I remember in 1972 the 1st "jerseys I had my grandma bought from McCrory's in downtown Brooklyn No team names back then just # 12 Joe Willie (green # and name) # 10 Clyde (orange # and name) I'd love to have something with that fabric cotton was so heavy, it was like burlap
If you watched the game you see that Frazier and Robertson are not matched up. Robertson is matched up with Barnett and Riordan. Clyde guards Mcglocklin when he is in the game and the Buck who guards him the most is Greg Smith. Frazier was my favorite player growing up, but he simply gave Mcglocklin too much room to shoot in this game. He was a deadly jump shooter. Not by creating his own shot, but leave him open and watch out. That is not a player you give any room to shoot. I remember watching this game live. It was the day after Thanksgiving and I always remembered that Reed had a great game. Also, that the Knicks broke their winning streak. I think the Knicks beat the Bucks maybe 4 out of 5 meeting that year. The one team that handled them.

Thanks for this match-up video. Clyde was my basketball hero as a kid. He personified COOL on and off the court. Still does! 👍
Real Talk... Thanks to RUclips we are able to see classic games like this one.
Frazier was my idol growing up. I was 10 years old when this game was played. At 6'4", his quickness and reflexes were amazing.

The Knicks were a powerhouse that’s for sure. And McGlocklin definitely could make it rain from outside. He was an excellent championship role player.
Walt "Clyde" Frazier. My favorite player, along with David Thompson.
Two players who inspired many.
@@sportingpage yes indeed.
Nov 16 1973 Knicks down by 24 keep the bucks scoreless for the last 5 minutes. Clyde comes down to court to hit I jumper over the big o. Game over
The most underrated player in history
I like this much better than today's NBA it's crazy for me to think this was dark-age and now is a Rennaisance
When they took a vote of the best backcourt of the 70s,Jerry West and Walt Frazier were chosen. Even though Jerry only plated from 70 to 74.
I'd pick Oscar over Clyde,but this is just one game,and they don't seem to be guarding each other.
Clyde was my favorite but I have to say Willis Reed controlled young Lou Alcinder!
Back when palming the basketball was actually a violation.
I’m glad today’s players don’t have to play under those strict ass rules.
Nov 17 1972. Clyde cooked him to make an absolute comeback 😊
When the NBA was truly special !!!!!
