the question is not the grace...but the efficiency of the player, if you ask me I would be honest, MJ was the best but Drexler was a monster of a player that even MJ would have problems with!
Clyde was always more graceful than Jordan. It's a shame a player as amazing as him had to play in Jordan's shadow just because they played in the same position.
in fact i saw an interview jordan had with john thompson where he said the playr he got most pumped to play ws drexler b/c of so many arguements of who ws better (fyi even tho the bulls won in 92, drexler avgd like 28/8/8 aganst the def of jordan & pippen, while also chasing them around on the other end)
nobody ever disputes that jordan ws the greatest SG of all time & its really hard to say he's not the best player ever, but i agree wit darockk, tht doesnt mean thr wasnt others tht were great. drexler not only scored over 22k pts (despite not starting for first couple years) but he is 1 of only 3 playrs to hve over 20k pts 6k asst 6k rebounds = all around game
Lets not be too hasty with putting Clyde at #2 in SGs. Is he underrated? Sure. But not as much as people here are trying to make it seem. And on par with MJ? When did Clyde ever average 32pts, 8reb, and 8 asst for a season?
In that particular era, player seldom change team. They all usually under rated if without winning any champion ring...but they all do deserve better treatment...
as much as i love Jordan, some of these Jordan fans commenting really do love to suck his dick.
guys, it is okay to acknowledge there were other great SG's in the league.
when you talk about styles of play, Kobe was just a carbon copy of jordan in his later years. While drexler was a totally different beast. Drexler would be everywhere on the court and his passing and rebounding was much more superior to Jordan and Kobe.
Id rather play on a team with Drexler than the other 2 guys.
Had Clyde Drexler played his whole career for a big market club instead of the last few seasons. He would get a lot more respect for being the great all around player that he was on both sides of the court. Because he could do everything very well. Including play three positions.
@facefacts911: Clyde made plenty of clutch plays in the playoffs, including game winning or saving shots, free throws, assists and steals (even buzzer beating assists and steals, but no buzzer beating shots that I know of, at least in the playoffs). But you're right: he wasn't Larry Bird or Reggie Miller when it came to outside shooting, so Portland often set him up, ala Magic Johnson, to get double teamed and kick the ball to more reliable shooters like Porter, Ainge and Duckworth.
Watched #1 about a hundred times and I am still on the line about whether or not it was a travel. Leaning towards travel. Great player though. Just keep clicking 2:02 over and over and you'll see.
Clyde was definitely the number 1 underrated player of that era. Any number of amazing plays Jordan had, Clyde matched. He could have made a Come Fly With Me video and we'd all sit eyes agape and jaws dropped.
That being said...Jordan was ten times more Dominant, which is a different category/stat...whatever you wanna call it.
olajuwon is just as underrated....the guy is one of four layers with a quadruple double, had 200 steals and blocks in a season and had two nba championships.....just my opinion
@TheWampusKat oh yeah. olajuwon is on another level than drexler. no disrespect to the clyde cuz he's and all time smooth scorer...but olajuwon is just....incredible...
@TheWampusKat : No question Olajuwon was better than Drexler. IMO, Olajuwon in 1994 and 95 was as good as anyone has ever been, MJ included.
However, I'll point out that Clyde twice came within one statistic of a quadruple double with points, assists, rebounds and steals. That's pretty impressive.
@josemour100 and playing for the Blazers....who historically have been disrespected by the national media even to this day. The east coast biased media absolutely refuse to give them any credit. They beat the Heat on national TV a few days ago...and what do they talk about? "Whats wrong with the Heat? Heat heat heat...not a damn word about the Blazers actually winning the damn game. Which is funny cuz they can't stop sucking the Thunders dick after they beat the Heat. Go figure.
clyde always gets my respect at all times. def a mesmerizing player. but second behind jordan at the SG position? nah u guys need to get of that pipe. in their prime i'd take kobe,robertson,mcgrady,king james over drexler. and thats just names off top w/o thinkin too much
@CikaKure33: I'd put Clyde in fourth behind MJ, West, and Kobe among SGs.
Oscar Robertson was always considered more of a point guard.
Tracy McGrady looked for a couple of seasons as if he might end up on Clyde's level in terms of putting up points, rebounds, assists and steals, but it never happened. He's never even gotten out of the first round of the playoffs.
King James isn't a shooting guard, he's a small forward.
Clyde was underated period. As for who was better, i don't know. All i know is everyone was too busy sucking jordan's dick to notice Drexler. I wanted to throw up every time i heard a broadcaster talking about Jordan. Yes, he was great, but nobody was allowed to guard him. Drexler was unique and was amazing to watch.
