:patrice:How is Drexler #2 and was a terrible shooter
Drexler was basically Bron before Bron was.

A passable (but not strong or elite) ball handler, not so great jump shooter with super elite leaping ability, first step, and finishing skills. Also a fantastic rebounder and shot blocker due to his length and vertical.

Does his one hand off one leg dunk look familiar?

1. Michael Jordan
2. Clyde Drexler
3. Mitch Richmond
4. Reggie Miller
5. Joe Dumars

Mullin would have been 3, but basketball reference has him listed as a SF instead for most of his career

Honorable Mention: Latrell Sprewell (people forget just how good he was when he started his career, he was the future of the Warriors before the choking incident)

Mullin was always a SF from his rookie year until he left the league.

Drexler was good but lacks the defense, passing, court vision and ball handling of LeBron.

Drexler had no left to speak of. Him or Nique. And yes Nique is better than Drexler.

My old man swears up and down Mitch Richmond was the second best shooting guard in the league in the mid 90s behind MJ

I’m 19 so obviously I ain’t see dude played and I watched his highlights, he ain’t look like nothing special.

So, old heads, how good was Mitch :patrice:
Your old man is right:myman:

Mitch took over after Joe D (early 90s) as the 2nd best 2
