lol that's funny. Clyde's class and professionalism were up there with his play as some of his best attributes. Call him a nerd if you want, but he wasnt a race bating communist thug
@@melvinhhcp3615 Drexler was a pretty good defender too though, he's pretty high on the list for both the regular season and playoffs as far as steals.
@@lchris6997 I don't doubt that at all about Drexler, but I think Wade is statistically said to be the greatest SG in nba history... according to his combined defensive stats, steals, blocks, defensive win shares or whatever. But to be fair, I don't think the margin is that wide between him & Wade defensively. I would have to check again... Wade, Drexler, MJ, Kobe, and Jerry West are the 5 greatest defensive 2 guards overall though. I'm fairly certain of this.
Drexler was that good that he was even compared with MJ during that era. Not saying that he was better but his name was on the table for sure as a great competitor of MJ
Clyde was great and thank God he played the same position as MJ, otherwise, the Bulls not have been able to draft him (it wasn’t just because the Blazers needed a center). I was at Game 1 and Game 6 in 1992 and that comeback by the Bulls was something else. I also left too early after the win as teams did not come back out on the floor until that year. I was worried about traffic (the neighborhood was not great) so I bailed about one minute or less before the team came back out. 😢
So strange that they never celebrated on the floor before. I always find it weird that in America the players don't really acknowledge the fans after the game. They just go to the locker room quickly.
Clyde talks about Rudy T and they show a clip of Mike Dunleavy. You know, this show is sooo bad. If you stand outside at a bus stop you're reaching more people than this silly channel is
The REASON Penny and Shaq didnt become a Dynasty is 100% on the Orlando Ownership for Not wanting ro pay Shaq and playing hardball during his Free Agency and even letting him hit free agency.
And Shaq has said numerous times that at the time his relationship with Penny wasn't great either because of their egos. Even if Shaq got his money it still might not have worked.
And that's coming from someone who watched it all unfold. He wanted fame and to be worshiped, mega rich, etc. Flat out said as much. Ironic thing is, as soon as he went to LA, the internet pops off, and he would have eventually done the same in ORL if he had just WON.
@@TheEsquireOfSportsFSU not according to him and his agent. Orlando tried to play hardball with him and never tried to sign him to an extension b4 he hit free agency.
Can the betting agencies stay out of content creation and just tell us to give them our money? It is so much simpler and avoids these sorts of issues (2:46).
Shaq didn’t get along with Penny. Shaq didn’t get along with Kobe. Shaq is the most dominant player I’ve ever seen by far. But if he wasn’t so egotistical when he was younger he could have 2-3 more rings and be in the GOAT conversation. On another note, Clyde in his prime was the closest thing to Jordan in their era. Frfr Clyde could do it all. Glide, shoot, dunk, and defend. Glad the Phi Slamma Jamma could reunite and get a ring.
0 hate against Clyde... but we New Orleanians need to stop claiming him as our own. He was born and Raised (until high school) in N.O. but he doesn't claim it as his home town.
The Magic was maybe even more talented than the Rockets but they were young, immature, couldn't recover from the lost, not tough mentally. If they had a few more years, maybe trade Nick Anderson for another reliable 2 way wing, they would've dominated the East after MJ retired again.
This is man AIN’T UNDERATED . CLYDE is the BEST shooting guard since MJ . Only KOBE who had to learn from MJ could claim that spot & that’s not a bad thing . MJ & CLYDE both learnt from DR J .
@@baselineleaner1064 Indeed it was, 50 years ago when it happened; and 30 years ago when The Rockets got the sweetest championship known to man. I'd hope by now positive history could burry one unfortunate perfectly landed right haymaker.
@@baselineleaner1064 Rudy didn't deserve a totally intentional non basketball play. It definitely got the ball rolling to ruin basketball via the overabundant flagrant.
