Bruh it's because of Clyde is became a bulls fan. Mjs style is similar to Clyde. I remember Pippen had to be the one to guard Clyde but Clyde would guard Jordan. He made Michael work whenever they play and many time it wasn't enough. Hence why Scotty had to take over on the D. Mike would hurt him with the offence
He really is shit broken he can shoot,dribble,drive and get a good lay through contact,dunk I’m pretty much everybody, all around he just op but a fun player to use
The Drexler-Porter-Kersey-Williams teams were an incredible time to be a Blazers fan. If they had been able to utilize Sabonis at center during those years, they’d have been legendary. Great, great memories regardless.
I agree . That team was no joke . If they would’ve gotten Sabonis in 89 or 90 , maybe they beat the bulls or Pistons and get pass the Lakers in 91. They gave the bulls all they could handle in 92. If it weren’t for that amazing in game 6 in 4 th quarter . There would’ve been a game 7 . Bulls would’ve been in trouble. Drexler was one of the few guys that could go toe to toe with Jordan . That team along with Utah really scared me as a bulls fan .
Oh what could have been… there is footage of Sabonis wearing this era blazer jersey when he was allowed to come to Portland to rehab an injury, but not to play… it was so close, he was in the building wearing a blazers jersey in 89-90, or close to then.
That reverse dunk at 3:33 is one of the best in game dunks ever. I don’t understand how this footage is not shown or talked about much. This fool did a reverse dunk on a big man! Name one player you saw dunk on a center or even any player with their back facing the defender. Unbelievable
that shi- looked incredible, i don't think we've ever seen an in game dunk like this ever in modern bball. why don't people have this dunk in their top 20 dunks of all time?
Rockets passed on him despite him being in their own back yard with the Houston Cougars and drafted Rodney McCray. Imagine if the Dream & Drexler show had played out over their entire career. They played together in college so they knew each other quite well. Maybe the Bulls and others would have less titles.
@@dannelson99 True... It's mine boggling, Hou could have had both Hakeem and Jordan and the glide also. At the time they had no idea Sampson knees was going to fizzle out derailing his career.
One of the greatest players in the NBA and the best player to ever play for the Blazers and you don't even have him on your official RUclips channel Banner! What the hell is up with that?
Love that every highlight shows his various moves and impact on the game. Love that it's Blazer heritage, history, legacy etc. Love that it cements Mr. Clydes NBA legend pre championship ring status, just love this video. That buzzer beater is almost kinda his goodbye to Portland, the look on his face, the team's reaction , you know he planned that bank all the way to the net with a precision no less than the end result of the game.. Great memories.
Clyde the glide was a bad man! By far one of my fav basketball players! He gets the jordan comparison alot but his gameplay was unique. I was a drexler fan back in the day. One of the greats
Okay so a few things. What all time favorite basketball player was Michael jordan. That being so, I love watching Clyde the glide drexler score on him. I'm not knocking talent today, but some of the best sports basketball and football came out of the '80s and 90s. I could sit here and watch old basketball and football games all day long.
For the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world...gliding through the NBAs skies, here we have.... Clyde The Glyyyyyyyde DREXLERRRRRR ! Let's get ready to rumbleeeeee ! (with the voice of Michael Buffer). What a Legend.
As an elementary school student at the time of the 1995 NBA Finals, I was able to watch it for a while at a friend's house on the AFKN channel, the only channel in Korea where you can watch the live broadcast. As a Chicago Bulls fan, I didn't care which team won, but Olajuwon, Shark, Penny, Drexler, and Robert Orri's 3-point shot. It was impressive^^
First play of the video he barely had to run to dunk that that’s how nice this man is I never saw anything like that at Sf barley running to the paint & dunk it like he was running toward the paint
Man... what a powerhouse of a player. Based on natural ability, this guy had it all. I think obviously his weak hand was kinda poor, always going right, but put Drex into modern development systems...oof..he'd be a monster.
Take a look at Connie Hawkins, the guy who Dr. J said that if there hadn't been a Connie Hawkins, there would not be a Dr.J. Look what The Hawk does from 3:30 with the ball. Unbelievable hands.😳😵💫 ruclips.net/video/gl9Fo2GCcHQ/видео.html
Most serious basketball fans have heard of Drexler but relatively few (especially younger fans) know just how good he was. If he hadn't played in the Jordan era he would be looked back on as one of the all-time great shooting guards. Criminally underrated.
Most people have him behind Jordan, Kobe, Wade....He's either 4th or 5th behind Iverson or West depending on who you ask. But he's definitely in everyone's top 10 SGs.
I started watching basketball because my pops and his boys were basketball fanatics since the late 60s. They were establishing the amateur basketball association in my Caribbean island in the mid to late 80s and were using the NBA rules and model. Naturally I took an interest so from then I loved watching the greats play, but I never really had a favorite player. I just knew I loved the Celtics. Then came Clyde. His smooth style of play and handle was different from most. He was my dude for a good minute even if his team never won a championship. I loved that they still tried their hardest and never backed down. He is the reason why I loved Michael Jordan as soon as I first saw them play against each other. I was like what? Still dude smoother than Clyde?? Shortly after the bulls started being too contenders. Big up Clyde the Glide. He got that name for a mf reason!
Amazing player, refined skills, but what I remember the most from watching him play is how brutal he was on the dunks. He would just fly over the other guys like they were nothing. True legend
At the time they wanted an off court personality also. Remember the other top names in sports around the time? Bo Jackson, Dione Sanders, Andre Agassi. They had edge. Clydes personality off court was like someone's dad, as good as he was.
Clyde was my favorite player who wasn't a Phoenix Suns player. I could have named my first dog Sir Charles but I went with Clyde the Glide in honor of that bad man lol
Imagine if he played with prime Sabonis. Maybe we would've seen a team rivalry between the Bulls and Blazers in the same breadth as the Lakers and Celtics.
0:47 🔥 One handed palming it in Jordan's face! He set him up for the okie doke like Apolo Creed winding up in Rocky 2! Even drew the foul-nasty!! Watch his legs kick out while he's in the air for that extra hang-time WOW
I'm a Celtics fan thru and thru, but Clyde was really nice from the mid 80s thru mid 90s, and I think people don't realize how good those Trail blazers teams were. He could palm the ball and leap like Jordan, and was so smooth. He didn't have the post game and the mid-range, or turn-around fade away like MJ. He didn't have those lethal go to moves, but I still put him in my Top 5 SG's of all-time (Jordan, Jerry West at PG or SG since he played both, Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson PG/SG, and Clyde Drexler). John Havlicek and D. Wade are right in that mix too, but I think John is more of a SF.
He still has the coolest name in NBA history
진짜로. Agreed 100%
I love him just bcs of that
and lebron james
But not the coldest. George "IceMan" Gervin.
It got a hero's alter ego sound 😂
Clyde proved that Michael Jordan wasn’t the only one who could fly.
Jordan could not hold clyde

