    Glide, Dream and Horry would perfectly complement Beard and Brodie playing 5 out offense and switch everything defense/Celtics zone defense.

    With RoCo, Artest, Ralph and CP3 off the bench.

    Thanks for posting.

    Clyde looked 50 yet schooling dudes with athleticism.

    I miss calvin on the broadcast.

    It was very good. Could have used a little storytelling, but the footage was generally new which translates.

    Thought this thread was going to be about Tracy Murray not getting any PT, getting cut, then dropping fiddy.

    Clyde is such a set of contrasts:

    1. He looked so old out there, yet dunks almost effortlessly and truly unlike anyone else with his slow-motion hang time
    2. His coast-to-coast dribbling where he would put his head down and just blow past everyone, yet still looked like he was in slow-motion. Very odd, yet it worked all the time.
    3. Have you ever tried a jump-shot like Clyde does it? Jump up high, bring your feet underneath you, then shoot a line drive. Degree of difficulty 10, yet he looks effortless in doing it.
    4. Has to have the highest velocity on free throws - i.e. the ball's speed. No loft whatsoever. Yet was a good free throw shooter.
    5. He always looked so serious and focused on the court, yet on the Rockets broadcasts, he sounds like a goofball.

    One of my favorite players of all-time.

    Thanks, enjoyed!

    In today’s NBA, the MDA/DMtheGM Rox, what position does #22 play? The 2 or the 4. Or...?

    Positionless basketball. Clyde can play 2-4.

    Clyde did whatever was needed. I don't think people realize Clyde played the 4 his first two years at UH, and he didn't slide down to the 3 until Dream moved into the starting lineup his junior year. He also was the point man when they went against teams that tried to run full court presses on them. He was just a swiss army knife of a player he could do pretty much everything on the court.
