About this Item
Fine condition beige boards with black front cover and spine lettering contained in a very good condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket.

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Clyde. Knick teammates first blessed Walt Frazier with the handle. Like the notorious Clyde of crime, Walt is cool. His off-court dress is one example. His on-court ball hawking and stealing is another. His direction of the Knicks' scoring machine is a third. Now, in this book, Clyde talks about the beginning - his childhood, when he developed his enormous talents; his troubled years at Southern Illinois, when that team won their only National Invitation Tournament Championship the early years with the Knicks. Unlike the other Clyde, Walt talks honestly - about the old Knicks and the new, about McGuire and Holzman, Bradley and DeBusschere, Captain Willis and the louacious Cazzie. And he talks about the various offenses and defenses in the NBA, the great players' weaknesses, the secret to defense and stealing. Finally, Clyde tells about the great Knick drive to the championship, the fabulous Bradley offensive plan and the inspirational comeback of Willis Reed. It was pro basketball's finest moment of the year. It's told by one of pro basketball's finest players - as he saw it." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Seller Inventory # 008298
