Opinions will vary but I nominate this gem:



He was in the middle of the paint, had to fully extend to reach the ball, throws it down with power.

Here it is, the dunk versus the sonics at the 25 sec mark.

I like the one about 39 seconds. I think this is the half court oop from Porter where it looked like it would go past Clyde, but he somehow one-handed it and threw it down hard.

That was awesome. Hell, they are all awesome. He does it in the way only Clyde can do it.

The dude had such a swagger on the floor. His style everything.

He to me is by far the most out of control son of a biatch that ever played the game. But I loved him that way. Just really exciting.

The funnest player I have ever had a pleasure in watching.

That is bar-none, the best highlight reel I've ever seen. Wow.

Like I said, He did it in the way only Clyde could do it.

I get goosebumps just thinking about him. He's left a mark on this fan.

Clyde Drexler taking off from the elbow against the Lakers would be tough to beat.

Vegas?

EDIT: Just read rest of thread. There was one in the playoffs he had vs. LAL in Vegas (because of the riots) That I always remember. Can't find it anywhere. Haven't looked actually.

I'd forgotten about the "round-the-world" he'd do with the ball during the last twi steps before his leap. So fluid and cool.

Can't we just donate Outlaw's body to science and stick Clyde's brain in there?

@1:54
 
Someone (HCP?) needs to dig up the Kersey dunk over Eaton in the playoffs - he literally went horizontal (to beat Eaton to the basket). I haven't seen anything like it before or since.

What's not obvious in that video is how Shane Battier shoved Travis as he was dunking, and he was off-balance because of it.

That was Bonzi, not Battier. Battier was still in Memphis at that time.

See, it's moments like this and his 24 point quarter that make me think that Webster *IS* the answer at SF, he was ready to bust out last year and really grab the role and make it his before he got injured. I still think he deserves the opportunity.

That was. Martell has some pretty cool ones. I think his tends to be the same all the time.

Kind of like Jerome Kersey's. He prob had some of the nastiest dunks of all time, but they were all the same. The thing with his, they always came with an exclamation mark. He used to try to destroy the opponent on the other end with them.

Outlaw doesn't have Clydes coordination or speed. And as much people liked to talk about Clydes work ethic. He is no where close to being in Clyde's shape.

True, but Outlaw also doesn't have the mentality Drexler did (as ONE example of this, Outlaw shuns contact, but Drexler created contact). Of course, Clyde wasn't nearly the shooter Outlaw is, which may be part of the problem as well.

Coordination's all in the brain. I don't want Outlaw's brain anywhere near this equation. :devilwink: Give Clyde a year in Outlaw's body to work out, and we'll talk.

I love the "basketball not Football" sign at 0:49. I blame Pat Riley for ruining the beauty of the NBA game. Yeah, the Bad Boys were the original thugs, but Riley's Knicks teams took the grabbing, holding, pushing, tugging to a whole new level. They simply committed so many fouls on every possession the refs couldn't possibly call them all.

Chuck Daly started that style with Mahorn/Laimbeer/Rodman. They still scored points, because they pushed the ball, but the bumped on the defensive end, and Mahorn and Laimbeer were basically dirty players. Riley took it to another level, but the Pistons started the change, and their success led to copycats like Riley.
 
It is interesting the mystique that builds around certain players. I heard Clyde HATED practice and was late all the time. Yet Sheed brought it every day no matter what. Don't get me wrong. I grew up loving Clyde, but the man did not walk on water.

Fans put way too much weight on a player's personality. Of course, that's understandable since there is little else to go on. We don't get to see the practices or hang out in the locker room, and public statements by coaches and athletes are almost always of the "both teams played hard" variety. So they manner in which the player utters "both teams played hard" ends up being a key factor in our opinion of them.
