@@clarencesimmons8580 I'm a Blazers lifer too. I saw a really sad picture a few months ago. It had the gone too soon -- Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth, Cliff Robinson, and Drazen Petrovic standing together in frame during a timeout listening to Rick Adelman - from the 1990 season. Ugggh that was rough.
Denver wanted up tempo in their home altitude so you'd be winded towards the end. Problem is, they literally had no set plays that they practiced. Everything was ad libbed each game right on the spot.
Great upload man! So many forgotten soldiers - Alex English, Walter Davis, Kevin Duckworth, Fat Lever, Terry Porter, etc.. When English would shoot it was so smooth and then at the end that push forward looked like he was giving it and extra kick.
There's are youngsters these days that have the audacity to say things like "Clyde had no jumper, couldn't pass, and wasn't a good rebounder"!!! And I then realize that we're living in clown world
Right! One of the greatest rebounding guards ever. One of the best passing 2’s ever. Lived in the midrange, especially toward the end of his career. Draymond Green said if Clyde played today, he’d be Terrance Ross. The disrespect is gross. Prime Drexler would abuse Green! 😂
@@naquoashuey2794 Prime Drexler would destroy this league now. So would prime English. Their midrange game would be even better, probably never miss cuz who's guarding them? Draymond?!🤣
7:49 That 2 Hand Reverse Jam from Drexler is sick. He made the defensive play run down the court catch ball and glides in air and reverse dunk! No other player does it like The Glyde!
U GIVE HIM PIPPEN AND RODMAN HE WOULD WIN 7 RINGS. GUY PLAYED IN TEAM THAT CARES NO DEFENSE NOT HIS FAULT THAT ORGANIZATION DIDNT GIVE HIM EVERY GOAT DEFENDER LIKE BRICK JORDAN GOT FROM JERRY KRAUS
@@PIP...33 Ppl also forget how Ron Harper was incredible defender before his knee was blew. He was also legit 18 to 23 ppg in Clippers Cavs days and Bulls got him literally for nothing. Dont forget Randy Brown guy put pressure on every screen catch and shoot players who hide behind those picks. 1 of most difficult job in history is to chase Steph Curry, RIP Hamilton RayRay or Reggie Miller all night dudes have infinite stamina and players like Randy Brown are rare to find, to stop that first screen move cover or deflect first play that coach draw for any of these shooters. I think old Gary Payton and Kobe bumped like billion times into Sheed and Ben Wallace tryin just to cover little space and stop Hamilton. Jordan benefit from guy like Randy Brown cause he puts SG on opposite side into fatigue while MJ rest just for offense.
@@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan YEAH BUMP INTO SCREENS IS 1 OF MOST DIFFICULT JOB. AS U MENTION SHEED AND BIG BEN , BUT WHAT ABOUT DAVIS BOYS LIKE REGGIE CALL EM TWINS DAVIS BROS.

OMGGGGG, MaaaalDweeeeeb, you have to post this whole game on your great and underrated full game Odysee channel. I LIVE for these obscure late 80s/early 90's Western Conference match ups. Especially when it comes to Drexler or Fat Lever. PLEASE PLEASE post this full game for the deprived mental patients like me!?!?!? Thank you, sir!!
@@MDBBall PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, sir! As a long time MaalDwebophile and follower, I'm begging you!?!?! This game is such a unicorn in our midst. THANK YOU in advance for everything; no matter what goes down.
@@MDBBall If I had to request another obscure A+ effort by you I'd love to see added to your super-duper Odysee full game channel. Did you have like a 1989 or 1990 Dallas vs Golden St game where Sam Perkins scored like a career high 41??? I swear, I thought I knew Perkins very well, but I don't remember him ever scoring as much as 41?????
BRON WAS NEVER ELITE DEFENDER JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE BLOCK CHASEDOWN HERE VAND THERE THATS NOT DEFENDER. WESTBROOK BLOCKED 7 FOOTER DURANT LIKE 10 TIMES LAST PLAYOFF VS SUNS. DEFENSE IS EFFORT OFF CAMERA NOT ON HIGHLIGHTS ONLY. MOVING EFFORT HUSTLE HEART. THOSE STATS NOT SHOWN ON TV.
Slight edge to Jordan because he had better coaching. Drexler was that good. He carried a small market team with the NBA higher ups against them. Terry Porter is also an all timer.
This is the first that I've ever really watched English play. What's immediately striking is how high he holds the ball for almost his whole shooting motion; it's just way up there with those long arms. Easy to see how he was able to score so much.
Walter should be in the HOF he was definitely a beast with Phoenix. MJ tried to get him to the Bulls I think in '91? but couldn't make it happen unfortunately.
He only did one thing but he did it well. His shooting form is kind of ugly. Still, he had game. He scored, rebounded and net assists. Also finish the 1980 decade scoring the most points of any player.
Lifelong Blazers fan ✊🏽Thank you for the upload. This is sweet.
Kevin Duckworth and Jerome Kersey they made RIP😥😥

Looks like the 80s was faster pace than I thought
Pace simply means number of possessions. Don't let the casuals today confuse you with them not understanding the difference between pace and tempo
Denver wanted up tempo in their home altitude so you'd be winded towards the end. Problem is, they literally had no set plays that they practiced. Everything was ad libbed each game right on the spot.
@@netrade3898 improvising I see
Players are faster now but played at a faster rate of play then
yep 80’s have a similar pace as today. but far more style and uniqueness in the 80’s, u had shooters, dunkers, runners, playmakers post ups everywhere

Clyde is so underrated !!!
Better rebounder, passer and defender and than Kobe.
Top5 shooting guard of all time!
@@leramfreeman2950 who's your other 4?
@@HiNRGboy Jordan, Kobe, Ice Man, Wade.
@@leramfreeman2950 sounds good to me. Jerry West, Paul Westphal, David Thompson, Walter Davis, Earl Monroe, Pistol Pete, all really good SG's too.
No wasted movement…I miss this dearly
This is beautiful people who put down 80’s and 90’s era have no idea
Alex English always moving without the ball. Beautiful to watch!!!
Ahhhh man thanks at time's it's good to watch these game's team ball
Clyde Drexler won this one on one matchup in rebounding and defense.
Wow watching this all the players on the court were great pros

NUGGETS AVERAGED 118 PTS A GAME THIS YEAR
Alex English was a beast and Walter Davis..when he was healthy
Walter should be in the HOF he was definitely a beast with Phoenix. MJ tried to get him to the Bulls I think in '91? but couldn't make it happen unfortunately.
English was a one-trick pony. Mid-range jump shots. He wasn't quick or powerful and was never going to cross anyone over.
He only did one thing but he did it well. His shooting form is kind of ugly. Still, he had game. He scored, rebounded and net assists. Also finish the 1980 decade scoring the most points of any player.
Maybe. But when your one trick is making a ton of contested shots, I’d say that’s pretty useful.
