Item Description

The Walt Frazier Experience is a priceless package that includes four (4) tickets to a 2015-2016 NY Knicks game, a Meet & Greet with legendary Walt Frazier and a basketball hand-signed by Walt. An incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Walter "Clyde" Frazier presided over the Knicks for 10 years from 1967 to 1977. He left holding team records for points scored, games played and assists.

Frazier ended his career in 1979 with a lifetime average of 18.9 points per game in 825 regular-season games and 20.7 points per game in 93 playoff contests. It was with the Knicks that Frazier helped redefine the character of professional basketball, significantly boosting its popularity in New York and beyond.

"It's Clyde's ball," teammate and Knicks captain Willis Reed told Sport magazine at the height of the Frazier era in New York. "He just lets us play with it once in a while."

As a Knicks player, Frazier scored 19.3 points per game, played in seven NBA All-Star Games, and was named to four All-NBA First Teams and seven NBA All-Defensive First Teams. He is especially remembered for his inspirational performance in the seventh and deciding game of a thrilling 1970 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Knicks made him their first-round pick (fifth overall) in the 1967 NBA Draft.

He started slowly, averaging only 9.0 points in 1967-68. "My rookie year, I really played lousy at first," he recalled in Sport. But midway through that season a new coach, William "Red" Holzman, took charge of the Knicks and emphasized the aggressive defense that was Frazier's strongest suit. The rookie's playing time soared, as did his confidence. Frazier was named to the NBA All-Rookie Team at season's end.

Possessing exceptional peripheral vision and quick hands-"faster than a lizard's tongue," commented one opponent-Frazier began delighting New York fans with sudden steals and lightning passes. "The great thing about Clyde is his hands, his anticipation," Holzman told Sport. Added teammate Bill Bradley, "[Frazier] is the only player I've ever seen [whom] I would describe as an artist, who takes an artistic approach to the game."

By adding Frazier, Bradley, and Dave DeBusschere to a starting lineup that already featured center Willis Reed and guard Dick Barnett, the Knicks quickly built an unusually well-balanced club, a championship contender that reached the Eastern Division Finals in 1968-69. Frazier averaged 17.5 points that season and earned the first of seven consecutive selections to the NBA All-Defensive First Team

When his playing days had concluded, Frazier's accomplishments on the court were still being acknowledged. In 1979, the Knicks retired Frazier's No. 10 jersey. In 1987, he was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. And in 1996, he was elected to the NBA 50th Anniversary All-Time Team.
