Clyde said that in 92, after his bitter finals loss and the Dream Team, where he faced off against MJ daily, his frustration and ego were doubtlessly at a boiling point. Charles Barkley said similar things about MJ around that time, but his opinions are different now. It's not fair to quote someone 30+ years later when, probably, his current views are more humble and accepting. From everything I've heard about Clyde, he was and is one of the nicest, humblest, and kindest NBA stars. LBJ's narcissistic BS should be mocked and criticized because that's his present opinion, and unlike Clyde, millions of brain-dead Lebronsexuals believe him.

Clyde was a little taller, but unless Clyde has receipts from winning a foot race and weight-lifting contest over MJ, the “faster and stronger” claim is just his personal opinion, nothing more. There was NOTHING I ever saw Clyde do on the basketball court that shows him being “faster and stronger” than MJ. All we know for sure is that he was a little taller. And all of the EVIDENCE shows MJ was far better at basketball, so all the rest is irrelevant talk from an old dude chasing some glory.

I think watching the Slam Dunk Contest from the late 80's prove Clyde wasn't stronger or faster. Clyde's lift when jumping was noticeably lower than MJ's. He even tried the free throw line dunk and failed miserably. I was 15 when MJ joined the NBA and was a diehard fan, so I watched both those guys throughout their careers. Like they say "seeing is believing".

Drexler was the 2nd best shooting guard of his era. It's just that the guy who was #1 at shooting guard was the best player in the league beyond his position, and the greatest player of all time.

I am so annoyed by these narratives of modern NBA media and fans about older players being weaker, especially Jordans competition. These people claim Dame over Drexler when discussing the Portland GOAT. Just ridiculous. Drexler led the Trail Blazers to 2 finals in 3 years while Dame just got to the West Finals once and got swept. I never saw Drexler play, but you just need to look at Basketball reference to see that Clyde was a better rebounder, had more steals and blocks than Dame. Also, his assist numbers were awesome for a SG. He was a more efficient scorer, a better playmaker for his position and a better defender than Lillard, had more team success and was actually a top 3 player which Dame never was during his career. The mental gymnastics of modern NBA fans are so annoying. It is this disgusting movement of talking down on older generations to prop up the modern NBA which suffers from soft defense, entitled superstars and chucking 3s.

​@@PIP...33jordan beats wilt in playoff scoring in almost every category

In a candid interview with Clyde Drexler after the Dream Team's run in 1992. By that time, Michael Jordan had already beaten Clyde the Glide in the 1992 NBA Finals. And while that in and of itself was enough for people to slow down with the comparison between the two, in Drexler's mind, he didn't see that. Perception has a powerful effect on the brain, you can't stop people from having illusions. An illusion is proof that you don't always see what you think you see. Jordan displayed charisma, superior skills, high-flying athleticism, and a determination to win at all costs in his basketball career. I never heard anybody speak highly of Clyde in this regard. For MJ, to be the topic of the discussions in terms of comparisons or these ridiculous (G.O.A.T) debates just goes to show that MJ has left a positive impact on the NBA as a whole or otherwise he wouldn't be talked about as much.

Often the argument against Jordan is his three pointer and its low percentage. But he didn't bother practicing that shot until after he already won his first MVP. The three was considered as a gimmicky joke, until Bird started winning championships from '84 to '86. After that, a few coaches started greenlighting players to shoot it, creating three-point drills, and stars began taking it seriously. The NCAA didn't even adopt the three point shot till two years after Jordan left college. Only a couple of years into practicing that shot, Jordan had that infamous "shrug" game. But by that time, he was playing for Phil and in the Triangle offense. He had started winning championships by relying more on his post skills. He got in the weight room, got bigger, and practiced more in the post. After that second championship, he stopped shooting as many threes and stopped practicing them. During the second three-peat, he said on more than one occasion that he no longer practiced that shot. There's only so much time for practice, and Jordan focused his skill-development on the skills that most contributed to winning in his era, so he let that part of his game slide. He already proved that he COULD improve his range, so holding that against him just doesn't make sense. It's like criticizing a player for not shooting underhanded at the free-throw line. Just because Rick Barry did it better than anyone, it doesn't mean that skill made him better at winning. Getting the job done is what matters, not how it's done. Jordan, of course, did it better than anyone before and since..

