WATCH: Brunson, Hart Celebrate Breen, Frazier's 25 Years as Knicks' Voices

MSG Network's Tuesday broadcast of the New York Knicks game is serving as a tribute to longtime voices Mike Breen and Walt "Clyde" Frazier.

An iconic New York Knicks duo in the making recognized what's perhaps the franchise's greatest.

Before taking the floor for their Tuesday night tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart offered a special gift for MSG Network's Mike Breen and Walt "Clyde" Frazier, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary as a television broadcasting tandem on Tuesday. 

As Breen and Frazier greeted viewers to coverage of Tuesday's game, Brunson and Hart delivered Knicks jerseys bearing the No. 25 and "Breen & Clyde" on the nameplates. Ever appreciative of the gesture, an emotional Breen referred to the gifts as "not bad!" while Frazier held back tears of joy by telling his on-floor successors to "come away with a victory tonight!"

Monday marked the silver anniversary of Breen and Frazier's first broadcast on MSG Network, the delayed opener to the 1998-99 NBA season in Orlando. Since then, the duo has narrated some of the most memorable and notorious moments in Knicks history and has been frequently recognized as one of the top local broadcasting pairs in the NBA.

With that in mind, coverage of Tuesday's game has and will continue to feature various tributes to the lasting Breen/Frazier pairing. MSG host Bill Pidto narrated a montage of photos to tip things off, while a video tribute featured well wishes from celebrity Knicks fans such as Tracy Morgan, Steve Schirripa, Ben Stiller, Justin Tuck, and John Turturro.

The Knicks led the Grizzlies 31-24 after the first quarter of Tuesday's game.