Clyde the Glide is very under-rated... When people talk about that era it's all about Jordan, Olajuwon, Magic & Bird, but Clyde should not be under-estimated. At his prime he was rated at the same par with Jordan, and he almost single-handly took a mediocre team to the NBA finals twice (no disrespect to Porter and co.)...
@sattaravy They weren't a mediocre team tough. Porter was all-star level. Kersey, Williams, Robinson and Duckworth were all good players. They were probably one of the best teams to not win a championship.
@RedDragonAirsoft Idiot??? You are a idiot because MJ accomplished everything in the NBA while Clyde haven't done shit! He haven't won anything and MJ won everything...btw, MJ embarrased Clyde every time they played! MJ is way better than Clyde...its sad! MJ is the greatest!
@Domini478 Hadn't won any thing? LOL you a fucking moron? He won multiple championships with the rockets, but didn't win any thing with the portland trail blazers. The blazers chocked every time. Learn your shit before sucking someone's dick mj fanboy
@Domini478 Again, you're sucking his dick. One man does not make a team fucktard. The bulls had many good players. MJ also never got to 50 wins without pippen just as drexler was held back by the blazers being mediocre. Do your research. You clearly haven't.
@RedDragonAirsoft You are one dumb ass nigga! The Bulls had one all star and that was Pippen...Pippen was really MJ's sidekick because he avg 18 points a game for the Buls, while MJ avg 33 points a game...Everybody need help, hell, Magic had Kareem, Isiah had Dumars, and Larry had McKale...Clyde wasn't good enough to be on MJ's level!
@Domini478 lmao! Yea, you're just another dumbass that thinks it's cool to say nigga. You just proved my point. Clyde had no back up, no team to support him. Every one you mentioned had a great team with a stand out athlete. Portland didn't, portland had drexler and drexler was the team. That was it. Clyde is better than jordan. He outstaged him multiple times, but mj had backup to stop drexler in the paint. Drexler didn't have the same back.
@RedDragonAirsoft Oh boy! here go the nigga! Clyde did had help and that was Porterm Clifford and much more! MJ is better than Clyde...ole dumb nigga! MJ embarrassed him every time he played Clyde! The stats back it up! MJ is the greatest and one person is close to MJ! And that is Kobe! If you ain't Kobe, you ain't shit to MJ! MJ is Clyde's Daddy! Clyde sucks compared to MJ! MJ didn't need no help shutting down people because he was a shut down defender! Stop making up shit! MJ is the greatest!
@Domini478 HAHAHAHAHAHHA! holy shit you are STUPID AS FUCK! Basically what you just said is kobe is better than clyde. This isn't even worth argueing. You are one stupid dipshit. Kobe is NO WHERE NEAR ANY of the older hall of famers. Also, try using a better vocabulary than just nigga. It makes you look like an ignorant dipshit. Oh wait, there's a reason for that
@Domini478 That just shows you are the stupidest fucker on youtube. Kobe is over rated. MJ and clyde scored a lot because they were good. Kobe scores a lot because he IS the team. Every thing the lakers do revolves around kobe. There is no lakers, there's kobe. That's also why portland kills the lakers every single time they play.
@sattaravy That's a pretty backhanded compliment. You don't get to the Finals 2 times and take a team that won 6 championships to 6 games by being a mediocre team.
@sattaravy He was put out in the media as Jordan's equal, and then Jordan shit all over him in the playoffs. Specifically, the remark about Drexler being a better distance shooter than MJ, and then the next game Jordan set the record for 3's in the first half of a playoff or finals game. Apart from Olajuwon on Robinson, Jordan on Drexler is one of the biggest positional ass-kickings in basketball history.
@JonnLennz: I partly agree with you, especially about MJ's motivation to hit those threes. However, the Clyde vs. MJ thing wasn't just hype. In the 5 years leading up to that series, Clyde scored 29 ppg on better than 50% shooting against MJ. In 1991 he averaged 30.5 ppg on 59% FG in a Blazers season sweep of the Bulls. In 92 he averaged 32 ppg against MJ. Even in the Finals, he averaged 25 ppg, so he wasn't exactly shut down. However, all anyone remembers is MJ's Game 1 domination.
@badpdx I'd never say that Clyde wasn't a great player, but it was just unfortunate that he happened to play the 2-position at the same time as Michael Jordan because he WILL be remembered as the lesser player. I think when it came to it, Drexler just didn't have the killer instinct that Jordan did. Even if they were on the same level of athleticism or talent, Jordan had the mental edge on him.
@JonnLennz: Drexler's competitive fire is seriously underrated. It's partly because he played with such a relaxed grace that, like Dr. J, people didn't always think he was trying. But just ask teammates and coaches he yelled at over the years and they'll tell you he wasn't always Mr. Nice Guy.
That being said, he was nowhere near MJ in the killer instinct department. MJ had the mental edge over everybody he played, with the possible exception of Larry Bird.
