I'm disappointed by this stupid thread and stupid assessment you gave Art. Cmon, you actually gave thought to this nonsense? Then you have a duck in JPlaya co-signing on some higher level of stupid.
Drexler couldn't lead his team past Detroit or the Bulls, he was an underachieving superstar/HOF player. No leadership capabilities. He wasn't the leader of any team, he had a HOF game with a supporting cast mentality. He wouldn't have lead LA to over there Nuggets to meet Boston that year
He won in Houston because he was under the wing of Akeem.
Also Drexler didn't face zones in the NBA. Zones were illegal defense back then. Stop with the lies.
first off,...
i and jplaya have said he was a college zonebuster.
in phi slamma jamma, with the dream.
we both never said the nba played zone in that era.
so you out those words into play on your own misinterpretation.
next,...this gen has a lower bball iq.
plus does not execute higher than what drexler faced in his era at all.
against detroit, that was an inexperienced portland hapoy to be there bunch.
going against a much higher pedigree tested championship level pistons team.
that defeated the elite guard to advance over years of failure.
against, the bulls, chicago had a higher level player in mj.
who instilled his team with the will to win. hence the comeback, to close houston out when they had a crazy lead.
so,..that was the complexion of the circumstances.
i think clyde given the low bball iq of the era.
plus, zone defense being instilled would have converted and beat the three-party.
