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

  • 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)
Chris Paul >>>>> Drexler

I guess that was the first time he dealt with double teams, because he never had that low of a scoring output in a series.

SHAQ USED TO GET DOUBLED
WHEN HE WAS BACKING DOWN.

DALLAS WAS DOUBLING HIM
ON THE CATCH AND
OFF THE BALL.

No there wasn’t lmao

MJ had better stats, more accolades, and was MVP by his 4th season. Who was making the argument that Drexler>Jordan?
The knock on Jordan early on was that he was a selfish player. He'll get all the stats not much success. Plenty of players at the time were saying that Clyde had just as much talent, but held back.

Even the 92 finals was waaaaaaay closer than people are lead to believe.

Yeah, that never happened to Shaq before, you right. Dallas was the first and only team to throw doubles and triples his way.

:dead:THIS CASUAL DOESNT
EVEN KNOW WHAT OFF THE BALL IS.

:devil:

you just throwing that distinction out there as if it wasn't exactly what they were doing prior to the catch as well. These guys weren't counting out five dribble and sending triples at shaq. it the was the same scheme.

pause the video at 3:30 looks exactly the same as your screen shot. Two wide open lakers players. Three spurs players guarding Shaq.
try again with this weak ass Shaq has never dealt with doubles and triples before dallas argument. The off ball angle doesn't work either.

I'm noticing a trend with every Chris Paul and Harden supporter that's just supporting arguments of "he's one of the best ever" or "he's a generational goat" but ignore their constant playoff failures, them doing WAY less, folding under pressure repeatedly.

How many all NBA players did Clyde go to 3 finals with and win a ring?

How many HALL OF FAMERS did those guys fail with???

LMAO

NOT ONLY IS THIS NOT
THE SAME THING AT ALL...

MAVS LITERALLY EMPLOYED
THIS DEFENSE ON DAMN NEAR
EVERY POSSESSION
WHICH IS WHY I SAID THEY
SOLD OUT.

SHAQ WAS NEVER GUARDED
LIKE THIS IN HIS CAREER
FOR A FULL GAME LET
ALONE A WHOLE SERIES.

THIS WASNT EVEN LEGAL
BEFORE THE ZONE DEFENSE GOOFY.
