Clyde Drexler nicknamed the Glide by the NBA  is a 10-time NBA All-Star and was voted in to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004. He won an NBA championship with the Houston Rockets in 1995 and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. Drexler was also a member of the storied ‘Dream Team’ that won an Olympic gold medal in 1992. 

I, myself during my teenage days witnessed how Clyde Drexler played in the NBA where he is one of the key players of their team that led the Portland Trail Blazers in the finals twice and got a championship trophy while playing in Houston Rockets in 1995 where he contributed in rebounding, giving an assist to his teammates, steals and of course when it comes to scoring. Clyde has a muscular and well-formed body during his stints in the NBA where he can easily get the ball and dunked it. Not to mention, he is also a contemporary of one of the  NBA’s  triune rivalry, namely the legends like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.

Clyde Drexler as he answers the questions from the print, TV and online media community during the NBA Madness press conference, Clyde stresses out that "all his games in the NBA that number up to thousands or maybe even more were all memorable to him whether they win the game or loose the game, but it would make a more impact to me  if we win the game." When asked by one of the online media personality as to which game he played is the most memorable.
