Recently, Knicks star Walter Fraser was interviewed by the media when attending an event hosted by PUMA.
Asked why the Knicks don't attract big-name stars, he said:
"The fans are too fierce, really. In New York, the stars have almost no privacy, your every move is transparent, and you can't get rid of that. Everyone wants to know what you're doing, why you're doing it, or even why you're not doing it. A lot of players can't accept this kind of all-round look.
"You don't have to take as much criticism in Indiana or anywhere else, and you get the same salary as you did in New York. So not everyone is in New York, but I like the pressure. He added.
Talking about this summer's signings, he believes that the addition of veterans may squeeze out the starting positions of Kevin Knox and RJ Barrett.
"It's going to put pressure on these young people." He said, "You can't take it for granted that the high draft pick represents everything, it's just a beginning for them." ”
Referring to his unique fashion tastes (he likes bold, flamboyant and stylish suits), he says he wants to build a strong relationship with Knox and Barrett, one of which is to take them to buy suits. He wanted to reinvent their fashion journey.
Apparently, Barrett felt that Fraser's clothes were too fancy and not quite to his taste.
"It takes confidence," Barrett said, "but to be honest, I don't have that much confidence." ”
When it comes to the highlights of his career, it goes back to the 1970 Finals of the Seventh Race. Wells Reed became a hero after injecting painkillers into his injured knee. Because he staggered out of the player aisle and ignited the Knicks' passion.
Fraser scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 19 assists and co-won the championship with Reid.
"They said it was the Wells-Reed moment, and I thought it was a rip-off. Because I did all the work, including selling those hot dogs in midfield! ”
