when talking about top nba players why isnt clyde drexler talked about?

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

90s guard tiers IMO...IN the 90s

Tier zero:
Jordan

Tier 1:
Iverson
Magic
Drexler
Payton
Isiah
Stockton

Tier 2:
Reggie
Petrovic
Mitch
Kobe
Dumars
Spreewell
Penny
Kidd
Tim hardaway

Tier 3:
Stackhouse
Ray allen
Vince
Kj
Mitch
Mark price
Rod strickland

Some are gray between 1-2 (both hardaways) and 2-3 (ray, spree)

Clyde never played with a legit hof player during his prime. He had a coach known for his choking. You give clyde the teams Kobe has, mj , wade has, and he has his own rings. Clyde was a victim of circumstances

You can give like half of the people on that above list the same label. On a different team mark price is john stockton and reggie is ray allen

I dont remember mitch ever leading 2 teams that had no business in the playoffs to the finals. Did mitch even play in a playoff game during his career?

It wasn't like those Blazers teams were the Cavs team with Lebron, they had good amount of talent on them with Terry Porter, Kevin Duckworth, Jerome Kersey etc.

LOL @ all this revisionist history... The Blazers were the great hope of the 90's... Niccaz was talkin bout the Blazers were gonna dominate the Bulls... but as fate would have it the Blazers had Clyde and the Bulls had the GOAT

Was about to neg you for not putting Magic in Tier 0.....but I saw "90s" instead of "80s"

Yep.

Before the Finals media cats were trying to say that Clyde was a better shooter than MJ.

I would put KJ and Timmy in tier 2,
bump GP down to 2,
bring Mitch up to 2,
bump Dumars down to 3 (I realize i'm talkin' to a Detroit dude, but c'mon shun.)

Changes like that are fair within opinion..payton is a hard 1....i agree on tim hardaway though

Clyde isn't as good a playof performer as any of those guys.

 

[feelosofer]

Drexler imo, was the 2nd best SG of his era.

If I had to compare a player in this era to him, I can't not one player is even close to him in his prime. I think Demar Derozan has a similar play style and some of his skills, but the kid has to really work on his shooting.

Drexler when he was on the Blazers had a very good squad and they were favorites in that 92 finals.

That being said no one remembers the 2nd best SG especially when the bulk of your career in Jordan's shadow.

Whoa whoa, be easy playalife...it was hard as hell comin' out of the Western Conference at that time...

The same for Kobe his entire career

He gets props. I heard ppl irl and analysts on tv call him the 2nd beast sg of the Michael Jordan era...

Say What You Want But Drexler Def Doesnt Get The Props He Should, No One Ever Mentions Him

I Dont Even Mean As "One Of The Greats" I Just Mean In Regular Basketball Discussion When Talking about The Older Players
