Quick Update: ESPN Chat with Drex

In case you guys missed it, here's the transcript from Clyde's live chat yesterday on ESPN dot com. Good stuff over there on the ESPNs.

Here's my IM conversation with Striker (green pants) from yesterday regarding Clyde's beautiful arrogance during the disappointingly brief half-hour long chat:

Striker (1:44:29 PM): dude
Striker (1:44:31 PM): oh my god
Striker (1:44:38 PM): this clyde drexler chat is so hilarious
Striker (1:44:46 PM): JON (NY, NY): In the current league where there is no hand checking and no ruff play how much better would your numbers be?
Striker (1:44:53 PM): Clyde Drexler: Oh, tremedously better, from shooting percentage to points per game everything would be up, and our team would score a lot more points, and we scored a lot back then. I do think there should be an asterisk next to some of these scoring leader, because it is much different with a forearm in your face. It is harder to score with resistence. You had to turn your back on guys defending you back in the day with all the hand checking. For guys who penetrate these days, it's hunting season. Yes, now you can play zone, but team rarely do.
Striker (1:45:08 PM): Kevin, Portland, OR: If Arvydas Sabonis had come over immediately after he was drafted in 1986, do you think you would have won a title with the Blazers?
Striker (1:45:13 PM): Clyde Drexler: We would have had four, five or six titles. Guaranteed. He was that good. He could pass, shoot three pointers, had a great post game, and dominated the paint. And he would have been younger. He was very effective in the NBA as an older player who had suffered an ankle injury
Blade (1:45:43 PM): Yeah, and i LOVE how he dumps on MJ toward the end
Blade (1:45:46 PM): Ronaldo Blackman
Blade (1:45:48 PM): classic
Blade (1:46:05 PM): why didn't he just say Alex English, or Sidney Moncrief or Tom Chambers
Blade (1:46:07 PM): hahaha
Striker (2:21:28 PM): hahaha

In case you didn't bother to click, or are a victim of some strange retardation that prevents you from doing so, Clyde basically says this:

"We would have won six titles with Sabas. We would have scored 150 points per game and I would have scored 45 per game with no hand checking on the perimeter. Scoring leaders today need asterisks by their names. MJ was not that good."

Thank you, Clyde. You are a beautiful animal.