Yes, Shaq ruined potentially building a new dynasty by being immature and selfish. I wouldn’t retire his number in Orlando either. He never kept his word. He threatened to leave at the first opportunity if they didn’t draft Penny like he wanted. Still ran out after agreeing to contract terms but backed out when Zo signed for more. SMH.
Shaq was a 3rd year player at only 22 years old a nothing to peak 2000 Shaq and Penny was a 2nd year player at only 23. Nick Anderson is a disgrace how he costed the Magic game 1. Orlando up by 3 with 11 secs to go Nick misses both foul shots gets his own rebound and fouled again. With 9 secs to go up 3 Nick misses another 2 foul shots I never saw anything like it. Kenny the Jet comes down and ties it with a 3 and the rest was history
95 was Shaq's 2nd highest postseason TS% overall while 96 (also Magic era) was his 3rd highest 🙄. How about just admitting the real reason the Rockets won, they were a more versatile team compared to the Magic. Shaq only played 1 style of offense which was post up and take a shot when he got in the paint area, all the Rockets had to do most of the game was double team him and make him give it up. Horry also won the PF matchup outscoring Grant by a sizable margin, you always overlook that one.
@ Shaq avg 15 shots in 1995 playoffs he was a bum 😂😂 Orlando Magic was a bum peak Shaq he left by 23 nothing but a bum!! Shaq in 2000 was 1 vote from unanimous MVP, 2nd in DPOY, scoring champ, 2nd in rebounds, 3rd in blocks, all star MVP and FMVP. Avg in regular season 30-14-4-3, playoffs avi 31-16-3-3 and 38-17-3-3 in the finals. Shaq forced the league in 2002 to bring back zone defense and implement Def 3secs all to slow down the big fella. He changed the game! If you aren’t talking that Shaq I don’t care about nothing ur talking about
@ Hakeem was a bum in the 80’s struggling with Vlade in 1990 and 1991 playoffs like a bum. He got into his peak from 1992-96. Shaq was a bum in the 90’s he got into his peak early 2000’s that’s how it works. LeBron was 22 going to the finals that means nothing his peak was in the 2010’s and so and so forth
@ Let’s just be honest Hakeem claim to fame was beating a 3rd year kid in Shaq in the 1995 finals. He was 22 vs peak Hakeem game 1: Shaq avg 26-16-9-3 on 63% Game 1: Hakeem avg 31-6-7-2-4 on 50% Game 2: Shaq avg 33-12-7 on 55% Game 2: Hakeem avg 34-11-2-4 on a lousy 46% Game 3: Shaq 28-10-6-1-3 on 65% Game 3: 31-14-7-2 on a lousy 46%. Game 4: Magic we’re already on vacation so Hakeem wins that game. That’s what separate the stats some between them. For the series each avg 43mins a game with Shaq being doubled 78% of the series and Hakeem being doubled 68% of the time. Now let me drop peak 2000 Shaq into that finals. Rockets we’re nothing you played bum kids who cares
i grew up watching this plumber era. clyde wilt jordan iverson kobe all this 90s players couldnt survive in todays game. if king james and bronny play in the 90s, they easily get 15 or 16 rings, straight.
Today's plumbers are globetrotters in the NBA. Can travel and carry the ball without the ref calling it. They are mentally weak and cannot sustain a winning. Diddy's LeMaid can have 15 or 16 straight Diddy's party and fans still admire them.

came here looking for your comment.
One of the most underrated players in nba history.
How’s he underrated? Hall of famer, top 75 player.
There is no way he is underrated. Top 50 and HOF and Dream Team
Overrated if anything. I liked Terry Porter better on that Portland team
Underrated by young knuckleheads that weren't alive to see him play maybe. Us oldheads _know_ Glide was a beast.
@@big_b7362 Dominique Wilkins was underrated. He didn’t make the top 50 while average 25 and 7 boards.

Salute to Clyde the Clyde.A real Houston Texas south side legend
Clyde was incredible. He was not on Jordan's level. Bur Clyde was one of the all time greats.
If he had a Pippen and Phill, He would be the same level
He was on the same level. They both played in 1992 Dream Team. They both have a ring. They're both All-Stars. Stop the MJ glaze
That's how good Jordan was beat Portland in 6 and that Portland team was very good

It's always fun to play against the Porter, Drexler, Duckworth, Kersey, and Robinson Blazers on the 2K games.
Clyde carried the Portland fans, it was never the same without him in town.
