Clyde Drexler vs. Allen Iverson

[ThaSwagg3r]

I see a lot of comparison threads today, this vs. that, player a vs. player b, so I decided to make my own, I remember having a disagreement with a fellow poster here about this. I personally think Drexler was better while the other poster thought Iverson was. So I wanted to ask you guys, who do you think was better between the two, and who do you have ranked higher in your all-time list (or all-time SG list)? I have Drexler for both.





^^ In case you forgot what they look like......

Is this for realz?

Both of these players could lead their teams to finals as first options, but only one of them could play a support role of any kind, let alone on a championship team.

Drexler was much better then the chucker.

I'm biased and too young to remember all of Clyde's games but he played solid defense, was the 2nd best SG behind MJ, and shot at a higher FG%. He's also called "The Gylde" for a reason.

He wasn't as reliable of a scorer as Iverson was, though. His reputation was that he, and the rest of the Blazers, tended to choke when things got too rough. Whereas, Iverson was a pure scorer (despite claims of being a ball hog).

Iverson for both ?'s

Drexler, I have slightly higher. All are lumped into a group of guards that also included Gary Payton and Jason Kidd and a few more.

Iverson was the better scorer and at penetration, Drexler was better at everything else.

Clyde was the better defender, shooter (well maybe about even), passer and rebounder. Both played the passing lanes great. Drexler did lead his team to the Finals in the late 80s and early 90s.

Clyde Drexler is a more all around player than A.I is. Clyde Drexler is a solid defender, an underrated passer, and a better rebounder (size).

Iverson is a better scorer, but his efficiency is not all that great. Iverson used to force more shots, but Drexler could never score like Iverson could. But Drexler used to fall in love with the jumper, when it isn't the best choice.

Iverson is better at getting at the rim, Drexler is a better finisher once he gets to the rim.

But what separates them probably is more team play probably. Regardless, both are great players.

Drexler and anyone saying otherwise just doesn't understand basketball

[NBASTATMAN]

Give me drexler over and over against AI.. AI was a huge liability on defense and on offense as well at times..

[Rysio]

the one with 4 scoring titles.
