“During his rookie season with the Knicks, he picked up the nickname “Clyde” because he wore a fedora similar to that of Warren Beatty, who played Clyde Barrow in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde.”
Frazier’s nickname derived from the crime duo ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ who were famous for numerous bank robberies. Because of his sneaky game and ability to make fast steals, it only made sense that Frazier became known as Clyde.
Genius.
