Knicks icon Clyde Frazier caught 'eating fries like chicken wings' at NBA Finals

NBA legend Walter ‘Clyde’ Frazier was in the house for the New York Knicks’ stunning 107-106 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, and fans are seemingly obsessed with the way he was caught eating fries in the stands.

Knicks fever has reached a fever pitch in NY, with celebrities like Taylor Swift and the Haim sisters, Sydney Sweeney, and Spike Lee all piling into Maddison Square Garden for Game 4.

Timothée Chalamet, who was recently gifted a coveted Chipotle ‘unlimited burritos’ card, was also in the vicinity with partner Kylie Jenner, as was Tracy Morgan, Knicks icon Patrick Ewing, and Wu-Tang Clan, who reunited to perform at halftime.

Frazier, who played for the side from 1967 to 1977, leading the franchise to its only NBA championships in 1970 and 1973, was spotted in the crowd wearing a Knicks hat with the phrase ‘Stylin and Profilin’ on it.

“Those are my phrases, you know dishin’ and swishin’, shakin’ and bakin’, stylin’ and profilin’,” he told Stephen A. Smith during an interview.

At one point in the match, when the Spurs were up by 81 to the Knicks’ 78, the camera honed in on a sunglasses-clad Frazier eating chips horizontally.

One social media user uploaded the blink-and-you-miss-it clip to X, with the caption: “Why is Clyde Frazier eating fries like chicken wings?”

The 81-year-old has since gone viral, with one fan claiming it may have just been ‘muscle memory’.

“We were talking about this, I think it was two fries stuck together and he wasn’t ready for the big dog,” someone else suggested.

“He got them bone-in fries,” a third added.

Another said: “Why are you obsessed with a man's personal choice of consuming food? Keep Rockin' Steady, @WaltFrazier.”

In an interview with Andscape, Frazier opened up about watching Knicks games almost three decades after departing in 1977.

“It’s like a family reunion with what the Knicks are doing at home games,” the seven-time NBA All-Star said.

“It’s very rewarding that they appreciate what we’ve done in the past and what we have meant to the team. They are not forgetting us with the team success. They’ve made us a part of it. …

“All the decades are represented. And they know the struggle.”

Another sportsman who made headlines recently is Tom Brady, former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.

The businessman launched a joint collaboration with GoPuff earlier this week—an organic coconut water called ‘Go Nut’.

The name hasn’t gone down so well with fans, with some calling for Brady to ‘change’ the moniker immediatley.

“Naming a drink 'Good Nut' in the internet era is wild. Nobody checked Urban Dictionary?,” one user commented.

“Yeah he's outta his mind with this one,” reported someone else. A third user penned: “Imagine asking a store owner if he has GOOD NUT.”

According to Tyler Stewart, Gopuff’s head of marketing, Good Nut came to fruition after Brady started explaining how much he loved drinking chocolate coconut water.

“Blending premium products with brands that are playful, unexpected, and don’t take themselves too seriously has become a huge part of how we build together with Tom,” he told the Boston Globe.

Go Nut is currently available in three flavours: original, sparkling, and chocolate. Each individual can is priced at $3.29.
