Walt Frazier was the eldest of nine children, and went to Atlanta’s David Tobias Howard High School where he played as a quarterback for the football team, and also a catcher on the baseball squad. His school was all-black in the racially segregated South in the 50’s, and he was forced to play basketball on a dirt playground. He matriculated in 1963, and then attended the Southern Illinois University on a basketball scholarship – Frazier was excellent at football too, and was even offered a scholarship for that sport.
In college, Frazier was one of the best young players in the country and led his team to the NCAA Division II Tournament, but lost to Jerry Sloan’s Evansville Purple Aces after overtime. In his senior year in 1967, Walt and SIU won the National Invitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden after defeating Marquette University 71-56; Frazier was named MVP of the tournament.
Frazer was picked-up by the New York Knicks as the 5th pick overall in the 1967 NBA Draft. He got his nickname “Clyde” while in New York because of the resemblance of his hat to Warren Beatty’s from the “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967) movie. During his ten years with the Knicks, Frazier won two titles in 1970 and 1973, was selected seven times to the All-Star game, and was an MVP of the All-Star game in 1975. He was even the first player to have a shoe named after him – “Clyde” by Puma. Frazier and Earl “the Pearl” Monroe formed the famous “Rolls Royce Backcourt” in the ’70’s, one of the best back-court combinations in the history of the game.
Walt Frazier held several Knicks records for years before Patrick Ewing broke most of them in the 90’s. Frazier had most – games (759) and minutes (28,995) played, field goals attempted (11,669), field goals made (5,736), free throws attempted (4,017), free throws made (3,145), assists (4,761), and points (14,617); his assists record still stands today. Frazier spent ten years in New York, and then played the last three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers where he retired in 1980. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987 and was also named one of the 50 greatest players in 1996.
After finishing his professional career, Frazier started to work as a player agent, but that didn’t last long. He lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands for quite some time, and even opened a bed and breakfast establishment. Walt then became a broadcaster with the Atlanta Hawks in 1981 and later switched to the Knicks in the same post in 1987, and still works in a similar capacity.
Regarding his personal life, Walter Frazier’s marital status and the number of children is unknown as he kept it privately, except that he was married to Martha Clark(1965-67). Frazier established The Walt Frazier Youth Foundation to provide support for high school students from inner-cities, and opened a fine dining restaurant named Clyde Frazier’s Wine & Dine near Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.

However, in the mid-60s he also got the job of a poverty lawyer and later continued as a lawyer for the Federal Trade Comission. After few years of hard work, Ben Stein decided to try himself in acting too, but before starting to get roles he became a Hollywood consultant.

Mikey Teutul Net Worth
Michael Joseph was born 26 November 1978, in Montgomery, New York State USA, and widely known as Mikey Teutul, is a reality television personality, the youngest son of Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutul, Sr. Mikey began his working life at 14, in the family business.
So just how rich is Mikey Teutul, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Mikey has a net worth of over $3 million dollars, largely earned by working at his father’s and older brother Paul Jr,’s company Orange County Choppers (OCC), and Orange County Iron Works, and through his TV appearances.
Mikey Teutul Net Worth $3 Million
Little is known of Mikey’s early life or education – it seems to have always revolved around the family business. Helping out his family in his teens, theoretically he worked as Assistant General Manager. but his main duties were to answer ‘phones, and clear-up and take out the trash. He was on rare occasions given the chance to build bikes, until he was competent to build his own. He also attended events for promoting OCC.
In 2002, the family was invited to take part in a reality show, Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper”, and subsequently “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior”, in the course of which the youngest son was thrown out of the business – the middle son is Daniel, and younger sister Cristin. The reason for Mikey’s exclusion was that Mikey tried to be a mediator between his father and his brother, but his father seemed to be offended that his younger son did not take his side, and so threw him out of the business. During the filming of the show, Mikey was somethoing of a comedy relief to his father’s workers, and that comedy streak helped gain him popularity in TV shows. Mikey then joined his brother’s post-OCC venture, -Paul Jr Designs – along with most of their father’s employees; obviously the work atmosphere with Paul Teutul, Sr. was not a particularly happy one. Mikey’s eldest brother Paul Jr. was the former chief fabricator of OCC.
So actually the main source of Mikey Teutul’s wealth is not his father’s business, but the shows he eventually took part in. These have included ‘The Late Show with David Letterman”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, and also “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. The shows became very popular and Mikey’s appearances earned him a significant amount of money. To say the least, the family drama did not go without consequences – according to rumours, Mikey Teutul was suffering from an addiction problem, and consequently admitted himself to rehab, and managed to overcome the bad habits which were apparently hindering his progress in life, obviously including business.
In his life away from the businesses already referred to and the limelight of TV, Michael loves to paint, and is apparently respected for his productions, as he opened “The Wolfgang Gallery” gallery in Montgomery, New York, where he has sold or auctioned his paintings, adding somewhat to is net worth, although rumours suggest that the gallery may now be closed. Most recently, Mikey is now trying to enter the market under the moniker LLC FarQueue Products with his line of gourmet pasta sauces. Good luck, Mikey!
In his less-than-private personal life, Mikey is apparently still single – there aren’t even any rumours of romantic liaisons.
