Clyde The Glyde was my 2nd All Time Fave baller. No BS antics like many of today's players, he just played the game. Connie " The Hawk " Hawkins was my All Time fave baller.
As a teenage boy watching ESPN I had a crush on Robin Roberts. This brought back fond memories of how beautiful she was. Shot out to ginoongkamote for posting this classic about Clyde The Glide.
If I drafted a 5 man team: Pippen - PG, Clyde "the glide" - SG, Bird SF, LeBron - PF, Wilt "the stilt" - C Bench: PG - Curry, Payton, Stockton SG/SF - Kobe, Grant Hill, T-Mac, KD PF/C - Hakeem, Webber, Garnett, Love, Rodman, Duncan Coach - Phil
THROWN BACK HOUSTON COUGERS COLLAGE DAYS FIVE SLAMMA JAMMA WHEN HE DUNK/JUMP OVER GUARD ASKEW FROM FOUL LINE IN FINAL FOUR TO ADVANCE TO CHAMPION SHIP GAME IS BLESSING TO SEE FOR SURE AM JUST SAYING YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
What's with the over passing by Kenny Smith on the fast break at 27:07? He had an open right-handed lay in and whips it back to Clyde and almost blew the play. Fortunately, with Draxler's strength, he's able to get to the line with a foul instead of being blocked cleanly.
In my opinion, if Clyde had won both the 1990 & 1992 finals and became MVP plus the 1995 Championship with Houston, people would say he was that good as Jordan.
Imagine doing a FT line equivalent dunk in traffic in a game! This is maybe the greatest dunk in NBA history--despite Ricky Davis doing a between the legs dunk in a game later--because some of the dunkers that can go between the legs can't go from the FT line(Vince struggled to do it in that dunk contest he was in*); it's true! *Jumping from way inside the line...
I have to laugh when people rank Shaq a better Center than Olajuwon. Shaq said it himself; Hakeem always got the better of him. He and Drexler are the 2 best players on the court here.
Second best sg in the Jordan era...i never appreciated his game until decades later. Rockets players corny and childish for being mad at this man replacing otis thorpe. Othis thorpe?!!! 😂😂😂 Are you kidding me!!!! This is clyde drexler...i hope hakeem checked them about that because that was disrespectful and ignorant
crazy to watch Ray Allen talk about Clyde and he had almost a similar career as him. Both legends to the game

thanks darthlowiq appreciate the comments man!!!
Beyond the beyond, the best.
Lifetime Blazer and Clyde fan here. Was so happy when he got this title. Surprising they had K Smith rather than Clyde on Penny
fantastic player and competitor
He was apart of the great University of Houston team that NC State upset in the national championship
Yes. Phi Slama Jama made it to NCAA title games
Long career made millions traded to home state win ring retire on top Clyde was
blessed one ring or 6 rings a World Champion undisputed.
Is there some technology that could be used to make these old videos less blurry?
good stuff, i liked him a lot, his game and his face. looks like he's 32 from day 1 to now.
More like 42 than 32... but nevertheless, for me, after Jordan, he's the best guard NBA has ever given the world!
Great nickname-the Glide. Did not know that Dominique Wilkins was traded from the Hawks.
2:02 hahaha the way he said that "he floated"

Far more spectacular than Jordon. Second only to Dr. J.
Lmfaooo are you dumb
He was underrated until he won a championship with the rockets he was one helluva player
Little shorts,tight necklaces, receding hairline,and bald spots. Those were the days

Delay of game call? NBA officiating making sure games remain as close as possible since ...
Only Gervin had a better finger roll... #22
What happened to vintage nba?

Especially Kenny Smith. Clyde had lit him up for 50 points back in '89 when Smith was with Sacramento and Clyde with Portland.
