Walt Frazier is one of the greatest players in New York Knicks franchise history, and he believes Jalen Brunson could potentially become one. At Fanatics Fest in New York, Frazier, who won two titles with the Knicks and was on seven All-Star teams, gushed about Brunson.
“The expectations are always overwhelming,” Frazier said. “So for him to rise to that occasion in his first two years and take that challenge and catapult the team, he definitely has a chance to be one of the greatest Knicks ever, if not the greatest Knick ever.”
“I made a video, I didn’t get to be there when he was named captain, but I told him he reminds me a lot of Willis Reed,” Frazier continued. “They’re both left-handed, they have a tenacious work ethic, they always share and take care of each other, and they have a team-first concept. They always think about the team, not themselves.”
