I think Clyde Drexler was one of the top 10 players in NBA history. The reason that many over-looked him was because he shared the same era as Michael Jordan. Clyde could score 30 points, dish out 10 assists and grab 10 rebounds on any given night. Who here agrees with me?

yes it is true that he was kinda overlooked because of micheal jordan,but it is also because when he was defeated in the playoffs by the chigaco bulls and micheal jordan.plus he was overlooked to many nba fans because of the history of the trail blazers which was not as sucessful aas many other teams and because of his 43 year old looks.but he possibly could be better than magic johnson because he brang the portland tralbalzers to many sucessful seasons and playoff apperances.and clyde the gilde drexler was the top 50 greatest players in nba history not the top 10.so clyde can possibly be underated but he can't underated to other people because he was chosen to tb one of the greatest players in nba history.

Clyde Drexler was very underrated.
ESPN just didn't kiss his a** like they did Jordan's.

He wasn't underrated, he just wasn't talked about as much as other big name players during his time (jordan, barkley, olajuwon). He was inducted into the top 50 greatest players of all time about 10 years ago, this alone should constitute him not being underrated.

Underrated: not really he got his credits and recognition. Top 10 in history: definitely not.
