    even barkely was vocal about magic and him playing on the same court....

    It wasn't Barkley, it was Karl Malone that was totally against Magic plying after the Announcement

    "Look at this, scabs and cuts all over me," Malone, the Utah Jazz All-Star forward, said last Tuesday night in the visitors' locker room at Madison Square Garden before a preseason game against the Knicks.

    He pressed a finger to a small, pinkish hole on his thigh that was developing into a scab. "I get these every night, every game," he said. "They can't tell you that you're not at risk, and you can't tell me there's one guy in the N.B.A. who hasn't thought about it."

    during the olympics Barkley wouldn't go near him....
    barkley was one of the few that spoke their mind at the time about it...

    Goes to 1:36 of the video

    How Clyde gon say Magic wouldnt be on the team when they picked the team 2 months before Magic knew he had ? ..... That ? sound bitter .... If he woulda beat Detroit in 1990 he woulda had a ring b4 Mike and maybe he wouldnt have fell in his shadow

    Lol at Clyde saying that he was better than Mike like the 92 Finals didnt happen or something... Clyde should be bitter at his barber instead of Magic for his career.

    Clyde was Jordan's equal pre-96 if not better cause his J was more reliable than Jordan's..... Jordan had Scottie and Horace grant and great 3pt shooters while Clyde had terry porter and kelsey



    they were real close talent wise. I am not gonna front like Clyde didnt have good teams tho. his squad was loaded. Porter was a good pg Buck Williams was good, Cliff Robinson was good, Kevin Duckworth was good, Jerome Kersey was good.... Detlef was good

    Those Portland teams were really good and deep. Cliff Robinson was a rookie/6th man at the time. Drexler and Jordan during that were close talent wise. They were compared to each other often in them days.

    Drexler always was a beast hell even in college with phi slama jama. Jordan got more rings and all the shine But Drexler was right there talent wise with him. I loved his comment about Jordan getting to shoot all the time. Im fans of both. Folk love to choose sides tho and bash Clyde. ? that.

    I liked Drexler, but he wasn't nowhere near as versatile as Jordan ever. He could play above the rim like MJ, but he couldn't do everything else like MJ.

    Talent-wise Clyde and Jordan were even. What moved Jordan a step ahead of Clyde was his post moves and his will to win.

    Prime wade >>> Prime drex IMO

    I like wade's reckless style of play, and wade did carry the heat in 06 even tho he was gettin to the line crazy he still carried them..

    So wade is # 3 sg all time to me the only way he take Kobe spot is if he get 3 more FMVP and not let bron carry them each finals even tho he would have gotten FMVP against mavs if they won
