Finally, here is Part 3 (of 3) of our Dazzling Dunks extravaganza, featuring Clyde "The Glide" Drexler!
Clyde "The Glide" Drexler - We're gonna wrap things up with some silky smooth moves from Clyde "The Glide." There was a perception back in the day (at least with the people I knew) that Clyde didn't dunk with power, since he didn't do a lot of rim-hangin', like Kemp or 'Nique. This video will change that perception. He dunks with plenty of power. I'm not pulling your chain when I say that some of these dunks are straight outta sight. These dunks are smooth, man. Most of these dunks are from his days with the Blazers, but there is one in there from his Houston days, and I'm not talking Phi Slamma Jamma! Check it out!
Random Thoughts on the Drexler video... They get it rolling right out of the gate here at #10, a one-hand alley-oop slam, one of the best I've seen! He calls for the oop on the break and finishes with a serious thunderflush. If that is your tenth best dunk... you've had a pretty damn good career. ... I'm simply amazed watching the #8 dunk, which is Drexler over Manute Bol, the tallest player in NBA history. "The Glide" goes up and over him like it's nothing! And then he just runs back down the court with his head down like it's no big deal. Just another two points. Now that's awesome! ... He busts out a big one-handed windmill in #7 ("Take it to the bank!"), and I really enjoy the coast-to-coast flush in #4. He wasn't flashy, but he definitely wanted to make sure he gave the fans a show. ... The #1 jam on this list is definitely one of the best dunks in NBA history, and the slo-mo replay they show at the end this clip is unreal (starting around the 2:13 mark). I don't know if it's the camera angle or the old footage, but it looks like he's jumping from a looooong way out there! Great stuff!
