    IMO (that cover the bases?) Clyde and Sheed had more raw talent than Dame but Dame has an obsessive drive and discipline.
    And he has embraced the city in a way neither Clyde nor Sheed did.

    I get the feeling that Dame's gonna really start going hard for that MVP, especially now with LeBron and Embiid out.

    Just giving you some static. From 3 point range, Clyde was closer to Andre Miller than Reggie Miller.

    sorry no, the stats say otherwise. One could also factor in for context that Clyde was the main end of the 24 second clock bailout for a much higher percentage of those shots for his teams then Andre. Heck, he probably had more end of the clock 3s attempted then Reggie too as like Andre, Reggie lacked the explosiveness to be depended on to shake his man for an open look in those situations.

    Andre Miller career 3pt% = 0.217
    Clyde Drexler career 3pt% = 0.318
    Reggie Miller career 3pt% = 0.395

    He definitely had more iso threes than Reggie where he just pulled up over his man after breaking him off, instead of being run off of six screens to get a wide open look, nothing against Reggie Miller but he had a lot easier path to his efficiency than Clyde did.

    Reggie Miller hit shots in dramatic circumstances so they are remembered. He is after all the second best basketball player in his family.

    It was a joke! Is there a special font to be used for that?
