Clyde Drexler's Top 10 Career Dunks

[Haolehero]

RIP CITY!!!!

[KEVIN31881]

the first dunk was insane

[KEVIN31881]

OMG did you see the dunk NO. 8 the guy defending drexler is very tall

[buttikoff]

Quem o viu sabe o que ele valia. Obrigado por tudo o que deste a esta modalidade.

[LOCOFASHOBRA]

Did anyone notice the dudes youtube name

[allytron]

@LOCOFASHOBRA nice spot mate.

[jynupe]

For me...his best dunk was made in college against Memphis State when he jumped over Andre Turner...EPIC!

[TallSomeone]

Clyde's special dunk talent was in reaching well. If you watch all the best dunk highlights, like Dominique, Michael and Shaw Kemp, you can notice that they all got eye-level with the rim. That's about a 3-`1/2 foot jump (42 inches) for a 6'6" guy, and not in a contrived "combine" setting -- but in real action. Clyde just didn't have a consistent 40" thing going. He had, in my estimation, a 32" thing going -- about 8" less than the super-leapers. BUT, he learned to throw it out and down.

[badpdx]

@TallSomeone: I don't know that any of those guys consistently got "eye-level" with the rim, but they were consistently up in the 37-40 inch range on their dunks, while Clyde was not. However, Clyde was capable of getting up there when he wanted to: check out his dunk over Andre Turner, his alley-oop dunk in the second quarter against LA in the 1992 playoffs (which might be hard to find now that Patvilhauer's account is gone) and his dunk over Isiah Thomas in Game 2 of the 90 Finals.

[badpdx]

I suppose I should have said his alley oop dunk from Jerome Kersey in Game 4 of the first round against the Lakers in 1992. It's hard to find.  The Andre Turner dunk is not.

[allytron]

This won't go down well but I think Drexler was overrated as a dunker.

[badpdx]

@allytron: These aren't actually his best dunks. This is just a list the NBA put together. Probably only about three or four of these dunks belong in his Top 10. Check out (if you can find them) his alley oop dunk from Jerome Kersey in Game 4 against LA in 1992; his hand switching dunk against Louisville in the NCAA tournament in 1983; his dunk over Chris Dudley when he played for the Rockets, and the Andre Turner dunk.

[allytron]

@badpdx cheers, will take a look for those. i also just meant his general famed "glide" style - it's a bit boring. he always seems to have his arm up straight.

[badpdx]

@allytron: Clyde was not a showboat dunker by any stretch. That's why he always lost the slam dunk contest. His philosophy was to get the ball in the basket as efficiently as possible: taking off 10-12 feet away and holding the ball up high made it less likely anyone would block the shot. His best dunks came when something or someone interrupted this technique and he was forced to improvise. Left alone in a gym he was not spectacular.

[allytron]

@badpdx Fair points. As an overall player Drexler is quite possibly underrated when it comes to "greatest of all time" discussions and lists.

[KEVIN31881]

drexler ones

[KEVIN31881]

shut up all dunks are hard to do

[rattlehead54321]

Swagger

[InfraaVerdaggens]

Drexler was a Saint.

[danimal3d]

On number 7 his windmill sucked

[XxL8gameLamb0xX]

sounds like nba street music

[KSXII]

last dunk is iconic!

[Ak47mige]

number 2 was nasty

[Sal30]

His best dunk was actually in college and it was even better than that freethrow line dunk.

[MrYourdaddyishere]

a special end to the video for a very special player.thumbs up for it.

[Loudmouf84]

absolutely amazing

[tommypickles7]

and he was even better in college

[StellarlyAstral]

That's why they called him 'The Glide'

[IOWNYOURTURFNOW95]

number 1 was unreal if only u ad it in better quality

[TheNimasreb]

the number one dunk is a top five dunks of all time.

[Drexlerable]

Woo, we both have the same name :DD

[aduran91017]

Clyde "The Glide" Drexler!!!!!!!!!

[Habeev07]

Refering to position. They were the 2 best SG's in the league most their careers. Blazers made playoffs every year with Clyde and pretty much ruled as best team in the West 90-92'.

