Clyde Drexler or Jimmy Butler?

[1987_Lakers]

He is not only in your young mind. Drexler is Top 50! Just take the L, it was a bad comparison.

In no world is Drexler ranked ahead of guys like Rick Barry, Nash, Ewing, & Isiah Thomas. What a trash list.

[insight]

Jimmy is a more cerebral and skilled player, and a much better defender... Drexler was a runner, the only thing he has over Jimmy is athleticism but thats not enough to be better.

Not true at all, you bringing a knife a gun fight, Jimmy Buckets is not in Drexler's league.

[Bronbron23]

Was LBJ's "weakest" Finals opponent better than MJ's best?

Holy shit these bron stains are in full meltdown lately. Nobody wanted jimmy butler just a year ago now all of a sudden he's better than Drexler.

Jimmy is a swiss knife

We know Drexler can jump higher and run faster. But thats about it. In terms of IQ, skill, teamwork, defensive ability, Jimmy is better. Jimmy is one of the most underrated players ever. For me its hard to separate him and Kawhi, thats how good he is.

The modern nba is slowly erasing the past. Westbrook passed Oscar now Butler is over Drexler

[Im so nba'd out]

Things get better as time goes on....Clyde Drexler had to look the at the ball while he dribbled......and this was a prime time player in his era



is this some sort of sick fking joke or something? Jimmy Butler is lightyears a head of clyde drexler...clyde fraizier.... and any other clyde u can name

A year ago this would of been a tarded comparison. Still is but i guess the moral of the story here is if you want to improve your career just play lebron in the finals. He almost always allows his direct competition to dominate.

Let Jimmy butler look like mj
Let kd get 2 fmvp's and look like the goat
Let iggy a role player look like a star and win fmvp
Let baby kawhi get a fmvp
Let dirk win a chip and fmvp with a worse team.

Apparently lebron is this great defender but if your a foward playing against him in the finals it's like Christmas.

Far as careers its not even close. Drexler is tiers above.

Prime vs prime is closer though. I like Jimmy's defense and shooting more. His leadership too. Glide had better athleticism, playmaking and was definitely the better scorer.

Exactly. Lebron's been outplayed by his match-up all of his last 3 Finals. Lakers slowed down Butler by putting AD on him. He was killing Lebron prior to that.

[Hey Yo]

Butler is better. Much more complete as a basketball player. Neither he is Lebron's weakest finals opponent nor is Drexler Jordan's strongest. Lebron's weakest finals opponent is Jason Terry while Jordans strongest opponent was Barkley or Malone.

Terry was the Mavs first option on offense?

How was MJ's defense in his 9th finals in 10yrs? Or KD's in his 7th and 8th consecutive Finals?

Iggy and Kawhi's was due to defense. Highly doubt MJ takes 2 games from PHX if he was missing Pip and Grant for the entire series.

Jimmy Butler is a better player due to better efficiency, better ball handling, and much better defensive player as Clyde never even made an all defensive team. Also Butler just seems like the way tougher player. I don't see Drexler turning a Karl Anthony Towns team into a top 9 defense, twolves held teams to a 107.8 offense when Butler was on the court which is still a top 9 defense and that's a miracle with ***** KAT defending the pick and roll.

37-22 record for Butler when he played on the twolves in 2017\18, that's a miracle on a KAT Twolves dumpster team. Top 9 defense with him on court and still ended bottom 3.

best player on the 2019 76ers who pushed raptors further then anybody else

2020 best player on finals team

2021 probably his best regular season yet

I don't think Drexler ever had that good of a 4 year stretch.
