I will go out on a limb here and say that Scottie Pippen was a better player than Clyde.

I don't believe this. Scottie was the more intelligent player. But he wasn't the better all around players. And certainly not as a explosive.

And btw. Not that I condone his work on the practice court.

But discussing and talking about Clydes practice habits are overstated. What was more important is what he did on the court. Name me another player since Clyde who put it out there game in and game out since Clyde. There hasn't been a player that played at the level Clyde did since Clyde. And I don't mean being good. But the effort and fortitude he played with on the court when it was game time.

So thats your proof he humiliated him in the olympic practices? He punched Steve Kerr in the face?

I think the thing is, Clyde may have wanted ot be the Alpha, but he wasn't the Alpha compared to Jordan.

And when Jordan was a rookie, Drexler wasn't the Alpha dog here anyways. So thats kind of a moot point.

Um, no. I gave you a link to the book the chronicles the Dream Team and how Jordan made it a point to destroy Drexler in practice.

Bowie shouldn't even be on the list. He played extremely well, was a real treat to watch, and lasted 11 seasons during what many consider the most competitive period in the history of the game.

And fuck Jordan, Houston passed on him before we did.

yeah, but they got a top 10 player of all time out of it

Clyde was a better scorer and that's it. Pip was a better defender, ball distributer and shooter.

It's funny. People remember us passing on Jordan, but I'll always remember it as us losing the coin toss. Had we won the flippin' coin toss it would be Drexler/Olajuwon which is arguable better.

Jordan/Drexler would have been epic.

Roy/Durant/Aldridge would have been amazing.... Hell, even Durant/Aldridge would have been amazing, no guarantee of a championship. Jordan/Drexler would have won multiple championships for us.

Just a little reminder fellas; but the Blazers had no interest in Jordan. If they didn't get Hakeem; their next choices were Bowie or Barkley.

The Oregonian reported Wednesday that Harry Glickman, one of the Blazers’ founders and a member of the basketball operations staff in 1984, admits his team didn’t just want Bowie over Jordan but also everyone’s favorite TNT analyst ahead of His Airness.

“If you look back at the draft,” Glickman said, “if we hadn’t selected [Bowie], we wouldn’t have selected Jordan. We probably would have gone with Charles Barkley.”

How is Kwame Brown not on that list?
