Saw A Clyde Drexler Interview

It was on ESPN 2, but it wasn't what was listed. Got lucky.
Ahmad Rashad did a long interview with Clyde.
Clyde is smart (very), glib, eloquent, and most magnanimous.
And, he had a smile on his lips 85-90% of the interview.
I came away thinking that if there are people who don't like him, I can't imagine why!
Catch it if you can!

well, I fell asleep during the Riley one and the Drexler one was next. I imagine ESPN will show them again.

The Barley one was very good as Barkley always has a lot to say, with much of it being amusing. He talked about the '92 Olympic Dream team, probably the greatest basketball team ever assembled. He said he and Carl Malone, both power forwards, battled hard everyday to prove who was the best. He said Ewing and David Robinson went at it to show who was the best center. Magic and Bird battled against each other also, and Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan hated each other, not really, but fought to prove who was the best shooting guard.

I'll watch all of the interviews again when I'm not sleepy.

...Clyde talks about the full on scrimmage Daly held.
He said he fully agreed it was the best game of basketball ever played, and nobody was there to see it.
He also commented that there was no way Jordan was going to lose that game, and there was nothing his team could do to stop it!