He must have blocked out that finals appearance where Michael just wiped his ass with him. Probably too much for his ego to handle

In the 92 finals Jordan averaged 36 points per game and shot 53% while Drexler averaged 25 but shot only 40%. The Bulls kicked their asses 4-2. Jordan DOMINATED Drexler. Hell that first game is when MJ hit 6 three pointers in the first half and did the now famous shoulder shrug towards Magic. Drexler saying he was better than Jordan is about as stupid as Lefraud claiming he's the GOAT.

In this final series Jackson outplayed Adelman. Personal duels between the players came second. Drexler numbers were worse, but in a team that was more gifted offensively than the Bulls.

If he was better than Jordan he would've won a ring with the talent he had around him because I know MJ would've won rings with Drexler's supporting cast

Funny how former players are saying this AFTER everyone has retired lol... Why didn't they say this when they was playing in their prime? Because they knew exactly how Jordan would react and then school their asses on the court.

This is like Kobe vs TMac. Both equally talented but one was clearly better, more competitive, more driven, a perfectionist, a better leader, a winner. The other has had complaints of being a bad practice player, a bad leader and not being able to lead a team to the promised land. MJ was better than Kobe and Drexler was better than TMac but the dynamic is the same. (Truth be told, Drexler was phenomenal winning the 95 NBA Championship behind Hakeem Olajuwon in Houston. I don't think TMac could do that because his game was a little too much one-on-one)

The only person who hasn't addressed these comments is Jordan. But every person in the comment section played professional basketball. Unless you have a revisionist perspective, you cannot undue Jordan’s resume. Drexler isn't a top ten greatest NBA player case close

Drexler was a tier A player while Jordan was A+

Where’s the video of Clyde saying this? He has always been a grounded personality

I never cared much for Jordan ever since he came into the league. I preferred so many others players over Jordan like Drexler, Dominque Wilkins, Magic, and etc. but you have to admit it Jordan was better. Jordan didn’t have the best dunks in fact I thought Wilkins won that dunk contest when they met last. Drexler was very athletic and graceful and it can be argued that he may have been a good second after Jordan. Nobody could argue against Jordan when it comes to determination and sheer will to make that crucial basket. Jordan has the skill and athleticism to match his hyper competitiveness to guarantee a win.

He won one with the Rockets because Michael Jordan had retired. The Rockets won two championships when Michael Jordan wasn't with the Bulls in those two seasons. MJ retired after the first three peat because shortly before the end of the season, his father was murdered by a carjacker. He had nothing left to prove. Clyde should be grateful for MJ retiring so that he could win a ring. Everybody in the NBA was happy when MJ retired. They saw it as a chance for them to win a ring, because they couldn't see anyone beating the Bulls as long as MJ was on the team.

Clyde was great but, the real comparison at the time was MJ and Dominique. Unfortunately Dominique wasn’t on a better team and ruptured his Achilles although he did come back almost as good once healed. It was amazing! Human Highlight Film was tough!

Man was a God and killed a lot of hall of fame players dreams...Clyde The Glide was my favorite player.....wish he made the move to Houston two years earlier then he did....wish Ewing won one......😢

Drexler had all the talent Jordan had. What he did not have was the green light for unlimited shots and the media following. Thus, Jordan could win the offensive comparison based on numbers and the media could hype up the performance. From there, the rest is history.

Clyde Drexler was in the same ability class as MJ, he just did not have the same mentality as MJ. If Clyde had just a little more of Kobe's type of mentality, I believe he would've given MJ fits throughout their almost concurrent careers.

Clyde is severely underrated but he’s not anywhere near Jordan’s level

Drexler was awesome. That's exactly why he was on the dream team. These dudes lately comin at Jordan is absolutely hilarious 😂 They just can't let it go and be humble SMH

If Clyde played in a larger market like NYC, Philadelphia or DC, he would still be widely remembered as one of the all-time greats. That said, Jordan was clearly the better all-around player.

