reggie miller or clyde drexler? - Page 2

Gotta go with the Cali kid, Reggie Miller. The Glide was nice though. But, I go with Reggie, great shooter, clutch, and Cali made.

Reggie is one of my all time fav non Lakers.

Good match up, but Reggie was the man when I was growin up.

I'll take Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, he's a much better all-around player. The only thing Reggie has over Clyde is that he's a better shooter.

Clyde only has won one championship ring in his career and he won it in Houston in 1994. The first year Houston won the championship was 1993 and Clyde was still playing for Portland that year. He was traded to Houston in 1994 and the Rockets later swept the Orlando Magic in the finals.

Oh I thought he won two with Houston, my mistake.

This still is a good discussion, Clyde's achievements are often overlooked and somewhat forgotten and while both Reggie and Clyde were great, chosing one over the other is not an easy task.

i choose clyde...

though miller was better at sinking 3s and game winners, drexler had more in his arsenal... had more physical gifts and more skilled IMO...

and he and his blazers bested magic's showtime lakers in a playoff series (which was a very very difficult thing to pull back then) twice if i remember correctly...

Clyde Drexler was named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players. Being in that elite group just shows how truly talented he was.

Clyde was very underrated back when he played during the Jordan era. Portland is a small market city so his team didn't get much attention from the national media. But he managed to lead the Blazers to the NBA finals in 1990 against the Detroit Pistons and in 1992 against the Chicago Bulls but losing both series.

Reggie and the Pacers did make the Finals in 2000. Unfortunately, they lost to Phil Jackson's Lakers.