[Habeev07]

Wow that dunk at 0:21.  Whoa dont even try lambeer. Catches his dunk and spikes it! Dickie V is like "give Drexler the rock".

[ratsplayingbasketbal]

number 1 is clyde drexler. That was his dunk to perfection.

[wianian]

Awesome Dunks ! I loved the floater against the lakers for # 1 , and i loved the facial on the ADMIRAL ! However, his facial on Isaiah Thomas is definitely in his top 10 IMO !

[blachloch1]

How amusing you kiddies are. I love Clyde for sure, but neither he nor Michael compared to Dr J in his prime. Wilens was viciuos but Erving was the epitomy of smooth.

[TooT1424]

how da fuq can u dislike dis

[Habeev07]

1:11 is proof Clyde was second to Micheal only. THE NBA WAS DREXLER VS JORDAN IN THE 80'S AND 90'S. KOBE AND WADE WAGE THAT WAR TODAY 

[PatrickEganLong]

@Habeev07

Dude, no. In the 80s it was Bird v. Magic in the 90s it was Jordan v. Everyone. Clyde was one of the greatest but so were Karl Malone, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp and they all bowed to His Airness in the Finals.

[TheTdbj]

only other 2 athletes who can dunk like this mj and dominuque wilkins, idk y ppl nowadayas dont notice clyde and dominque dunking abilities -____-

[nystagmus]

silky smoothe

[uasher16]

1:19 "there are only 2 or 3 athletes in the NBA that could make that play, one of them is Clyde Drexler.." the other 2 were Jordan and Dominque Wilkins :))

[uasher16]

during the 80's era Clyde the Glyde was the Western Conference's Answer to Michael Jordan

[boredfun91]

It's a shame that this guy had to play during the Jordan era. He was the 2nd best SG in the league for pretty much his whole career.

[Koolazzmike]

@boredfun91 You're right! There is a big difference between #1 and #2. But if he has to be #2 behind Jordan, that is saying a helluva whole lot!

[Tohkeeoh7]

Those were the days when people could celebrate after a dunk with a fist pump or something and not get called for a T. Much better than now.

[TheNimasreb]

the best two guard in his era not name michael jordan. a pity since he played against the shadow of the goat.

[DJRckwl]

At the end of your video I first thought "Awwww, it got cut off!"

But just 2 seconds later I realized how nice an effect it really was.

It's like he's in suspended animation. He'll always be gliding.

Nice.

[BlazeofFire95]

2 people are jealous Laker fans.

[modblogger1]

amazing from an nba player that could not even dribble with his left hand.

[YourRump]

I remember seeing a crazy alleyoop from Terry Porter, where he catches it with one hand, brings it back and dunks with two. Where's that one?

[Iannes33]

What he did to David Robinson was morally wrong.

[DjGoGo09]

im glad they have his dunk in nba 2k11, hope they add more to nba 2k12.

[BIGPHILL]

one of my fav players of all time

[euchreman]

I miss those days! I used to love watching the NBA.

[Sal30]

That freethrow line dunk in game action was really impressive, but Drexler was even more athletic in college and had dunks that were out of this world.

[paradimitris]

I think the NBA logo should change. Just pause at 2:05 mr Stern

[itowedin]

Who just dunks from the free throw line, on the road, against the showtime Lakers?

[JJNZ]

@itowedin only Clide the glide... amazing isnt it?

[tfingrid1]

last one , awesome

[travis264]

#22, #23, #24 3 best SGs of all.time :)

[KeVRocK668]

alot of people play nba 2k11 and go to edit player and see shannon brown and clyde have the same dunk packs and make comparrisons so people think they know basketball <little known fact

[Zayizwizdom]

aLOTof shannon browns dunk are based off of CD22 <little known fact

[ezrhino100]

the NBA needs a smooth operator like clyde the glide, a kind of billie dee williams of the dunk, if you will.

[imtheish2fly]

Did any one else see him fly toward the end????