Being a huge fan of Clyde and the Blazers, i personally don't think he was better. However, he certainly was a hell of a lot closer than people nowadays assert that he was. He was a much better passer, all around more unselfish (sadly, to the detriment of the Blazers' success sometimes), almost as good on defense, equally as deadly mid range or in the post, as good or better at driving to the hoop and finishing (which is saying a lot - since MJ is without question one of the greatest of all time at taking it to the hoop), and eventually developed a three-point shot that was almost as good as Jordan's! The one thing Jordan was much better at was ball-handling, on pretty much everything else the two were extremely close. Clyde's by far the single most underrated player from that era, (late 80's to late 90's), and doesn't remotely get the respect he deserved/deserves. So at the end of the day, even though i don't think he was overall quite as great as MJ, he was pretty damn close. It's definitely far more absurd to assert that the guy was somehow nowhere near the same level as Jordan, the way so many people nowadays believe.

That's accurate. Stats and rings don't tell the whole picture. MJ himself admitted to teammates Clyde was as good as he was, in terms of raw talent. No one was better at mythologizing themselves than MJ. Clyde wasn't about all that. Len Bias was better than MJ in college. And Drexler was prob as good to MJ as an all around player as MJ was to Bias.

​@@Adam_A_Christian Amen man! It really pissed me off the way that Last Dance doc portrayed Clyde in that, like he was some pretender or some shit. That whole doc was but a MJ puff piece and gave a greatly distorted view of 80's and 90's NBA to the younger generation. They also did Horace Grant, and Pippen dirty as well. Making it seem like Horace was some minor role player, when in actuality integral to those first three tittles while being one of the greatest PF defenders and rebounders of all time - while also be a deadly offensive threat due to his ability to run the court for fast-breaks, his deadly jumper, and his great post moves, (the guy legit woulda averaged 20 or so a game if he had been on nearly any other team in the league back in the early 90s). But unfortunately he had Scottie, who was a little ball dominant in his own right, but more importantly - Horace also had MJ - who was legit one of the biggest ball-hogs of his era, (something Clyde never came close to being btw). And wouldn't ya know it, the first year Jordan took off - was the yr where Grant averaged nearly twenty a game and made the all-star team! And yet the doc made Grant out to be some minor scrub.

It's VERY FUNNY to me how many ex-players get delusional some yrs after they retire... Drexler, Pippen, Arenas, Thomas etc... STAY OFF THE SUGAR MAN❗️😄🤣🤣

I don’t know about better, but Clyde the Glide gave MJ buckets every time they matched up. Including that finals series.

Clyde has been hanging around Scottie Pippen too much lately.

Clyde was a beast. He just had the misfortune of playing in the era of the goat.

what clyde lacked was a ball handle..mj got more east points from his superior foot work n handle..clyde was close in every other category n mj mid range was better as well..imagine clyde 6 more points to his career average just from being better shooter n ball handler that helped him create better shots..

Remember when everyone said Clyde was the better 3 pt shooter before the finals vs Drexler? Then Jordan did an interview and said Clyde is a better 3pt shooter then he CHOOSES TO be. With a smirk. Then the next day he decided to choose to be better at 3s. And sank 9 in game one of the finals, the shrug game? Drexler seen first hand how much better Jordan was at even the things Clyde’s stats had shown him to better at. Lol. Idk how u talk about this without showing the interview and game 1 of that finals

Dame to steph is the most accurate. Clyde don't have kd and Joel accolades... but he did get to 2 finals

I am getting sick of this narrative that Shannon sharpe perpetuates that Jordan didn’t play anyone He beat magic for the first title. He’s considered a top 5 all time player He beat drexler for the 2nd. He’s a hall of famer He beat Barkley for the third. Hall of famer. And Kevin Johnson was a phenomenal guard. He played only 9 years and then went into politics He beat Payton and kemp for the 4th. Payton is a hall of famer and kemp was a beast He beat Malone and Stockton for 5 and 6. 2 more hall of famers He beat miller, ewing, and shaq at different to make the finals. It’s altering the past to control the present and future. Watch the movie “1984”

Always had fond of Clyde drexler ! Favorite player in my childhood time ❤

Clyde the Glide is truly talented and inderrated. But jordan23 the indomitable will of the one true goat is unquenchable. 6 champ fights in, 6 champ rings out. Mabuhay!

