Japanese people love Clyde/the Blazers, who knew?

What David Hasselhoff was to Germany, Clyde was to Japan.

Wow...5 3's and not one dunk.... not like any Clyde highlight reel I've ever seen.

Eric Piatkowski sighting!

 

[KingSpeed]

No shit. Where are the dunks?

 

[julius]

I totally forgot about those games. But I instantly remembered it was against the Clippers. I learned the game, and then I posted. Where is my prize?

I think that was Drexler's last year as a Blazer.

I think this was the from the first year they shortened the 3 point line...

EDIT: Yep. Nov 4, 1994 (121-100). http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199411040LAC.html

EDIT: It can't be that game (NBA has it wrong?) - Clyde clearly hit 3 3-pointers, but has 2-5 in his line for November 4th. I'm convinced this is pre-season.

EDIT: I bet it's November 5th, where Clyde went for 41 points, 4-4 from three (that was considered a "home" game for Portland, too which matches the uniforms). I bet NBA League Pass goons got confused because the timestamps might be off because of the time zone difference between NY and Japan.

Instead of technicals, CCCP officials just kill a member of your family. he was dancing to keep a loved one alive.

In Soviet Russia, technical fouls call you!
