Walt "Clyde" Frazier is a professional basketball Hall of Famer and World Champion, he has a legendary sneaker named after him(Puma Clyde), that played a major role in the development of HipHop culture, he is an author and television broadcaster for the NBA New York Knicks.

His reputation for being cool in his demeanor and dress are known the world over. He is referenced in the majority of Spike Lee films either directly or indirectly(Denzel Washington's character in "Inside Man" had Frazier as his last name and was a Walt Frazier fan).

So when a New York City nightlife veteran like Clyde says he spends lots of his time on an island, you'd think Manhattan. We'd be wrong(myself included).

The island of choice for him is St. Croix. There he develops land and tends to his landscaping(trees in particular).
