    So seriously, I love listening to Walt Frazier so much. (no homo)

    Too bad he's a Knicks icon, etc., cause I absolutely love his laid back style and relatively impartial commentary.

    Just makes Drexler and Bull look that much worse.

    That is all.

    Agreed.

    He seems very fair to every team as well.

    Listening to him will also improve your SAT scores.

    Knicks fans are lucky they listen to Clyde Frazier instead of Clyde Drexler. Wish we could switch with them.

    Listening to him do play by play is by far the best I have experienced while watching a game on NBA TV. He is very impartial in a true journalistic sense and uses a wide vocabulary.

    Clyde Frazier is a big reason I watch so much Knicks basketball online.

    For some reason, I always assumed you lived in Houston.

    I like Clyde Frazier, but do you guys really get much info from him? I mean for a color commentator, does he add a ton of knowledge throughout the game?

    Compare his to a Hubie Brown's color commentary.

    It's relative DoD. These guys are uses to hearing Bull and Clyde. Frazier might as well be John Wooden compared to them.

    Frazier just makes you feel like he is impartial. That's rare for a team color commentator.

    Hubie is great with his knowledge but he is mainly impartial because he doesn't work for any team, thus it makes it not special.

    I wish all our Rockets game had the Knicks Clyde commentating instead of the Rockets Clyde.

    If you want to make them seem better, listen to the occasional Spurs broadcast.

    I found him a little dull. Too nonchalant for a commentator.

    He's made of adjectives.

    The thought of Drexler commentating now is exceedingly lugubrious.
