Is Clyde Drexler the most slept on SG ever?

Is NBA Star Clyde Drexler most slept on shooting guard ever?
From SOARING through the air and throwing down MONSTER JAMS, to being compared to the best player of ALL TIME…

We are gonna go over everything about Clyde “ The Glide” Drexler, who just might be the most UNDERRATED Shooting Guard in HISTORY!

Clyde is probably one of the unluckiest superstars that have ever played in the league…

And there are more than a few reasons why.

He had to play in the same era as Michael Jordan, playing the same position…

Drastically reducing his chances at winning the NBA title.

If that wasn’t bad enough, there was a very real possibility Drexler could have played WITH Mike instead of against him.

Despite all this, The Glide was a dominant force on the floor in his own right…

Easily getting to the basket and making monster dunks every game

So pop off your socks and get ready to watch through to the end with us…

Because we are gonna go over the slow start to his career…

His iconic gliding form while dunking…

How Clyde and Michael have been compared…

And how Drexler is massively underrated as a superstar.

Even at 6 foot 7 Clyde could easily be mistaken for a forward with how high he could get while putting NBA’s best on posters.

His agility and freakish dunking style is something we rarely see even in today's score first league.

This is even more amazing when you consider the NBA was full to the gill’s with big men and centers packing the paint in his era.

So why hasn’t The Glide gotten more attention when we talk about legends like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson or even other shooting guards like Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant?

The biggest reason for this isn’t because he wasn’t flashy, or didn’t score a lot.

It was because he was being compared to the GOAT, and even Jordan himself came out and downplayed his comparison to Drexler completely in “The Last Dance”.

Even though Mike’s words have a lot of weight, old timers and historians of the game are convinced The Glide was a much better player than history gives him credit for.

Inspired by Clyde Drexler explains who is the number 1 NBA player of all time .

Where does Clyde rank in your all time shooting guard list?

[abrahamstephens]

Clyde actually averaged more rpg, apg, spg, bpg and had a higher fg% than Kobe.

I went to his basketball camp two years in a row in the late 80's. He's one of the nicest person ive ever met. He would talk to the kids and parents afterwards for about an hour. A few years later my mom and I went to the rockets vs trailblazers game. We knew where the players would come out after the game. So I was getting some autographs when I hear someone call my name. It was clyde, he remembered me and my mom by name. My two friends with me were blown away that clyde drexler was talking to us.

[Jbrowneyez]

This was my dude back in the day. I was Portland and Houston fan because of clyde

[cflo]

You can't label a player a bust when they continuously keep getting iniured, to me Bowie & Oden were not bust. Lastly, Clyde was a great player and he was so much fun to watch.

[monteithphillips]

Not to mention he's a beast on 2K.

Jordan was in the league the year the Rockets won with Drexler(1995).

[craigallstott]

He started slow in his first year because every time he went flying into the lane doing some crazy dunk, Ramsey called a time out and pulled him out and would rip him a new one for not running the offense. Drexler figured it out the following year on how to do his Clyde the Glyde act while playing within Ramsay’s old school offense.

Clyde was really good. Kind of a mix between Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. He got two Portland teams to the finals and just didn't really have that secondary go-to scorer. Terry Porter was a good not great scorer. Clyde himself was probably more of a secondary scorer, all-around type player. If he had gotten to Houston sooner with Hakeem, he'd probably have had like 2-3 chips and might have grabbed a Finals MVP.

He's a champ and he was still good AF when they won but I think the 0-2 finals record as "the man" and the 1-0 finals record as the second option kind of hurt his credibility a little.

Michael is obviously the best. Before Kobe and Wade, a lot of people probably had Drexler as a top 2-3 shooting guard with Jordan and maybe like a Jerry West (who had similar struggles winning chips against more talented opponents).

[korgond]

Clyde was an exceptional athlete. I’ve been watching him with admiration since the early 90’s. An original dream team member, an original hall of famer. He is one of my childhood heroes.

[ellobitogallero]

that boy glides across the freethrow line 😳😳🤘🤘🤘🤘

[abelhansen]

Plus he was on 92 dream team. Bird magic M. J. 😊
They all got gold.

[samuelrolfe-nimo]

Most underrated player ever !! John Stockton doesn't get enough credit either !!

[seanrc]

Drexler never missed the playoffs his entire career. Kobe missed the playoffs four times.

[reginaldbernard]

Born in 1962 he was 21 when he entered the league in 83

[charliesilvrants]

Drexler won his championship in ‘95, when Jordan actually was in the league. They swept Orlando with Shaq, who eliminated Jordan’s Bulls 4-2

[thomo]

Great video!
Drexler was a freak ! His highlight reel is up there with the best of them !
Also, he was on the original Dream Team !

[Jarekthegamingdragon]

Insanely under rated. He's an undisputed top 5 SG in NBA history. You can argue him over kobe and definitely over wade. Yet some people don't even have him top 5. Ridiculous.

[reginaldg]

My vote for most underrated SG would go to Mitch Richmond. With pre injury Ron Harper getting an honorable mention.

[ShadowHawk]

My second favorite baller of all time. IMO, vastly underrated talent. My favorite baller was Connie " The Hawk " Hawkins
