The beauty of this ball player is that he forced his opponents to engage him. He didn't provoke his opponents, but rather had them 'work' to stop him. He was smooth, on and off the court...The "Clyde".

Walt dribbled the perimeter for awhile, then put a jump shot right in your face. The defender had to know it was coming, but Clyde didn't care. He was just too strong.

You can tell that Clyde studied Oscar Robertson. They just back their man down and shoot the jumper in a very deliberate manner. No shake and bake at all. If you actually develop that even playing street ball it is very effective because there is no need for a favored angle, you learn to shoot the defender right up on you.

First time I've seen that much of Frazier. Amazing how much of his game had a quasi-post sort of feel for it. Similar to older Oscar Robertson using his back/butt and turn-around jumpers mostly from that 15-20 foot range. A few times tho, for sure, pulls up from 23 feet when wide open and hits it.

I like how players back in the day. Uses their QUASIPOST style. Of DRIBBLING then using their BACK/BUTT to Get passed opossing defenders.. NO TRICKS. JUST PLAIN SIMPLE💪💯.. That's how INTELIGGENT PLAYERS BACK THEN compare in this GENERATION.. they don't need CROSSIVERS. EXIBITIONS and even CIRCUS DRIBBLES to be GREAT

I think it was '73, the year the Celtics won 68 games with Cowens, Havlicek, et. al. and looked unbeatable. What game was it?? Game 5, I think, but I could be wrong. I was in a small rowboat fishing with a buddy listening on a small portable radio to the game. After three quarters, Frazier was having a terrible game and only had 13 points, and the Knicks were down by about fifteen. When the game ended, after two overtimes, Frazier had 37 points and the Knicks had won. One of my favorite games I've ever listened to or seen. #10 forever!
