Where does Cylde Drexer rank to you brehs?

[AlainLocke]

Yall already putting James Harden over Clyde the Glyde?

The hell you say.

Lol James Harden is significantly better than Drexler as a basketball player.

I would put the Iceman over Drexler too

 

[The_Third_Man]

He was the 2nd best shooting in the league most of his career. as far as all-time, the Glide is 5th after MJ, Kobe, Wade, and AI.

 

[Vancouver Grizzly Fan]

Braindead ass kids on here saying Harden is better than Drexler.

 

[Goon for hire]

I wasn’t alive when he was playing, but the stories my dad has told me about him and Julius Erving makes it seem to me like he’s a top 5 shooting guard of all time. Plus that highlight real on YouTube . Thy don’t build nikkas like that no more

 

[premier58]

you lost me at career averaged 20 / 6 / 5 lol

20/6/5 for a dude who played 15 years is highly impressive.

 

[Big Boss]

Still waiting for Clyde to look up when he dribbles the ball.

 

[Originalman]

One of the greatest guard I ever seen. Also a dude who you wouldn't think was skilled but was very very skilled.

Cylde would run down the court with ball in his hand dribbling with his head down. Then a defender would run by and clyd would dribble that shyt behind his back or cross over or throw a no look pass and you would be like he can do that.....

Yep.....he could do all that shyt just didnt show it until he had to.

Also first player to kick his feet out on a jumper and not trying to get these bull shyt fouls like reggie miller and these new school jump shooters.

I love the story with the dream team how drexler had on two right shoes on his feet during practice and didn't even know it.....

 

[Originalman]

Still waiting for Clyde to play D for the first time.

Hey but that dude was cerebral....any defender who came up to him he knew exactly what to do.

Also drexler was like barkley and lebron. Once he was in the open court with a full head of steam it was 2 points or a foul. Even when he was 33 or 34.

I would say drexler, wilkens and lebron are the only players at 33 where you were like damn these kats still dunk like they are 27.

Breh I could see kawhi doing that lol

 

[MikelArteta]

his last season last season 18 points 5 assists 5 boards a game

 

[TrebleMan]

If Harden doesn't win a ring, I have him 4th. If Harden does win a ring, 5th.

Drexler averaged 27 points on 50.2% shooting, ~6 assists, ~3 steals, ~7 rebounds per game one season. But had 3 or 4 other seasons with very similar stats.

Eye test: 6'7 means he's a taller SG, hook shot, post game, aggressive attacker who intimidates and a streaky shooter who was 80% from the FT line. Read and reacted to what the defenses gave him very effectively. That'd translate across any era. Definitely warrants top 5 for the position.


Side note:
Drexler was robbed of a quadruple double and was one rebound away from another quadruple double - the rarest single-game feat in the NBA (only has occurred four times) and dude technically was one rebound away from pulling it off twice.

I'm wondering if we'll every see a quintuple double. Seeing a 10-10-10-10-10 stat line would be

 

[David_TheMan]

1- MJ
2 - Wade
3 - Clyde
4 - George Gervin
5 - Pistol Pete

 

[UpAndComing]

1. Jordan
2. Wade
3. Harden
4. Kobe
5. Drexler


I got him 5th place

 

[Damnshow]

clyde is a top 5 SG but he doesn't have a legendary playoff series victory as the franchise player, yeah he sneaked in those two finals appearances in portland where he lost BADLY in the finals

He never beat lakers with Magic. Never beat the rockets with hakeem and sampson, so who were the toughest oppoents in the west that they beat? Them young utah jazz?

And in houston hakeem was carrying the squad when clyde joined them

Clyde was fearless dunked of everybody back when they could clothesline your ass for coming in the lane
