Knicks release an emotional Finals promo video narrated by Clyde Frazier: “This team. This city. It’s got the look.”
I just want one for Clyde man.
It’s not enough he’s given us the titles while playing. He’s given his entire life to us.
By far the best reason to root for the Knicks
I want to see Penn station and 34th Street look like the Rodney King riots
Him and Breen, obviously my flair makes it obvious I want the Spurs to win but I wouldn’t be upset to see the Knicks win and get to see Clyde and Breen celebrate the Knicks W, they’ve had to watch so much bad rosters and heartbreaks to get back to this point
I cannot describe how bad i felt for them watching and listening they gave more effort than at least 50% of the players on the court from 04-20
I think those players were actually trying their best, sadly
I lie to myself… a lot…
FOR CLYDE AND MIKE!
I started seriously watching ball because of Linsanity, and Clyde will always be a key part of that memory.
They say if you smile, people can hear it through your voice, and that’s Clyde every time i hear him.
For real. The man is 79 years old and still bleeding orange and blue every night on the broadcast. He deserves to see them get back there one more time.
Clyde is so cool. He’s such a great personality. One of the greatest contributors to NBA culture.
pure finesse and zest with a percolating fashion sense.
The way he says “rhythm” and “razzle dazzle” will never not be iconic. Dude’s been repping New York fashion and vibes for decades, it’s awesome to see him still getting these moments.
It’s gonna be hard to root against this. But I’ll find a way
Neutrals are in for the best finals (in my opinion) since 2016
Technically I’m a neutral but definitely rooting for the Knicks. Spurs win would be boring, Knicks are much more interesting team and story
I’m almost of the same mind, but then there’s Wemby
How would you know?
It’s on the PRNDL
park
Reverse
Neutral NBA finals
Etc etc
Because I actually created the finals
holy shit, it’s Adam Silver. get him!
lol respect the honesty at least. I’m just enjoying the ride while it lasts, gonna be a rough wakeup call if we don’t get past Boston first
nah it’s easy fellow ABA bro
It’s crazy how Clyde has been around to be there for generations of Knicks fans. Mike Breen talks about Clyde being his childhood hero watching him win 2 titles and I’ve spent my entire Knicks fandom for the past 25+ years since I cared to follow with him there as well. Clyde has been through some amazing highs with the team and, like Breen said, has seen some horrible teams. When he was there handing the ECF trophies to the Knicks it was a beautiful sight. I hope he’ll be there if this team wins it this year.
Clyde is my GOAT. I am too young to have seen him play, but old enough to have heard him on the radio doing Knicks games when I was 8. That man’s voice is one of the main reasons I came to love the Knicks.
Man, that moment when he handed the ECF trophy to the team hit different. You could tell he was holding back some emotion after all those rough years watching with us. Really hope he gets to call a finals win before he hangs it up.
Please let me just see one in my life 😭
Unfortunately your best team in a long time will be during Wemby’s prime, gotta wait a bit longer.
Shit talking aside, hope you and us can keep the core players for a long time. Manifesting an all time great series and hopefully for many more years.
The worst part is this isn’t Wemby’s prime yet 💀
unfortunately for you, your team is about to get slapped
future me is sick of the spurs winnings so im happy to give the knicks this one
it wasn’t very long ago people made fun of them like the current laughingstocks of this league. but look at them now. finals.
justifiably
Makes this run even sweeter
This is actually Clyde getting fitted for a suit for the Finals, btw. Per Knicks Creative Director.
This suit fabric fine af.
Knicks need to win this one. Clyde deserves to see them win again.
Clyde the coolest cat ever!
Let’s win it for Clyde and all the Knicks fans who couldn’t make it to see us in the Finals again 🙏🏿
Once a Knick, Always a Knick
There are not enough brick walls on the PLANET to stop me right now dude LETS FUCKING GO
I want it so bad for this city.
Haven’t been this excited for a finals since warriors Celtics
one of the most exciting finals as a neutral
CHILLS
Definitely not rooting for the Knicks, but Clyde is a cutie 🥹
This series has the potential to be an all time great series for the ages. A resilient, and gritty Knicks team going against a young, upcoming Spurs team that has potential to be an all time great team.
