Clyde Drexler: "If Magic hadn't got the attention with HIV, I'd be the MVP."

[addictionary]

I really like Clyde Drexler as a player and I thought he was shadowed by Jordan and yet kept being great, but c'mon man what the hell is this?

I don't like Magic much, I just know him from highlights and videos etc, he looks too conceited to me. But in this video he acts very classy, so I now like him more. But still, Stockton>Magic for me, both basketball and character wise.

And about Drexler, I don't have any **** clue, so he may be right about getting no credit enough, whether it's because of Magic or not.

Probably true, IMO, but in the PC climate you sure as hell cant come out and say that ****...too funny though.

Magic took the high road at first, but still landed some shots. Very sneaky.

Haha.

How may rings you got Clyde? Hmmmm?

Clinton-esque.

One. On Hakeem's back. But he helped.

I also question the validity of the quote. Magic retired shortly after he found out then announced he had HIV (November '91). If that wasn't clear enough, the last MVP he got was in the '89-'90 season. It just doesn't make sense.

 

[Dr. Jones]

That.

He was talking about the 1992 All-Star MVP prize.

 

[TheSilencer1313]

Yeah that's crazy that Clyde would say that.
Big ups to Magic for being such a classy dude about such harsh comments.

Oh.

Well that's completely pathetic.

 

[TheSilencer1313]

Oh.

Well that's completely pathetic.

I don't think Clyde's mommy paid enough attention to him as a child.

Yeah. I always thought of the Glide as an under-appreciated hero of mine. Wish he hadn't said something like that.

Here you go.

I don't know what language is the commentary, but it helps. Some guy commented on the video saying that Clyde's right he owned the court on that night, his team won and he gave the ball to Magic at the end of it. I don't know if this is media's exagerration.

Edit: Clyde DID play like an MVP on that night and that last pass to Magic was really class act. But Giving Magic the prize was another part of the gesture so he shouldn't bring it up after all those years even if it was his right one billion percent. BTW this was a Trail Blazer Drexler you watched. He did not have his ring back then. he went down to Houston in 95 and won the title with the legendary roster of Rockets.

That's not how I remember it. I remember Malone being uncomfortable playing in a game against some who had HIV. That happened while Magic was playing and many people believe it helped push Magic out of the NBA. Am I mixed up somehow?

Wait, are they talking about all-star MVP? Who the hell cares about all-star MVP?

It is not officially an important trophy, but for a player that has yet to earn titles, playing against the best in the world and shining above them must be an important thing to remember. But if you have one of them, you don't need another. That is I think, that kind of title.