[boland488]

1:52-1:56 porno

[maximusmagnanimus100]

Clyde Austin "Clyde The Glide" Drexler (born June 22, 1962) is a former National Basketball Association shooting guard and small forward. A ten-time All-Star and member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, the NBA named him one of basketball's fifty greatest players as of 1996. Drexler won an Olympic gold medal in 1992 and an NBA championship in 1995 with the Houston Rockets. He is currently the color commentator for Rockets home games.

[TheSamps0n]

he even dunked on Manute Bol :/

[pioczyq1]

2 osoby oglądały ten filmik z wyłączonym monitorem.

[rascusmonkey]

why cant people dunk like this anymore?

[TheWaveFoundation]

Clyde my man!

[jp801snow]

2 people wish they can dunk like that

[joshh59]

clyde the glide drexler

[jeanrollan]

One of my favorite all time players!

[starkyflip174]

#1..the take off and then the hangtime..shiiiit

[blackmanwhitesuit]

nba 2k producers should look at these type of videos to design dunk packages

[Dreamewalker]

The thing I love about class acts like Clyde is that he doesn't need to act like a dumb fuck and show off after every dunk. I'm lookin at Lebron lookin like a fuckin gorilla after every dunk. It's just 2 points you douche. Get back down and play defense.

[dimaggio1324yeah]

@Dreamewalker LOL right?

I hate that shit, EVERY DUNK.. Here goes this fool with his mouth wide open..

Lol he did taht shit yesterday against Dallas and got smashed on..

Hes cocky, a little TOO cocky. Not even MJ was that sure of himself,He mightve made a smirk or looked at you funny or smiled.. NOT OH SHIT I JUST DUNKED ON SOME WHITE DUDE IMA BEAST BLEHHH"

Him & Bosh kill me with that shit..

I'll be glad when they lose..

That way they can open their mouths all they want on the plane.

[guitarsANDcars39]

phi slamma jamma baby!!

[sakura4994]

Clyde "The Glide" Drexler. One of the few dunkers in the game that's worth mentioning. "Air" Joran, "Human Highlight Machine" Wilkins, "Sky" Walker, Dr. J, and VinceSanity- they are in a class of their own.

Blake Griffin may very well join this group soon or later.

[CelphProclaimed]

@sakura4994 You forgot "The Reign Man" Shawn Kemp

[sakura4994]

@CelphProclaimed

Word, you got me there.

[kevinseveneleven]

WOW HE GAVE THE ADMIRAL BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER ALL IN ONE

[itskaden]

1:12 did he say "Tickle my butt hair" ?

[SgtPwnzor1]

@itskaden Picked off by Drexler

[MrTheBeast]

that last dunk is just pure epicness that dunk is one of the greatest

[MrSlik25]

Its a tie for best in game dunker of all time...Dominique Wilkins and Clyde Drexler...Fuck it i gotta put Mike in there too...three way tie...some will say add Vince.

[shastabolicious8]

@MrSlik25 add vince ;)

[MrSlik25]

@shastabolicious8 Ok he's added...but go back and watch number 3 and 2 in this countdown and look at what he really does..i mean i've seen alot of ferociousness from Vince...The dunk on Mutumbo..the one on Mourning..but they just didnt seem like those two to me...i'll let you tell it.

[MrSlik25]

@shastabolicious8 But did Clyde take three steps on that last dunk there...or is it me?

[jsparx1]

@MrSlik25 add Shawn Kemp

[MrOsudude2]

i wish the blazers were good again



[jkweezy12]

dang these guys have mad long legs

[Player3757]

@jkweezy12 Dem lil ass shorts made it seem like that

[flowerchild145]

You can win a spot on Clyde Drexler's basketball clinic (deadline is March 30). Link: (j.mp/DrexlerClinic)

[cpsw298]

The best dunker of all time and yes better than Jordan and yes better hang time than Jordan

[Domini478]

@cpsw298 shittin me.

[TheEaglesfanindc]

dickie v used to call nba games too ?

[foxman4455]

@0:18 look where drexler foot were...

[lilg483]

well he went jordan on der asses fo da last dunk

[twoxcents]

I miss the finess the 80's and 90's players had. I just dont see these types of dunks in todays game. Everything they do nowadays just has no fluidity and mostly simple power dunks.

