    Clyde won today as the head coach of "Power" in 3 on 3 league. The team has Catino Mobly and Moochie Norris.

    Drexler JR, you mean. He was cut with several other people prior to the start of summer league.

    Clyde Drexler's son had worse college stats than Lonzo Ball's father did. Inviting him to summer league mini-camp is purely a favor to dad.

    I believe he was invited to the summer league practice showcase.
    Apparently he had no show to case.

    But would tinman's world have exploded if Drexler's son guarded Cassell's son?

    I once saw Clyde Drexler at O'Hare, I said "Hey! You're Clyde Drexler!" And he gave me a stank eye, and walked off. Made my day.

    Seems like he could never really get things heated up.

    And tinman's at the game, right now, too. EMTs probably would have had to been called, as he'd be losing his mind, reciting past clutch city moments to those around him, in increasing pitch and pace until he hyperventilated.

    Maybe instead of saying "you're" you should've said "are you?" I saw Clyde Drexler at the mall in 1995 when I was a kid. "I said are you Clyde Drexler?!" He said I sure am! Of course I knew it was him but I was so excited those were the exact words that came out... he was my most fav player ever. I'd try and shoot like him.... 2 hand overhead kick out both legs backwards....Copy his freethrows head down dribble hard with both hands.

    Then he gave me an autograph. He was already my favorite player but that was like a dream come true as a kid. A few days later he was traded to Houston and that's how I became a Rockets fan. My baby sister was with me and she still makes fun of me about how I said "Areeee youuuu Clyde Drexlerrrrr?!" I was 12 and she was 7. How dafuq does she still remember that?

    Why would any 10 year old want Abe Vigoda's autograph?

    I saw John Lucas at the Gringos bar in Pearland sipping beer out of a straw.

    Asked him if he was John Lucas and he said "lol shhh, I'm not Lucas but I get confused for him a lot, we are friends"

    He was totally John Lucas trying not to get caught in a bar. Even had a Rockets team shirt on.