MJ was a marketing gimmick, Clyde Drexler was a real player.
Big facts
And also not the only one who could palm the ball
@@JonBernard41 bro what? Mj ain’t a real player? He literally better than Drexler wtf are y’all talking about 😂😂😂😂
As a lifetime Bulls fan and MJ fan I give Clyde the ultimate respect. A true professional and gentleman. Always enjoyed watching him play.

Now sucks...a 3 point show....those was the days..
As a 43 yr old, I truly remember and miss these days.Clyde,Duckworth,Buck Williams, Kersey, Cliff Robinson,T.Porter against my bulls.Legendary
These highlights made me tear up...what an incredible player.
so effortless and elegant but powerful at the same time
i can see why some compared him to jordan back in the day.

There is still never been seen dunks i think.
My God I can’t count how many people I saw this man Posterize over the years. The body count was unreal.
That dunk over Isiah was pretty SWEET!
I’ve been waiting for this for forever!!
Need ainge ones

In the 1984 draft Portland offered Houston. Clyde and the #2 pick for Ralph Sampson . Houston could of had Hakeem / Clyde and Michael Jordan
@@dannelson99 True... It's mine boggling, Hou could have had both Hakeem and Jordan and the glide also. At the time they had no idea Sampson knees was going to fizzle out derailing his career.
They would have had to get through Stockton and Malone first.

I never has the privlage to watch him live but he is one of the most skilled finishers in NBA history
He was incredible.
drexler is an all around player, offensive and defensive.. 💪😎
The greatest player to play for the blazers. A hall of famer for the blazers.

I remember watching Drexler , he is a VERY SKILLED player, unfortunately Jordan and the Bulls were around
What that supposed to mean
@@tayofficial2079 it means if jordan wasnt around in his era he would've won more rings
They're lucky Harden wasn't around.
@@mastyer0fReality yeahh..... right

You know what it is when he called by jordan a threat.

1:06 man Clyde schooled MJ hard lmao
Let’s be honest. Offensively, Clyde had a Jordan-type finess
not surprised jordan took that "personally".
well... we all know how the series ended ;)
DREX put him in foul trouble!!... 😂😂😂
Who won that series?
As an elementary school student at the time of the 1995 NBA Finals, I was able to watch it for a while at a friend's house on the AFKN channel, the only channel in Korea where you can watch the live broadcast.

