Walt Frazier, basketball hall of famer and former New York Knickerbocker is one of Walrus Comix’ favourite human beings.. period. His eloquence, his style, his élan, his maximum verbosity and mainly his fucking COOL is peerless.

In 1974 “Clyde” (his nickname to those who don’t know) wrote his first book entitled “Rockin’ steady; a guide to basketball & cool by Walt Frazier”. This is the BEST book ever written by a professional athlete. Bar none…

He goes over the finer points of defense, and offense, discusses various plays and statistics and talks about preparing for game day.. This is all terrific, illustrated in the vintage 1970s style.. Yeah this is all fabulous, but it’s the chapters entitled ‘COOL’ and ‘A GENERAL GUIDE TO LOOKING GOOD AND OTHER MATTERS’ that send this tome to the top of the charts..

The man actually gives you step by step guidelines on how to groom yourself, how to romance the ladies, how to dress, what kind of music to listen to.. chockful of pictures of Clyde from back in the day..

It’s out of print and pretty hard to find.. But any fan of basketball or the Knickerbockers or Clyde should keep checking ebay for this wonderful book- We Recommend!
