Clyde Drexler’s Game-Worn Houston Rockets Jersey: A Piece of NBA History
A Legendary Career
Clyde Drexler, an icon of basketball, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame twice: first in 2004 for his individual career, and again in 2010 as a member of the illustrious 1992 United States men’s Olympic Basketball Team, famously known as the “Dream Team.” His career is marked by numerous accolades, including being named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History and winning an NBA Championship in 1995. This game-worn Houston Rockets jersey from the 1995-96 season is a testament to Drexler’s enduring legacy and excellence on the court.