Clyde Drexler the only basketball player with a more receding hairline than Lebron James 😂😂😂

Drexler was playing one one five. Discrepancies in Chicago and Portland rosters. When Drexler joined Houston Rockets Olajuwon and Horry Smith Cassell Elle what happened. Jordan didn't make NBA finals and 95 Rockets swept Orlando with Shaq Penny Anderson Horace Grant. Jordan had guys Pippen Rodman kucoch Kerr Phil Jackson 11 rings.

You can't compare Micheal Jordan and Clyde Drexler because they played different positions during their NBA careers. Micheal Jordan was a shooting guard and Clyde Drexler was a small forward. So, it would compare both player's games. And Jordan handled the basketball more than Drexler did.

NO... NEGATIVE ! Drexler do not have the competition Jordan had Jordan had to compete against an older brother and he was ignored by his father this created a determination and Jordan that could not be stopped by no player! Once Jordan grew to 6 ft tall he was Unstoppable! It's amazing to see a basketball player like Drexler! He is as good as Jordan to a point but he doesn't have the Killer Instinct

Everybody always is the greatest after they retire. Meanwhile while they played they wouldn't dare say such nonsense.

Nah my argument is that they should've played the year before 90/91 season Portland was the best team in the league that year and Drexler was phenomenal

Drexler's and early 90's TrailBlazers' paradox - you could advance to the Finals two times in three years (and one time to WCF also), but if you laid an egg during those crucial games, in front of the whole country watching you, well... You can only live your rest of life in dellusion, exactly like Clyde lives. BTW Drexler didn't show anything spectacular during 1990 Finals or 1991 WCF, too. And he had not to compete against almighty MJ, back then.

The only person who could claim to be better than MJ is Isaiah Thomas, because he own MJ until MJ finally won a chip.

"Keep in mind it was Pippen and second string that brought the Bulls back from a 15 point 4th quarter deficit in Game 6." Refs played a very significant role in that, a number of bad calls changing momentum/trajectory of the game. Highly uncharecteristic of the Blazers to blow that kind of lead at the very end. The Bulls can thank the refs for the bailout.

Tracey McGrady vs the first round! 😂😭

I always liked Clyde. He was very athletic, very smooth. Stylistically, he was very much like Jordan. Perhaps he was faster, more athletic, etc. Not saying I believe that, but it's possible. But this, for me, is where the comparisons come to a screeching halt. Clyde simply can't hold a candle to Jordan's accomplishments, which must be attributed to something if not his speed, agility and athleticism. I suppose if these are the attributes that Clydes uses to call himself 'better' than Jordan, then so be it. But my definition - and the one that most folks probably use - is more centered around talent and results. And those, Clyde, Jordan has in spades.

Everyone thinks they were better than Jordan,...then they wake up still ringless.

Clyde Drexler was a great player, an all time great, but Michael Jordan was just on another level. Jordan was/is the GOAT. There is no shame in being in Jordan's shadow. I understand Clyde's frustration. It's like if you were a reasonably good looking guy, making a good above average income, with a nice job, but there's that one guy in your church that's really handsome, went to an Ivy League school like Harvard or Princeton, is good at everything he tries, and is making 4 or 5 times what you make. You're still doing well, and you ain't a bad looking dude either, but it's useless trying to compare yourself to a Brad Pitt hot shot doctor or lawyer from Harvard.

Drexler is now hanging out with Isiah cuz they both are hating Jordan and feeling salty. Clyde is mad cuz he got beat bad especially when Jordan hit those 6 3pt shots in a half and SHRUGGED on his team....(sorry Clyde: MJs 6 chips don't make you better; it makes you wishing you were)😆

damn tmac catching strays lmao

so why these players choose to compare themselves to Jordan? This really shows how great MJ is.

Drexler needs to be drug tested.. Jordan was always kicking his a$$ even as a freshman at UNC in the Final Four.. and the 1992 Finals Jordan avg. 34.8 ppg and Drexler 24.8ppg difference of 10 points.

Drexler played injured in that finals.

Clyde was a team player. Jordan has no idea what that means
