Early 1970s Walt Frazier New York Knicks Game-Used Jersey

Walt Frazier’s Iconic New York Knicks Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

A Legendary Career

Walt Frazier, affectionately known as “Clyde,” is a name that resonates with basketball enthusiasts and historians alike. Drafted in the first round by the NBA’s New York Knicks in 1967, Frazier quickly established himself as a cornerstone of the team. His collaboration with fellow Hall of Famers Willis Reed, Bill Bradley, and Dave DeBusschere led the Knicks to their first NBA Championship in 1970, and he was instrumental in securing their 1973 title as well.

Throughout his illustrious career, Frazier was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team seven times and the All-NBA First Team four times. His prowess on the court earned him seven NBA All-Star selections, with a Game MVP honor in 1975. Over 13 seasons, Frazier amassed an impressive 15,581 points, 5,040 assists, and 4,830 rebounds. In recognition of his contributions, the Knicks retired his No. 10 jersey in 1979, and he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987. Frazier’s legacy was further cemented when he was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996.
