Walt Frazier already has his jersey hanging in the rafters at Madison Square Garden and a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame for his playing career. On Friday, he added another Hall of Fame honor, being named the Curt Gowdy Electronic Media Award winner.
The Curt Gowdy Media Award is named in honor of the late Curt Gowdy, a legendary sports broadcaster and former Hall of Fame board member and president. The award is presented to members of the print, electronic and transformative media whose efforts have made a significant contribution to the game of basketball.
Frazier will be honored during the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement weekend on Sept.
