Walt Frazier stood at the mic, and the sharp-dressed man of teal introduced his former Knicks backcourt partner, Earl Monroe. The 71-year-old Hall of Famers were together again Tuesday at Clyde Frazier’s Wine and Dine in Manhattan to promote their latest dish-and-swish venture — the Gotham Ballers of the Champions Basketball League, coming in 2017.
“I think unequivocably the best backcourt ever,” Frazier said.
They are two legendary reminders that the Knicks haven’t claimed an NBA championship since Frazier and Monroe were playing with Phil Jackson and the rest in 1973. The team hasn’t even made the postseason these last three years.
