#11 Walt Frazier - Willis Reed
CAREER STATS
Walt Frazier) PPG- 18.9 RPG- 5.9 APG- 6.1
Willis Reed) PPG- 18.7 RPG- 12.9 APG- 1.8
This New York duo so far is the most positive imprint on the Knicks dynasty. Willis Reed was drafted by the Knicks in 1964 becoming Rookie of the Year after the first season. Reed played Center even though he was 6 foot 9 inches. It was his physicality that separated him from the rest. Walt Frazier played point guard for the Knicks and was drafted in 1967. Both Willis and Walt would only start really competing in 1970. The Knicks had faced the Lakers in three straight Finals winning two out of three. (1970 & 1973) Willis Reed won Finals MVP, regular season MVP, and All-Star MVP in 1970 becoming the first and only player ever to accomplish this feat. Both Frazier and Reed were tenacious and smooth in their ways on the court.
