Clyde Drexler’s 1992 Olympic Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

The Legacy of Clyde “The Glide” Drexler

Clyde Drexler, affectionately known as “The Glide,” is celebrated as one of basketball’s all-time great guards. His career, marked by high-flying, effortless swoops to the basket, left an indelible mark on the sport. After nearly a dozen seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Drexler’s name became synonymous with excellence, as he etched his legacy into the franchise’s record books. A perennial All-Star and a key member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team, Drexler twice led the Blazers to the NBA Finals. However, it was with the Houston Rockets, midway through his 12th season, that he finally captured the elusive championship ring.
