    Here's a question. Clyde racked up his points during his 11 years with the Blazers. How many years has Dame been a Blazer? I think Dame has scored more points per year than Clyde did.

    I love them both....neither diminishes the other. Comparing across era's is pointless.

    Additional 3 point shooting and the fact that the team relied much heavier on Lillard might have had some effect on this? Not taking anything away from Dame. Just different game?

    I like them both also. Comparing them is probably pointless as you say but it is going to happen. Bottom line I still feel if I have to choose a player in their prime I am choosing Drexler.

    exactly

    in Clyde's first six seasons he led Portland to exactly 1 win outside of the first round. Portland's playoff record with Clyde, but without Buck was 9-20

    Clyde had one big advantage over Dame: he wasn't saddled with an idiot GM for a decade

    Dame has to get some extra credit for hauling that 2019 squad to the WCF. I mean, Meyers Leonard as starting center???

    Clyde played 867 games for Portland. Dame has played 730. So Dame broke the record while playing 137 games less

    Yes.....due to the current game being much more 3-point oriented. Dame dwarfs Clyde in '3's, but Clyde actually still has more FGs made. Different game. 3-pt shooting had just barely started when Clyde came into the league, so not even a thing growing up, in high school, or maybe even early in college.

    Dame grew up with his and is maybe the #2 long distance shooter in NBA history. Incredible range!

    This is correct. Just saw Dame in the lobby with a huge smile on his face surrounded by family. On to the next one.

    Thats just it...he had better results because of the accumulation of talent surrounding him. This is why I don't use championships won as a way to measure a players greatness.

    Some of the major players each player has had to play with. Seems like Drexler did more with less.

    Late 1st round pick Porter
    2nd round pick Kersey
    2nd Round pick Robinson
    2nd round pick Duckworth
    #3 pick pick Williams

    #2 pick Aldridge
    Lottery pick CJ
    Lottery pick Leonard
    Mid 1st round pick Nurkic
    Lottery pick Aminu
    Mid 1st round pick Lopez

    Without looking, shen Paxson passed Petrie, was it in a win?

    When Clyde passed Jim, was it in a win?

    You actually think Dame will win a ring in PDX? Really think before pounding on your keyboard

    Oh you’re using draft position to show a players value? I would use their production on the court to judge them.

    As somebody who predicted 40 wins this season, I’ll let you answer your own question.
