Walt Frazier Clumsily Stumbles Over “They Booed Santa” During Summer League Game
By Jim Adair

Many things about the Las Vegas Summer League have been unprofessional: The basketball, the production, the refereeing, and the announcing (though it’s not as bad as Utah). Last night’s Knicks/Sixers game had the great honor of being announced by the MSG Network crew of Walt Frazier and Mike Breen (who is actually very good). When talking about how some Sixers fans weren’t super psyched about the Okafor pick, Breen mentioned it was before news of the Embiid injury broke, to which Frazier replied, “C’mon Mike, they, they booed Santa Claus, these Sixer fans.”
Again, let us educate:
Hello Walt, How are you? Just here to let you know that Eagles fans booed (and threw snowballs at, don’t forget that) Santa a full SIX YEARS before you were drafted by the New York Knicks. You were 16 when it happened. You’re 70 now. Maybe it’s time to move forward, yes? Also, your suits are terrible.

When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
