About the Author:
Walt Clyde Frazier is the New York Knicks color analyst on the MSG Network. Honored as one of the NBA s 50 greatest players, he led the Knicks to two world championships in 1970 and 1973 and saw his jersey retired by the franchise in 1979. Mr. Frazier lives in New York City.

Ira Berkow, a sports columnist and feature writer for the New York Times for more than 25 years, won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2001 and was a finalist for the Pulitzer for commentary in 1988. He is the author of 19 books, including the best sellers Red: A Biography of Red Smith and Maxwell Street: Survival in a Bazaar, as well as two memoirs, Full Swing and To the Hoop. Hank Greenberg: The Story of My Life, co-written and edited by Mr. Berkow and published by Triumph Books, was a primary source for the award-winning documentary The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg. Mr. Berkow lives in New York City.
From Booklist:
The New York Knicks won NBA titles in 1970 and 1973. Walt “Clyde” Frazier, a silky smooth playmaker, was the team’s best player. He was universally admired for his on-court skills and off-court cool. This is a reprint a 1974 release cowritten with Pulitzer winner (in 2001 for national reporting) Berkow. In 1975, Booklist selected it as one of the 72 best books for young adults during the previous 15 years. There are basketball chapters filled with sound advice on offense, defense, reading stats, and game-day preparation. The chapter, “A General Guide to Looking Good, and Other Matters,” has tips on romancing, fashion, relating to coaches, and yes, even catching flies in midair. The stunning photography is supplied by Sports Illustrated’s Walter Iooss Jr., and the volume includes new introductions by Berkow and Hall of Famer Bill Russell. Readers may be surprised by how contemporary the book seems. Well, man, cool is cool, then and now. --Wes Lukowsky