exactly, i mean u go to espn and see their top 10 sg these people had clyde ranked 6th when he's clearly second behind jordan. I always said put clyde in la, ney york or any big market nba city and he would of gotten the accolades and respect he deserves
@Domini478: he never had another Hall of Famer when he was in Portland. Michael (and Larry, Isiah and Magic) had at least one and sometimes two. So it's unfair to slam him and act like he was no good.
But you're right: he's not the only player on par with MJ. He was similar in many ways, but not on par. However, not being as good as MJ doesn't mean you're not good. The man was a first ballot Hall of Famer.
@Domini: there may have been enough talent on that Portland team to beat most teams, but not the teams they lost to. Isiah played with two Hall of Famers (Rodman and Dumars), two All-Stars (Laimbeer and Aguirre), and great role players like Edwards and Vinnie Johnson. Magic had Worthy (HOF), Green (All-Star), and near All-Star caliber role players like Scott, Perkins and Divac. Michael had Pippen (HOF), Grant and Cartwright (All-Stars), and great role players like Paxson and Armstrong.
@Domini478: what's your point? When Drexler played the Bulls in 1992, he didn't have any other current All-Stars, let alone anyone who ever made it to the Hall of Fame. He had Buck Williams, Danny Ainge and Jerome Kersey, who were all past their primes; Terry Porter, who had a sub-par year and a forgettable Finals; Kevin Duckworth, who was a shell of his former self that season; and a young, knuckle-headed Clifford Robinson. Sure, there was talent, but not prime talent like Chicago.
@badpdx He did have another all star and that was Porter. Porter was a two time all star in the early 90s. Kersey was one year older than MJ. Buck and Danny was about two years older than MJ.
@Domini478: Porter was an All-Star in 91 and 93. Not 92. In 92, he had a disappointing season, which was attributed to his grief over the death of his father. I know what I'm talking about.
Kersey was a year older than MJ, but relied on his athleticism, which was already deteriorating. His averages had dropped compared to previous seasons. Same with Buck Williams. By the way, Williams was 3 years older and Ainge 4 years older than MJ. Big difference between 29 and 33 in the NBA.
@Domini478: by the way, I don't understand why you feel the need to go on every video about Drexler and bash him. Clyde was a great player, and MJ doesn't need you to defend him.
All I'm saying is that Clyde didn't have another Hall of Famer on the Blazers, but took them to three Conference Finals and two NBA Finals in three years, losing each time to teams with two or more Hall of Famers and other great talent. It's no knock on him that he didn't win until he paired with Hakeem.
@badpdx Drexler is my favorite athlete(non UofL) of all time. The 92 Portland team was one of the very best teams NOT to win a chip! Period, no way around it! I don't wanna hear about 'past their primes', young 'knuckle-headed Clifford Robinson" and all these other excuses. They had all the pieces to win, not THAT deep but Ainge was still a nice addition even at his age, and Robinson 'knuckle head' or not was already one of the best 6th men in the game, and Drexler was at the top of his game.
@TheCardsfan2: Those Blazers teams were very talented and hard working.
However, they were beaten in 90 and 92 by teams that had even more pure basketball skill. Portland really had only two guys (Duckworth and Drexler) who could reliably score in the half-court when the game slowed down. Meanwhile, the Pistons and Bulls were loaded with players who could hit 18-20 footers all night long: Dumars, Johnson, Aguirre, Thomas, Edwards, Armstrong, Laimbeer, Grant, Cartwright, MJ, Paxson . . .
@badpdx everybody in the NBA has "pure skill" idk what you even mean dude. Quit trying to be John Wooden and admit that that team(who was tied 2-2 with the Bulls) could've and maybe should've won a chip. THey got too emotional and lost their heads sometimes, but they had skill. You don't accidentally make it to the finals man. BTW Porter could also score in the half court, yes they'd rather run(most of the Western Conf did) but i'm tired of hearing about lack of talent. BTW Adleman=underacheiver
@TheCardsfan2: I'm not alone in this opinion. The day after Portland lost the Finals to Chicago, Portland beat writer Dwight Jaynes wrote a column about how Portland had great athletes and hustle players who over-achieved to make it to the NBA Finals, but lacked "blue-chip" basketball skill players. Portland had guys from places like Wisconsin Stevens-Points, Eastern Illinois and Longwood College.
Adelman was a great coach, but he did make some boneheaded rotation moves.
@badpdx "great coaches" win with talent. Dwight Jaynes or any writer for a fav. team of mine don't always know everything. I hate 90% of writers that are affiliated w/the University of Louisville! I found atleast 5 lists of "The best teams to not win a Championship", so i'm also not alone in this opinion, just google it! Real talk. You can have the last word cause i don't give a sh*t about the NBA now until the playoffs. IF you wanna go back and forth on College BBall we can do this if not peace
the question is not the grace...but the efficiency of the player, if you ask me I would be honest, MJ was the best but Drexler was a monster of a player that even MJ would have problems with!

@Domini478 lmao! Yea, you're just another dumbass that thinks it's cool to say nigga. You just proved my point. Clyde had no back up, no team to support him. Every one you mentioned had a great team with a stand out athlete. Portland didn't, portland had drexler and drexler was the team. That was it. Clyde is better than jordan. He outstaged him multiple times, but mj had backup to stop drexler in the paint. Drexler didn't have the same back.

@RedDragonAirsoft Oh boy! here go the nigga! Clyde did had help and that was Porterm Clifford and much more! MJ is better than Clyde...ole dumb nigga! MJ embarrassed him every time he played Clyde! The stats back it up! MJ is the greatest and one person is close to MJ! And that is Kobe! If you ain't Kobe, you ain't shit to MJ! MJ is Clyde's Daddy! Clyde sucks compared to MJ! MJ didn't need no help shutting down people because he was a shut down defender! Stop making up shit! MJ is the greatest!

@Domini478 HAHAHAHAHAHHA! holy shit you are STUPID AS FUCK! Basically what you just said is kobe is better than clyde. This isn't even worth argueing. You are one stupid dipshit. Kobe is NO WHERE NEAR ANY of the older hall of famers. Also, try using a better vocabulary than just nigga. It makes you look like an ignorant dipshit. Oh wait, there's a reason for that

@RedDragonAirsoft Kobe is the most talented player to play this game...he have no weakness and he will killed Clyde..
Domini478 1 year ago
@Domini478 That just shows you are the stupidest fucker on youtube. Kobe is over rated. MJ and clyde scored a lot because they were good. Kobe scores a lot because he IS the team. Every thing the lakers do revolves around kobe. There is no lakers, there's kobe. That's also why portland kills the lakers every single time they play.

@sattaravy That's a pretty backhanded compliment. You don't get to the Finals 2 times and take a team that won 6 championships to 6 games by being a mediocre team.

@sattaravy He was put out in the media as Jordan's equal, and then Jordan shit all over him in the playoffs. Specifically, the remark about Drexler being a better distance shooter than MJ, and then the next game Jordan set the record for 3's in the first half of a playoff or finals game. Apart from Olajuwon on Robinson, Jordan on Drexler is one of the biggest positional ass-kickings in basketball history.

@JonnLennz: I partly agree with you, especially about MJ's motivation to hit those threes. However, the Clyde vs. MJ thing wasn't just hype. In the 5 years leading up to that series, Clyde scored 29 ppg on better than 50% shooting against MJ. In 1991 he averaged 30.5 ppg on 59% FG in a Blazers season sweep of the Bulls. In 92 he averaged 32 ppg against MJ. Even in the Finals, he averaged 25 ppg, so he wasn't exactly shut down. However, all anyone remembers is MJ's Game 1 domination.

@badpdx I'd never say that Clyde wasn't a great player, but it was just unfortunate that he happened to play the 2-position at the same time as Michael Jordan because he WILL be remembered as the lesser player. I think when it came to it, Drexler just didn't have the killer instinct that Jordan did. Even if they were on the same level of athleticism or talent, Jordan had the mental edge on him.
JonnLennz 4 months ago
@JonnLennz: Drexler's competitive fire is seriously underrated. It's partly because he played with such a relaxed grace that, like Dr. J, people didn't always think he was trying. But just ask teammates and coaches he yelled at over the years and they'll tell you he wasn't always Mr. Nice Guy.
That being said, he was nowhere near MJ in the killer instinct department. MJ had the mental edge over everybody he played, with the possible exception of Larry Bird.

@Domini478: he never had another Hall of Famer when he was in Portland. Michael (and Larry, Isiah and Magic) had at least one and sometimes two. So it's unfair to slam him and act like he was no good.
But you're right: he's not the only player on par with MJ. He was similar in many ways, but not on par. However, not being as good as MJ doesn't mean you're not good. The man was a first ballot Hall of Famer.

