    I was stumbling across the internet and found this mix of our very own Clyde

    the Glyde Drexler. His raw athlethiclism was off the charts. Sorry If this has

    been posted before I just wanted to share with all my friends on Clutch fans

    because it's awesome! I figured id put this in the hangout since it isnt current.

    Thanks for the link. Great video.

    I can't help but chuckle at the music selection though. Seems more appropriate for a J.R. Rider highlight reel... :D

    Awesome video...nice find. He really did seem to just glide through the air.

    The other videos on that page are sweet too, they have Hakeem dominating DRob.

    I'm still a firm believer that if Arvydas Sabonis had come over the year he was officially drafted in 1986, those Blazers teams in the early 90s would've given the Bulls a run for their money.

    Clyde + Young Sabonis would've given Portland at least one championship.

    Agreed, man. And imagine if they'd shifted Clyde to the 3 and kept Petrovic..

    I still remember that spin where he dropped Howard Eisley. That was a nice pass whoever threw it.

    Spectacular video. Clyde was a great player who doesn't get enough credit that he deserves for helping us win the NBA Championship for the 2nd time.

    That was cool. Clyde definitely earned his nickname.

    Not to derail this thread, but I youtube'd footage of Sabonis as I've always heard of, but never seen anything from his EuroLeague days. All I can say is "wow."

    Drexler was widely considered on par with Jordan until the finals when Jordan embarassed him.

    Drexler was a stud, and to think we could have him and Jordan for Ralph Sampson.

    I always wished they could have played together for an NBA team.
    They'd make such a superb duo. They'd prolly win the championship every single year.

    Some fans IMO don't talk much about Clyde's contribution to a championship.
