3:11-3:49. No wonder so many boys wanted to be astronauts when they grew up.

@talkingwall: this is a great comment.

I guess I'm in the minority hear. I feel compelled to stop and listen to even the crappiest of street musicians because I just love music and appreciate the talent it takes to play it. That doesn't mean I would stop if I was running late, but I'd want to.

@PurplePlayer99: Yeah, Wade's speed is obviously impressive, and he's a better dribbler than Clyde was, so it's got to be close. Clyde seemed to cover more ground, though, once he got going. I remember Mike Fratello, during the 1992 All-Star game, talking about Clyde and asking "How many guys c...

That's one way to avoid being on a poster.

@HALJbroz: Good point. In my defense, though, I was only trying to show that Drexler was not, in fact, a snail compared to MJ. If anything, he was even faster.

@marzilyas: Apparently, if your first name ends in "eem" you are endowed with an unstoppable basketball shot.

A few observations:

1. This was a nice dunk. Might have been a charge, might have been a blocking foul, so a good no call.

2. Comments about how Americans are backwards and/or stupid are tiresome and uncool.

3. Comments about Larry Nance, Jr.'s skin color and generalizations about race are tir...

Other than Clyde Drexler, Lebron is probably the fastest open court player I've ever seen.

Once again, Drexler's footspeed on the break is incredible here.

Porter was kind of a non-factor in this game. In fact, he wasn't up to his usual high standard for much of the 1991 playoffs.

Drexler, on the other hand, positively takes over this game in the fourth.

Two areas in which Clyde Drexler never got enough credit: his play in big games and his passing. He very quietly took over this game in the third quarter.

"Well, you don't play 72 games a season and then the playoffs in college."

72 games? Yes, Marty Glickam, you do indeed go way back.

Now, somebody please answer the phone.

@Domini478: stop trolling Clyde Drexler videos. MJ doesn't need your help.

In 1985, Larry Bird called Michael Jordan the "best player I've ever seen."

Larry Bird never used a mirror.

You could put together a Top 10 buzzer beater list with Larry Bird. It just wouldn't be as pretty.

@MikeyboyMovies: It's an existential statement. "Django is my."

@barnesljeremy: Willie Nelson is not a great guitarist in the sense of being a great technician or somebody going to set the arena on fire with solo pyrotechnics. Rather, is a great guitarist because his unique combination of country swing, blues and Django Reinhardt gypsy jazz is immediately re...

I love Vince Carter, Dominique, Clyde Drexler and Dr. J. But this is my favorite dunk of all time.

@IsaIbn1: so does that mean Kobe is better than MJ? I think not.

@thebulletwithoutagun: I never said there was a debate. MJ is clearly better. All I'm saying is that in his prime Drexler held his own against MJ better than anyone else and better than most people think. I don't know why you have a problem with that, but clearly you feel the need to defend MJ...

The commentator on the last play: "Really not a smart play to shoot this ball, though. You've got a six point lead . . ." It's Clyde Drexler at the rim, and as you're talking about how stupid he was to take that shot, the replay is showing the ball going in and Drexler getting fouled. Shut the...

@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...

After the Spurs took a 7 point lead with two and-a-half-minutes left in regulation (1:15:10), Clyde Drexler quietly took over the game:

-Assist to Duckworth to cut the lead to 5.

-Rebounds Spurs missed shot.

-3 pointer with just under two minutes left to cut the lead to 2.

-Nice help defense o...

@waff1eirontmacsplat: I get most of these, but seriously: is blocking Oliver Miller really that impressive?

I got this video the week it came out in 1992. Great stuff.

Incidentally, when Clyde announced that he was going to compete on Dancing With The Stars, I remembered the ending of this video and knew he wasn't going to last long. LOL.

@conni70: I don't think we're disagreeing. Clyde usually went left, but he could certainly go right, and did more often than people think. For example:
