Clyde Drexler's career and resume is looking pretty good compared to these guards who will retire ringless journeymen

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

• NBA champion (21ppg starter)
• 3 NBA finals
• 5x all NBA (consider the shooting guards of the era)
• NCAA title game
• 2 gold medals

Got to play with his homie Hakeem twice and go to title game/series both times. Led 2 blazer teams to the finals.

Would you rather have the career of Clyde drexler, or James harden, Chris Paul, dame Lillard, Paul George, etc (today's stars who ain't gonna do it almost certainly)

Is that a trick question? Cause Drexler was a star and all time great player and better than all those guys you mentioned.

(*waits for the inevitable "b-b-but he played against plumbers/that era was easier to play in" chimers*)

But he dribbled with his head down and rocked the George Jefferson

 

[Surreal]

Terry Porter>>>>Dame

 

[MikelArteta]

Cylde could have easily played a few more seasons

I don't think he was better than Harden or Westbrook.

Those guys are definitely pause better ball handlers, I mean kyrie is probably the best dribbler in basketball history...the sport had breakthroughs with Isiah Thomas and Allen Iverson and keeps getting better that way.

You buggin

 

[Damnshow]

I don't think he was better than Harden or Westbrook.

One is statpadder, the other was abusing regular season rules where less experienced refs would blow the whistle all the time.

 

[CHICAGO]

CLYDE WAS SEEN AS
THE 2ND BEST SG OF HIS ERA
BEHIND JORDAN AND ALL
OF THOSE OTHER GUYS WOULD
BE BEHIND JORDAN TOO
SO I DONT THINK HE WAS THE
RIGHT PERSON FOR THE THREAD.

You right, but If I said "best guards since 1985" how long would it take until we mentioned Clyde? I'm not waxing poetic about him like some do to big up an era over another but I think we just kind of assumed those guys would get theirs, and it's becoming clear as this generation starts to pivot they likely won't.

 

[Dem313wayz]

Every highlight I see of CLyde Drexler he is dribbling with his head down with only his right hand

This thread is premature

CP, PG, Dame could all still win rings as contributing starters

And calling CP3 and PG journeyman is wild, they been all-nba players for every franchise they played for

What does that achievement mean when they never accomplish anything when it matters? At any stop?

Dame could, but I don't see it right now.
