Summary
Frazier averaged 18-8-10 in the series, outperforming the likes of Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor — and Reed, who was dominant over the first four games but tallied just 11 points and three rebounds over the final three, one of which he missed entirely because of the injury.It wasn’t the last time Frazier showed his mettle without Reed.Two years after clinching the Knicks’ first title, the gritty point guard guided them back to the Finals. New York then narrowly dispatched L.A. in a Finals rematch, with Frazier playing 46 minutes per game and again making a strong case for an MVP award that again went to Reed.While Frazier’s prime wasn’t especially long and his career averages might appear more good than great, he paced the Knicks in scoring five years in a row."And keep in mind he’s doing that while being one of the best defensive guards of his era," Wright said.
