    Like a lot of people I've been watching a lot of stuff on YouTube. This came up on my mix this morning.

    Totally agree with this video. Clyde was one of the greatest of all times but happened to play at a time and in the same position as Jordan. I'm still sad we couldn't get him another ring in 1997.

    Clyde drexler lost to Jordan in a finals.

    Clyde drexler was known for defense and filling the lane for sure.

    2nd best SG behind MJ in his ERA. No one else close to MJ and then Clyde. History for Clyde might be different if there was no MJ

    took the blazers to finals twice and went to nba finals 3 times. He was the second best SG at that time behind jordan. Does that answer your question? LOL

    Clyde was a better Dwyane Wade.

    Hes better than D wade in his prime. He had everything that dwade had and plus a 3 point shot. The athleticism and everything. Imagine D-wade with a 3 pt shot

    Clyde was a Harold Miner that could Shoot, Pass, Rebound, and Defend

    So what you're saying is, Clyde was like a right handed Cuttino with more athleticism, and more offensive weapons...

    Interesting fact: "The Rock" aka Mitch Richmond, which MJ said was the 2nd best SG next to him , made as many ALL NBA team as Da Glide.

    I think MJ said that just to diss Da Clyde.

    mitch richmond is also good. He didn't have that athleticism like clyde. Dunking from the free throw line in a game is pretty nasty.

    The thing about Clyde was... he never got BAD. 35 year old Clyde, when healthy, could HOOP. He could have played til 40. But he wanted to play golf and pretend to coach UH.

    Weren't Blazers supposed to pick Jordan instead of Bowie?

    Jordan and Clyde on the same team mang.....get a point forward.

    Blazers trade one of them to Houston.
