Sport(s): Basketball
Statistics & Accolades: Curt Gowdy Media Award
New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame
A two-time NBA Champion and seven-time All-Star with the New York Knicks, Walt Frazier breezed into broadcasting as easily as he glided on the court.

Frazier first began adding color commentary to games for the Atlanta Hawks on TBS, but it was the return home to NYC, where he has broadcast games for the Knicks on the MSG network, that he found his true second act.

For over 35 years, the fashionable Frazier has thrilled fans with his rhyming style and unique and elevated vocabulary. A Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee as a player, Frazier is in select company as he was also honored by the Hall with the Curt Gowdy Media Award.

We are proud to nominate Walt Frazier for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