[celibuko]

I love the way he holds the ball.

[Sal30]

The freethrow line dunk in game action is very rare. I think only Drexler, Igadaua and Lebron James have done it.

[dbrooks22]

oU-vSeXskRY is a much better compilation video

[hooperX101]

even after seeing this a few years back...that dunk against LA is ridiculous

[happynightz]

He has major hangtime.

[GetHighOrDie08]

@happynightz HAD major hangtime..

[Aznpnoykid]

clyde is one of the few people in the 80s - 90s that was giving Jordan a challenge

[tc2487]

last dunk is iconic!

[Marin4Lyfe]

clyde the glide what what

[Kdaddy61987]

number 2 is my favorite to watch over and over. Number 1 was the best when actually watching the game but when you think about 2 you ever wonder what the other guy is thinking? Like he sees clyde get the ball, do you think he was thinking "get out the way get out the way"

[Flowerofchaos]

@Kdaddy61987 exactly... i can watch number 2, 10 times in a row... each time i pay attention to different things, the reaction of the bench, the reaction of his two teammates etc... every time i watch this vid..

[ddean1987]

His windmill is the closest thing to actually resembling a real windmill.

[7Beyonder]

one of the most underated dunkers, and players in the history of the game

[modem22]

such a unique player

[ipapi23]

@kdsd86 hell yeah right? datt wudda been a mean technical lol damn... but dat nigga finished off illy tho for the last dunk, jeez

[TheNBAFan41]

#1 the best ive seen in a long time

[KDSD86]

:26 would totally be a technical in todays game haha

[ewalker1981]

I love that guy.

[aboverim]

Nice ending, fit for the Glide.

[batwat]

dunk master

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

best dunker in the West Conf. much better than Kobe.

[edtam6]

I remember Clyde Drexler dunking over Isaiah Thomas.

[despairasite]

#1--HOLY SHIT!!

[54spiritedwill54]

You have some awesome videos!

[SpockIsAPimp]

#'s 4,3,2 & 1 lol @ he abused the Spurs

[WadeWinstonWilson]

ahaha yeah

[khainz]

At 7...Gerald Green should learn something...maaan, did you hear that sound??? baaaang!!! This guy rocks once...

[YungKay]

clyde and jordan where great leapers but i mean these guys where 6'7 and 6'6 .. look at the allen iverson of early on 6'0 and monte ellis 6'3 nate robinson 5'8 spud webb 5'7 they where leapers as well the most impressive dunk would have to be number 1 .. he took off from damn near the free throw line in a game .. AMAZINGGGGGGG

[kingDMART08]

one of da greatest of all time Clyde The Glide his hang time is sick

[harobmxer87]

dude how tall was that guy he dunked over on #8?! freaking awesome

[tmacroks1]

He was 7-7 1/2 or 7-8

[MfBronz]

clyde wasnt flashy and thats what i loved about him!!!

[budahgee3]

The king, and a class act all the way around. I am from Portland and growing up this guy was like a GOD. The early 90's Blazers were raw, they could still match up with teams today.

[lilHippo]

wow that last one made me say wtf

[briannakk]

A poor man's MJ...not only a great dunker but good at just about everything!!

[budahgee3]

What kind of fucking comment is that??? Fuck you, you're a poor mans AIDS victim you mother fucker. Screw your god damn head on straight. Drexler was a class act, Jordan was and still is, a cigar smoking, gambling addict shit talking nig compaired to Clyde. I hope you get cancer you fucking hump!!!

[mellowsl]

take a look at urself - ur gettin fired up over a youtube comment - now go out there and get laid!

[budahgee3]

Go get raped, Clyde rules. You're probably a John Stockton fan. Homo.

[Danktackular]

LOL

[Elias69noreno]

LMAO!!!! hahaha fuck john stockton ahahahha

this made me pee my pants lmao

[fuzzfoot]

You have some awesome videos!

[bardzobladadupa]

it is really possible :)

"wielki" zawodnik... :)

[drunken32]

I have heard that the #1 dunk on that vid was the longest dunk anyone has ever done in-game. Drexler is a god, and one of the last to have that sick old-school style.
