description: The Legendary Guide to Playin' Ball and Livin' Right Is Back!For millions of basketball fans in the 1970s, Walt "Clyde" Frazier defined the word cool. One of the greatest point guards in NBA history, Clyde guided the New York Knicks to their only two championships with a style and flair that was wholly his own. Worshipped for both his skills on the court and his flamboyant fashion sense off it, he was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987, was named one of the NBA's 50 greatest players in 1996, and is currently the Knicks' color analyst on the MSG Network.Back in 1974, Clyde and New York Times sportswriter and future Pulitzer Prize winner Ira Berkow collaborated on a book that has become an iconic and much-sought-after piece of basketball history. Now, three decades later, Rockin' Steady is back with an all-new introduction, afterword, and everything that made it one of the most unique sports books of all time, including:Rare, full-color photos from legendary Sports Illustrated photographer Walter Iooss Jr.Insight into Clyde's game and his thoughts on competitors such as Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Pete Maravich, and Nate ArchibaldGrooming secrets, wardrobe tips, and instructions for snatching flies out of midair, picking the right girl, and purchasing a Rolls-RoyceOne-of-a-kind illustrations from artist John LaneAn introduction by Celtics Hall of Famer Bill RussellA wild tour through sports and life in the 1970s, Rockin' Steady is a book unlike any the world has ever seen.
