You look at those old highlights, and DANG Clyde could get off the ground. I don't know what his official vertical was, but in games it looked like he had all the bounce.
BEST REBOUNDER IN HISTORY TOO. WADE IS BEST BLOCKER IN HISTORY. I DUINNO IF OSCAR IS COMBO SG CAUSE HE PLAYED MORE PG, SO I CANT COUNT HIM OR WESTBROOK.
Clyde Drexler one of the underrated guards that ever played in the NBA he took Portland Trail Blazer's to the championship twice and finally got him a championship in 95 with Hakeem Olajuwon...Clyde Drexler wasn't know scrub he's one of my favorite NBA players also Hall of Fame player and top 50 players ever
Clyde was like a combination of Earl the pearl Monroe and Dr J put together in a 6'7 " frame and he had a great court vision along with being a underrated passer finding open teammates in traffic. He was a dominant right hand player that could finish left off of either leg going to the basket as well
Clyde Drexler is my favorite player of all-time. The very first NBA game I watched was the San Antonio Spurs vs Portland Trailblazers in game 7 of the 1990 western conference semifinals. I've been hooked on the NBA ever since, and Portland was my favorite team from 1990 to 1992 before I became a Miami Heat fan the 1992-93 season.
Greatest dunk I saw him do was against Louisville in the tournament. He went up high and far away from the basket with one hand and finished on a double pump 2 handed jam. Amazing to this day.
He had similar numbers to jordan execpt in points and shot attempts. Clyde shot 16 times a game compared to jordans 40 times a game. Clyde is also the only guard in history to have over 2000 offensive rebounds
As a kid that grew up in Portland and still lives here today at the age of 40, Clyde was my first love! I always wondered as a kid all of 7 years old what Clyde and Jordan would’ve looked like on the same team. They’re the players of today, plus sized height and extremely athletic build. They would’ve been a nightmare. But I would have to say Drexler 22 was my fave Blazer and Brandon Roy #7 would be a close 2nd w/ Sheed30 or Lillard 0 rounding out the pack. I ❤️ PORTLAND
2nd best 2-guard of the 90’s. Clyde actually became historically underrated IMO because his prime ran smack dab in to Jordan’s. And because of what happened in the 92 finals, which I think has become overblown throughout the years. Clyde averaged just around 25,8 and 5 on 40% from the field and was a 4th quarter collapse from Portland taking Chicago to a 7th game in that series. What gets lost, is that Clyde actually won a title while still playing at a high level, on the 95 Rockets. To me, Clyde was in what may have always been his ideal role, as an outstanding #2 along side #1 Hakeem. Clyde should be getting AT LEAST the same amount of respect and admiration that Reggie Miller gets.
we should stop saying he is underrated all the time, Clyde was on the real dream team, he had a well deserved ring and was the second best player behing the goat in 1992. i love him, a true gentleman
Clyde was as athletic as Jordan. But he lacked that killer instinct or clutch shooting ability that Jordan and Kobe, Magic, Kareem(yeah, Kareem), West and Bird were
jordan and kobe shot 40 times a game compared to clydes 16. Clydre relied more on his teammates and drexler has more offensive rebounds as a guard thenanyone else in nba history over 2000 and nobody is even close
@@dysfunctional4912 clide was better than kobe then? What about Dwayne wade?? What about kawai???? Is clide better then lillard? What about penny hardway??? Ik theres some hybrid positions.. was clide better then paul peirce??? Jerry west??? You may wanna re consider the second best all time cuz i put Kobe there
People forget how good Clyde was at steals and passing.
Clyde "the glide" Drexler one of the greatest
Class act.. Athletic as hell.. Just plain funky.. Greatest Blazer of all time..🤙
My favourite player of all time.
Mine T00..
Same
YUPP 👑#1
Same here. I stopped watching NBA after he retired.
Was like a new age Dr J. He was a fine artist on the court
Clyde didn't get a lot of attention because he was not a loud, flashy, proud guy. He was very humble, team player, and quiet.
Clyde and Moses Malone most underrated Great players in NBA

He is the only guy in the 2000 steals club that never made the defensive team
A damn shame
mainly because he never Bitched like most in his era!!... you can go down the list of cry babies.... #1 cry babies MAGIC & JORDAN ..

One of the most entertaining players i've ever seen.

There's greats 23 , 24 , 33 etc. But the greatest 22 it's the Clyde. He seems as an unselfish, humble but a beast at the same time.

i remember during a game drexler caught an ally-oop lay up. but he got so high it could actually be a lay-down.
My favorite player growing up
He was great in the low post too! A true star

The Glide baby!

2 players with 22k pts, 6k rbs 6k asst 2k steals all time. 1 lebron guess who the other 1 is
He really glide the trailblazers and then later the rockets to victory during the champions.
The GREATEST Blazer...
great vid. one of my 3 favorite players of all time
Clyde the third Greatest Shooting guard of all time.
Drexler.....
And he had no eggo. That is why he is so smooth.
Put Clyde on those Chicago teams that won and Michael on those Portland teams that made it to the finals who wins more titles ?
Michael Jordan subliminal from the eddie guy
Clyde was as athletic as Jordan. But he lacked that killer instinct or clutch shooting ability that Jordan and Kobe, Magic, Kareem(yeah, Kareem), West and Bird were

Was not even better than kobe lettalone jordan laughable
Why is that laughable if those are two of the very best SG ever?!
He was the 2nd best SG behind MJ in the 1990's and perhaps of all time back then, so keep quiet.
@@dysfunctional4912 hes not top five all time quiet yer mouth