@badpdx He had another all star on his team and he had another good role player. He had enough talent to win it all.
Domini478 8 months ago
@Domini: there may have been enough talent on that Portland team to beat most teams, but not the teams they lost to. Isiah played with two Hall of Famers (Rodman and Dumars), two All-Stars (Laimbeer and Aguirre), and great role players like Edwards and Vinnie Johnson. Magic had Worthy (HOF), Green (All-Star), and near All-Star caliber role players like Scott, Perkins and Divac. Michael had Pippen (HOF), Grant and Cartwright (All-Stars), and great role players like Paxson and Armstrong.

@badpdx Grant was a one time all star and that was after MJ had retired.
Domini478 8 months ago
@Domini478: what's your point? When Drexler played the Bulls in 1992, he didn't have any other current All-Stars, let alone anyone who ever made it to the Hall of Fame. He had Buck Williams, Danny Ainge and Jerome Kersey, who were all past their primes; Terry Porter, who had a sub-par year and a forgettable Finals; Kevin Duckworth, who was a shell of his former self that season; and a young, knuckle-headed Clifford Robinson. Sure, there was talent, but not prime talent like Chicago.
badpdx 8 months ago
@badpdx He did have another all star and that was Porter. Porter was a two time all star in the early 90s. Kersey was one year older than MJ. Buck and Danny was about two years older than MJ.
Domini478 8 months ago
@Domini478: Porter was an All-Star in 91 and 93. Not 92. In 92, he had a disappointing season, which was attributed to his grief over the death of his father. I know what I'm talking about.
Kersey was a year older than MJ, but relied on his athleticism, which was already deteriorating. His averages had dropped compared to previous seasons. Same with Buck Williams. By the way, Williams was 3 years older and Ainge 4 years older than MJ. Big difference between 29 and 33 in the NBA.

@Domini478: by the way, I don't understand why you feel the need to go on every video about Drexler and bash him. Clyde was a great player, and MJ doesn't need you to defend him.
All I'm saying is that Clyde didn't have another Hall of Famer on the Blazers, but took them to three Conference Finals and two NBA Finals in three years, losing each time to teams with two or more Hall of Famers and other great talent. It's no knock on him that he didn't win until he paired with Hakeem.

@badpdx Drexler is my favorite athlete(non UofL) of all time. The 92 Portland team was one of the very best teams NOT to win a chip! Period, no way around it! I don't wanna hear about 'past their primes', young 'knuckle-headed Clifford Robinson" and all these other excuses. They had all the pieces to win, not THAT deep but Ainge was still a nice addition even at his age, and Robinson 'knuckle head' or not was already one of the best 6th men in the game, and Drexler was at the top of his game.
TheCardsfan2 8 months ago
@TheCardsfan2: Those Blazers teams were very talented and hard working.
However, they were beaten in 90 and 92 by teams that had even more pure basketball skill. Portland really had only two guys (Duckworth and Drexler) who could reliably score in the half-court when the game slowed down. Meanwhile, the Pistons and Bulls were loaded with players who could hit 18-20 footers all night long: Dumars, Johnson, Aguirre, Thomas, Edwards, Armstrong, Laimbeer, Grant, Cartwright, MJ, Paxson . . .
badpdx 8 months ago
@badpdx everybody in the NBA has "pure skill" idk what you even mean dude. Quit trying to be John Wooden and admit that that team(who was tied 2-2 with the Bulls) could've and maybe should've won a chip. THey got too emotional and lost their heads sometimes, but they had skill. You don't accidentally make it to the finals man. BTW Porter could also score in the half court, yes they'd rather run(most of the Western Conf did) but i'm tired of hearing about lack of talent. BTW Adleman=underacheiver

@TheCardsfan2: I'm not alone in this opinion. The day after Portland lost the Finals to Chicago, Portland beat writer Dwight Jaynes wrote a column about how Portland had great athletes and hustle players who over-achieved to make it to the NBA Finals, but lacked "blue-chip" basketball skill players. Portland had guys from places like Wisconsin Stevens-Points, Eastern Illinois and Longwood College.
Adelman was a great coach, but he did make some boneheaded rotation moves.

@badpdx "great coaches" win with talent. Dwight Jaynes or any writer for a fav. team of mine don't always know everything. I hate 90% of writers that are affiliated w/the University of Louisville! I found atleast 5 lists of "The best teams to not win a Championship", so i'm also not alone in this opinion, just google it! Real talk. You can have the last word cause i don't give a sh*t about the NBA now until the playoffs. IF you wanna go back and forth on College BBall we can do this if not peace
