Does this confirm how stupid the Knick's organization is?

Frazier was better than Isiah. More efficient offensively, superior defensively, equally clutch (though Isiah was the guy I'd want at my back in a fight). Isiah was the better distributor but dominated the ball a lot more as well.

It makes no difference how long ago they played. There are some guys in the recent past (prime Payton for one) and maybe some playing today that will be in their primes better than Isaiah was. And Frazier was better than Payton too--a couple playing today might reach Walt's level, but that's setting the bar very high and it remains to be seen.
You've been reading too many (totally sterotyped and erroneous) posts by other posters here that think they have me pegged because I stand up for the old time players I actually saw play (not many of us here, and someone who actually saw the old timers play has to talk some sense and reality to you younger posters) Well they don't, and you don't, so why don't you be a good boy and go play in the traffic with the other know-it-all kiddies?
Know-it-all kiddies? I have no idea how old you are, but I'm 52 yrs old. Certainly old enough to make judgement on past players, that I, too, have seen play. Who stereotypes who?
Oh, and, Magic Johnson > Walt Frazier. Not defensively, but certainly overall. I'd say Oscar was better too and that Stockton is debateable.
