While enjoying an intense playoff game between his New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers, Knicks legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier was caught on camera enjoying a snack in a special way.
Frazier was seen eating french fries from a container, but not using his hands.
The two-time NBA champion was seen bringing the container to his mouth and then eating them without touching them – even apparently gnawing on the cardboard.
Frazier watched as the Knicks engaged in a tight game that they won 130-121 on their home court at Madison Square Garden.
The second-seeded Knicks lead the sixth-seeded Pacers 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. Game 3 is scheduled for Friday evening in Indianapolis.

He watched as Jalen Brunson battled through a foot injury to earn a 130-121 victory over Indiana.
Brunson led the team with 29 points, while all five Knicks starters scored double-digit points
Brunson missed the final 15:32 of the first half with a right foot injury. The Knicks led 24-17 when Brunson left, but they entered the second half trailing 73-63.
Brunson received a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden after leading the Knicks in warmups prior to the third quarter. He played all 24 minutes in the second half and had 24 of his team-high 29 points — along with four assists, two steals and one rebound — over the final two quarters, as New York defeated the Pacers 67-48.
OG Anunoby scored 28 points before leaving with 3:27 left in the third quarter due to a left hamstring injury. The Knicks are already playing without Mitchell Robinson, who will miss at least six weeks after aggravating a left ankle injury in Game 1, and Julius Randle, who is out for the season due to a right shoulder injury suffered in January.
Donte DiVincenzo also had 28 points, while Josh Hart (19 points, 15 rebounds) and Isaiah Hartenstein (14 points, 12 rebounds) posted double-doubles for the Knicks, who played the final 8:01 without making a substitution.
Tyrese Haliburton had 34 points and nine assists for the Pacers, while Obi Toppin scored 20 points off the bench. Andrew Nembhard had 15 points, Pascal Siakam added 14 points and nine rebounds and TJ McConnell had a double-double (10 points, 12 assists) off the bench.
Nembhard opened the third quarter with a layup for the Pacers before New York went on a 36-16 run to end the period with a 99-91 lead. Indiana scored the first six points of the fourth and went on a 10-3 run that ended when McConnell hit a layup with 8:03 remaining to cut the Pacers’ deficit to 102-101.
Hart hit a 3-pointer and Indiana pulled within two points four more times, the last coming at 112-110 on a floater by Haliburton with 4:35 to go. But DiVincenzo drained an open corner 3-pointer on the Knicks’ next trip, and Siakam missed a 3-pointer and two free throws on the Pacers’ next possession.
