To an extent, Clyde”the Clyde” Drexler has always been overshadowed. At Houston, he was part of Phi Slama Jamma, but Hakeem Olajuwon emerged as one of the greatest big men in NCAA (and then NBA) history.
He was overshadowed in the NBA by a number of guys from Larry Bird to Scottie Pippen to Dominique Wilkins to Charles Barkley and most of all by Michael Jordan.
Jordan overshadowed everyone.
But Drexler was great in college and he was better in the NBA. He could always run and dunk as well as anyone in the history of the game but as he matured, Drexler also became a tough shooter.
