Walt “Clyde” Frazier's Legacy
Clyde stopped by Game 5 of the Knicks-Celtics semifinals, and the basketball legend knows a little thing or two about winning. He is two-time NBA champion, has appareared in seven All-Stars, and has a All-Star MVP award under his belt. Clyde was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987. After retiring from the NBA in 1980, he made a remarkable career as a color analyst. He was the first person to first person to be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a broadcaster in 2022 which wasn't received well at first.
In a conversation with TODAY.com last month he said he was “criticized” for his signature rhyming.
“Even my bosses at the Garden told me to stop rhyming, and I go, ‘Man, I don’t know I’m rhyming. It just comes out,” he said.
“I’m not choreographing the game where I have stuff in front of me that I see, so I said, ‘Well, if I’m going to get fired, I’m going to get fired my way.’ And then all of a sudden people started liking the rhymes and the words that I was using. That’s been rewarding.”
Timothée Chalamet's NBA Superfandom
The Oscar-nominated actor is one of the Knicks' biggest supporters which makes sense since “Timmy Tim” is a New York native. He was previously present at during multiple points during the playoffs including Monday's game at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks won 121-113.
Chalamet went viral as he celebrated the Knicks win alongside his girlfriend Kylie Jenner. Jenner also was accompanied by her sister, Kendall Jenner. Kylie and Jordyn Woods — who is currently dating Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns — also made headlines for their cute BFF moment courtside.
