”
“Frazier made seven All-Defensive teams and hounded opposing guards in a way that made Knicks fans proud. And as intense as he was on the court, he was even cooler off it. His flamboyant style made him a fashion icon in the Swinging 70s in Manhattan, and that might be the coolest thing of all.”
Bleacher Report’s Adam Friedgood on Frazier:
“Frazier has to be the best guard in Knicks history and leads the Knicks all-time in assists. He was best known for his cool demeanor on and off the court.”
“Frazier epitomized the New York style in his off court clothing and personality, as well as on the court, with the flashiness he always played with.”
“Frazier ran the point guard position for the Knicks during both of their Finals wins. He excelled on both ends of the floor and was named to the All-NBA team six times and the All-Defensive team seven times.”