On one side you have an undersized point guard that no one believed in. He was drafted in the second round. Everyone questions if he can ever lead his team to a championship.
On the other side you have a physical freak who was seemingly built in a lab to play basketball. He is heralded as the greatest prospect of all time. It was unquestionably guaranteed he would be selected #1. Everyone expects him to win not just one but multiple championships.
My only hope is that each game is cleanly officiated and does not become about the refs and is instead about the plays and players on the court.
I’m bricked up.
They gotta win for him.
Very cool.
Please let this be the year. Spurs’ll be fine.
KNICKS IN 6
4
I want the Spurs to win so fucking bad but the Knicks deserve their time too. Im hoping it’s a great series.
That’s all I want… a great series. I want seven games and OT in every single one of them!!
Clyde won the last championship when I was born basically. This dude is an absolute legend. And yes, I’m old and ready to lose my mind over this shit.
Why am I getting chills off this in California
I’m fucking ready
Bro. Idk if it’s the original video or the production, but damn this looks extremely crisp. Like I wish to god the broadcasts looked like this.
This man stays fly af. And PLEASE have Breen call the finals, hearing his voice behind the plays is just music to the ears.
Not rooting for Knicks but I think it’s great to have an old school OG franchise icon and multiple ring winner there each game to support them.
Knicks for the double let’s go
damn this is sick
One legend passing the torch to the next legend…. lets get this chip!
Knicks fans are very lucky to have Breen calling these games
I hope they can lift that damn championship trophy this year, because they are simply incredible, I’ve witnessed their growth every step of the way.
Man if it was against anybody but the spurs I’d practically be wearing orange and blue for the next 2 weeks. Almost makes me sad. But it will make the loss slightly more bearable if we can’t get it done.
This might be THE Knicks run to finally get it done after 53 years. A Spurs team led by Wemby have years ahead of them to be championship contenders. We Knicks fans just need this one lol.
shit im not even a knicks fan but living in this great city, bring this shit home knicks
I’m a die-hard Spurs fan but this gave me goosebumps. Can’t imagine how fired up NY fans must be right now. Clyde is the man!!! Can’t wait til showtime. Go Spurs Go!
I was alive for the 1999 run but I wasn’t into basketball and the Knicks yet. This is my true first Finals experience. I can’t begin to explain how pumped I am for this.
Definitely want the win but the Knicks are team to take it from us that I would feel the least upset about.
Laflop watching this thinking, hope one of the six clubs asks me for a camo in twenty years.
They better play this before Game 3
Cinema
Goosebumps
Here I am sitting on the toilet, watching this, so fucking pumped
Happy shitting
Man it’d be so funny if the Knicks get swept
Michael: this city 🦵
Chalamet LOL, sorry man I can’t…
of knicks win Brunson gonna get a 20ft tall statue
Clyde and Breen for that matter have had to watch and commentate over some dark times. There were times their commentary was the only thing remotely positive about watching some rancid Knicks games.
Even if you don’t like the Knicks, knowing how happy they will be to witness a W would be an incredible and well deserved moment in itself.
Is there a team in any other sport with as large of a devoted fan base, yet very limited on field/court success?
I hope they win.
Rooting for Knicks, man. Knicks in 6
What in the world can make the Knicks
brown-eyed boys turn blue?
La la lalala
San Antonio Spurs!
All this just to lose to the Spurs again
All this for a drop of blood
Bit early to call it
[deleted]
Hes probably like 12 rooting because of wemby cut him some slack
[removed]
you sound like an incredibly miserable person
These twats are the reason no neutral should be rooting for spurs. So unbearable
Wow, you must be an x man to know how I am from one single reddit comment. Give my regards to the professor.
Oh you goofy fr
If you see this and think it’s stroking an ego you’re just a hater. New York hasn’t had a finals worthy team in decades and they’re just happy about it.
Yes, people in a city that loves basketball will go crazy when they have a team that is good at basketball. Not all of us get gifted generational big men once per decade. The Knicks have been the butt end of jokes for so long for being a terrible franchise, obviously their success will make headlines. The narrative has nothing to do with stroking an ego and everything to do with acknowledging that this franchise has done a 180. Just admit you’re a hater