Best player to ever dribble with his head down.
he really didn’t dribble with his head down at all
😂 that ball touched his left hand 2 times this whole video 💀
@@mikedison7081 nope
Drexler is top 5 in my list. What an amazing player he was.
kinda silly saying it’s clyde’s best blazers highlights when the first half is from only one series against the bulls lmao
Like Terry porter said we going to the crib and we ain't coming back made that much sense I agree
drexler was more than a half of highlights a hella of a sg. one I would love to have on my team
He is taking a dump on MJs chest.
First play of the video he barely had to run to dunk that that’s how nice this man is I never saw anything like that at Sf barley running to the paint & dunk it like he was running toward the paint
The best blazer ever
Probably. Dame?

3:33 was one of his best game dunks ever!
I played against Rod Strickland and Clyde Dre xler once in a tournament in NYC. We lost and we had Jason Williams on our team from St. Johns
2:19 😮😮 that dunk Jesus 🔥💪
Man... what a powerhouse of a player. Based on natural ability, this guy had it all. I think obviously his weak hand was kinda poor, always going right, but put Drex into modern development systems...oof..he'd be a monster.
The way he dunks with so much power 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those Blazer teams of the late 80's and early 90's were so exciting. Every game was a "must see" game.
0:58 See how Clyde palms the ball and moves it around like it's a grapefruit. Dr. J was the first player I ever saw do that.
Take a look at Connie Hawkins, the guy who Dr. J said that if there hadn't been a Connie Hawkins, there would not be a Dr.J. Look what The Hawk does from 3:30 with the ball. Unbelievable hands.😳😵💫

Wonderful player,inimitable for elegance and velocity ,very gentlman my prefered player all time
Happy 60th birthday, Clyde! Go, Blazers! :)
Jordan will be 60 in January of 2023
1:59 Omggggggggggggggg the steal on Jordan
Ahhh when the best players would always guard each other
Clyde the glide baby
If mj doesnt exist clyde is the best sg at early 90s

A long time Jazz fan here. Clyde would definitely be one of my favorite 5.
Clyde "the glide" Drexler was a beast. As a kid, I used to say he looked like Apollo Creed 😂😂😂
The Announcer: "Thats not Porter its Drexler!"
A sudden realization after the player in question had his entire forearm above the rim. 😂
And people say that Michael didn't have any competition. Drexler was taking it to him.

He was overshadowed by Michael Jordan

Drexler from the past
Carmelo from the middle
Jamal from now
What a charismatics players
Clyde Drexler is an another basketball genius for sure!
Amazing player, refined skills, but what I remember the most from watching him play is how brutal he was on the dunks. He would just fly over the other guys like they were nothing. True legend
I’ll be rocking his jersey this Sat for my next video! Watch for it this Saturday evening ❤️🖤
What a joy to watch him play
Man, I enjoyed watching Glide do his thing in the early 80s, smooth operator..
One of my favorite NBA players of all time
If only social media was around this guy would be a legend!
Lol buncha dudes doin what he did today
Here after Jordan said Cylde was just as good as him but wasn't marketable 🤣
At the time they wanted an off court personality also. Remember the other top names in sports around the time? Bo Jackson, Dione Sanders, Andre Agassi. They had edge. Clydes personality off court was like someone's dad, as good as he was.

That man could GLIIIIDE no doubt.
I wanted to see more of his defense and playmaking ...

My all time favorite player
Clyde was my favorite player who wasn't a Phoenix Suns player. I could have named my first dog Sir Charles but I went with Clyde the Glide in honor of that bad man lol
I think that dunk on Cartwright might be the most underrated dunk on somebody of all time
89 baby here. i remember ole clyde the glide drexler
Imagine if he played with prime Sabonis. Maybe we would've seen a team rivalry between the Bulls and Blazers in the same breadth as the Lakers and Celtics.
A very good dunker. He did some cool dunks in his days with the blazers.
Can't fault the comparisons.
He was a lil bit more crafty then Jordan!
Most underrated
Clyde had a sick wingspan
0:58 he just palmed a ball in front of one of the best defenders in NBA history... wow!
Kersey and Drexler were the two best dunking combinations I've ever seen
0:47
🔥
One handed palming it in Jordan's face!
He set him up for the okie doke like Apolo Creed winding up in Rocky 2!
Even drew the foul-nasty!!
Watch his legs kick out while he's in the air for that extra hang-time
WOW
He went to 2 NBA FINALS and lost both of them. Then, he went to Houston and got his championship.
One of the best!
To me prime Russ reminds me of this guy
Crazy athleticism and the ability to shoot pretty well
The best old school player.

Classy and lacks the pettiness of more “well known” stars of the time
2:11 it's just art
