At number eight comes Walt Frazier, who was one of the best two-way point guards to ever play the game. His leadership on both offense and defense led the Knicks to their only two championships in franchise history.

Frazier boasts career numbers of 18.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game while shooting an impressive 49 percent from the field. On the defensive side, Frazier was a force to be reckoned with, as he was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team seven years in a row. His efforts on both sides of the ball led to two NBA championships, the only two championships in Knicks franchise history.

Frazier’s other career accolades include seven All-Star selections and four All-NBA First Team selections. His efforts in a Knicks uniform resulted in his #10 being retired by the team.
