Walt “Clyde” Frazier has never been afraid to speak his mind, but his latest live-broadcast moment left NBA fans frozen in disbelief. During the Knicks vs. Bulls matchup at Madison Square Garden.
Giddey’s name has remained in headlines over the past few years because of the controversy surrounding his alleged relationship with an underage girl.
But even when he tries to keep his personal life quiet, he somehow still becomes a talking point and Frazier made sure of that on Friday night.
While discussing the Bulls guard, Frazier suddenly shifted gears and made a statement that stunned both fans and his broadcast partner.
“Giddey… he is from Australia,” Clyde said casually. “Remember, he was a sex symbol in OKC. All the women, they had jerseys printed up for him and everything there.”
The clip exploded online within minutes, with fans replaying it in disbelief. Frazier is known for his colorful vocabulary and quirky rhymes, but this level of blunt commentary was surprising even for him.
And it wasn’t the only eyebrow-raising moment of the night. Before tip-off, Frazier also took a sharp jab at the Bulls’ recent struggles, using words like “eradicated” and “obliterated” to describe their defensive lapses.
On the court, the Knicks backed up Frazier’s criticism. New York opened with a 20–1 run and closed the first half with a stunning 78–41 lead the largest halftime margin in franchise history.
Giddey’s return from a hamstring injury didn’t help Chicago’s cause. The Australian guard shot just 3-for-12 and committed four turnovers, struggling to find rhythm from the start.
Chicago’s season, once promising after a 5–0 start, has unraveled due to injuries, inconsistency, and constant lineup changes. Friday’s 136–96 loss only deepened their ongoing frustrations.
As for Frazier’s comment, the reaction online suggests it will be replayed for days another unforgettable moment from the NBA’s most unpredictable voice.
