Great dunk. I would also point out Clyde's quick first step going around MJ at the beginning of that clip. People have so mythologized MJ that today you'd think nobody ever went around him or beat him off the dribble. It's as if he absolutely shut down everybody who played against him on every play. Great players are never shut down, even by other great players.
Yeah, no dout MJ was a better SG than Clyde but contrary to the biased media hype in reality this series was Clyde vs. MJ AND Pippen. I'd like to see how MJ would've fared if he had to deal with Clyde and Pippen.
@FuShengAlex Umm MJ obviously outplayed Clyde or you are blind. And you make no sense contradicting yourself by admitting MJ was better than Clyde. For whatever reason you just don't like MJ. But you guys are a small majority. LOL The masses will always acknowledge that MJ is the greatest ever.
@FuShengAlex And another thing. If Portland had Jordan instead of Drexler Portland would have won at least 6-8 titles. Jordan could have easily lead that Portland team to multiple championships.
@badpdx MJ is the greatest player ever. LOL That's no myth. The only myths are the ones you wrote. 1: Nobody thinks or would think nobody ever went around MJ or beat MJ off the dribble. 2: No it's not as if MJ absolutely shut down everybody who played against him on every play. What are you talking about? 3: Nobody is stupid enough to think great players get shut down. You insulted the world. MJ is considered the greatest ever not superman, you all bent out of shape on your own MJ delusion.
@WildL23: I have two replies: 1. Yes, MJ is the greatest player of all time. I never said otherwise. He can be the greatest player of all time and still be overrated by some people who act as if nobody else during his era was any good; and 2. Sometimes the world deserves insulting.
@badpdx And if MJ is overrated it's only by a hair, who cares. At least it's MJ, he's not rated above anybody he should not be because there are none higher, lol. The thing that bothers me is when guys like Kobe are rated higher than other guys like MJ, Bird, Magic, Shaq when they should not be. But with MJ that's impossible because nobody is over him. But if MJ is overrated it's by a small margin, not the infinite margin you describe. The world is not stupid enough to think MJ was perfect lol.
@WildL23: I don't think you and I are disagreeing about anything.
However, I have run into people who seem to think MJ never missed a shot and shut down everyone he ever faced. I've actually seen people write that "MJ dominated Clyde every single time they played" which is simply not true. It's almost as bad as Kobe lovers who claim Bryant is better than MJ simply because he plays today and MJ played in the 80's. Of course, they're probably the reason some MJ fans are so fanatical.
@WildL23 MJ is not overrated dumbass because he has the record for the highest scoring avg in NBA History, the most scoring titles, the most NBA Finals MVPs, and he was on 9 all NBA defensive teams. Those are NBA records.
@WildL23: Ironically, after you and I had this exchange, this guy Domini478 posted on this very video that MJ always shut everybody down. He's who I'm talking about.
anyone who watched this finals series can see how often Jordan was made to look ordinary when going up against somene like drexler who had the offensive skills to attack him. yeah the Bulls won and Jordan probably got the better of Clyde, but still a rare sight to see Jordan out matched on so many occasions during this series. Problem was there wasnt enough players like Clyde during the Jordan era to stick it to him. btw MJ and Clyde were my heroes growing up.
@darockk MJ straight embarrassed Clyde in this series. He had avg 40+ in this series. No player had done that in NBA Finals History. Clyde is no where near MJ dumbass. Clyde never won a MVP or anything because he wasn't good enough!
@Domini478: In 1988 Clyde scored 42 points (along with 9 rebounds and 8 steals) against MJ. During the 1991 season, he shot 59% against Michael in two games, averaging 29.5 points, which was 8 above his average that year. In 1992, he averaged 32 ppg in the regular season against MJ, which was 7 ppg above his average that year.
if wasnt for players like drexler, mj wouldn't be called the best ever. those players made jordan motivated and hungrier

@chikilan11 Haul ass...Clyde didn't make MJ do nothing! Clyde was never on MJ's level. That is why he couldn't lead a team to the championship.

Even in the Finals, Clyde still averaged 25 ppg.
That's not what I would call shutting him down.
