Walt Frazier Quotations

Red always instructed us to hit the open man. That night I was the open man.

Red would get in your face. But not in the press.

This is the golden age of sports, Mike.

I'm not a guy who did drugs or drank alcohol. I had a good work ethic and gave back to the community.

I took the game seriously. It was my profession. My teammates also took losing hard. We would all sit in the locker room after losing a big game and talk about how we could have done something differently to change the outcome

The attitude of wanting to win-doing everything in your power except cheating to win.

Building discipline, earning respect and overcoming adversity are all parts of a winning game plan. If you don't have a game plan, where are you going? When I'm talking about a game plan, I'm talking about how you go about being the best player you can be and how you go about being successful in life.

The fans have always supported me; bought my books, attended my camps and wore my sneakers. I will always have a special relationship with the fans.

When a player keeps a calm demeanor on the court, it's easier for his ability to shine. The best response to an opposing player's physical or psychological tactics is to keep cool and come right back at him with the force of your game, not your fists. Revenge is always sweeter if your team wins the game.

The regular season is where you make your name, but the postseason is where you make your fame

The star player must slay his ego and learn teamwork and communication skills before he can achieve the ultimate in sport
