Maybe I rubbed off on BG but I too believe Drexler was overrated. He played on a stacked Portland team with a bunch of unselfish, team first players who allowed him to shine. But it can be convincingly argued that Porter (and even Kersey and Williams) carried those teams. For all Clyde's talents he had a tiny heart and folded like a cheap suit under pressure. How many times did he whine about being underpaid? How many times did Portland tear up his contract and give him a new one only to have him whine again a year or two later? He was crying the contract blues when PA traded him because he (PA) had had enough. But PA was classy enough to trade him for hot garbage to his hometown. Clyde then won a ring on Olajuwon's coat tails then pissed all over Portland at HOF time. Fuck Clyde Drexler. Fun to watch with nothing on the line so he'll always be overrated in my opinion. And Dame has already left Clyde in his dust.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I do have a signed Drexler jersey framed in my basement. But the Dame jersey was going for more than twice Drexler's at the auction.
