Former NBA champion Clyde Frazier offered an unfiltered remark while discussing Josh Giddey’s career during a live broadcast on Friday. Frazier, who was on air during the Chicago Bulls’ visit to Madison Square Garden, caught many off guard with his comments as he spoke about Giddey during the game.
Legion Hoops shared a clip of Frazier’s candid on-air moment on X (formerly Twitter).
Thanks for the submission!
“Giddey is from Australia, remember, he was a sex symbol in OKC, all the women had jerseys printed up for him and everything there,” Fraizer remarked.

Frazier’s statement was in line with his on-air persona, as he highlighted Giddey’s popularity in Oklahoma City with a bold remark. However, the Knicks legend was not entirely off the mark, as the guard was a fan favorite during his time with the Thunder.
Selected as the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Giddey quickly endeared himself to OKC fans, averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in his rookie season, earning a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
Giddey spent two more seasons in Oklahoma City, continuing to develop and helping the team reach the playoffs in his final year. However, the Australian was traded to the Chicago Bulls last season in exchange for Alex Caruso and has since emerged as a key player in the Windy City.

He remains one of the Bulls’ standout performers this season, averaging 17.2 points and 9.2 assists per game despite the team enduring a difficult campaign. However, the guard had a tough outing at Madison Square Garden on Friday, as Chicago fell to a 136-96 defeat.
Josh Giddey’s scoring woes continue in blowout loss to the New York Knicks
The New York Knicks secured an impressive win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday, reaching the 50-win mark with the victory. Meanwhile, the Bulls slumped to their sixth consecutive defeat, as Josh Giddey’s scoring struggles continued in the Big Apple.
The guard has recorded single-digit scoring in three of his last four appearances and finished Friday’s game with just six points, shooting 25.0% from the field. This marks a concerning trend for Giddey, who began the season strongly but has since seen a dip in form.
However, while his scoring has been an issue, both fans and Giddey can take solace in his playmaking ability, with the guard recording over 10 assists in four of his last five games.
