Re: Jimmy Butler is better then Clyde Drexler ever was
[QUOTE=3ball;14146970]DRTG in Finals
2020 Lakers..... 115
1990 Pistons... 104
1992 Bulls....... 103
yet Clyde averaged 26/8/6 on 54% vs Pistons (rodman defending)).. and 25/8/5 on MJ/Pip
otoh, butler is playing against matador defenders by comparison
clyde is a near-goat-level pure talent that doesn't get credit
out of Kawhi, Butler, and Clyde, the best athlete is easily clyde, and he never lifted weights.. ever
the best players in the 90's were "1st option Finals guys", aka Barkley, Malone, MJ, Hakeem, Ewing, Drexler and Robinson - Drexler was top 10 player of the decade[/QUOTE]
Offenses are way better these days because talent pool, floor spacing, more picks and rolls, better shooters, no big man clogging lanes
AKA 10x harder offenses to defend. Lakers still remained an elite defense all year.
Kawhi also squats 400 pounds and leg presses about 600 pounds, his physical strength destroys Clyde and that's what makes him a better athlete. But Clyde isn't on Kawhi's level, Clyde would get embarrassed by Kawhi like Butler did in 2019 playoffs. Clydes not even better then Butler, he never eliminated an MVP or had a finals performance like this.

Towns and Wiggins were a 20 win laughing stock without Butler. Somebody needs to beat some sense into you one day.

[QUOTE=MrFonzworth;14146997]Hey dumb ass, we're not talking about the gambler. Everyone knows he was a weak bitch for most of his career. Again, look at Clyde coming into the NBA and look at him in Houston. That's a result of muscle hypertrophy. You don't get those shoulders by running around all day.
NEVER lifted weights huh? What else explains it?[/QUOTE]
:lol :lol
Damn I'm glad to be back. Got banned just for saying the 1998 Jazz was a weak Finals team. Shit this forum is getting soft on me.

Re: Jimmy Butler is better then Clyde Drexler ever was
22 PPG on 122 ORTG is really nice... but Clyde put up better than that volume and efficiency. I'm actually kind of blown away by Drexler's prime playoff efficiency and volume. He was scoring at a very elite level and was a great playmaker athlete and defensive player as well. He averaged 20+ PPG on 120 ORTG in 1995 championship run with clutch play to boot, and everybody acts like Hakeem carried scrubs. And he did it in an era where it was harder to get buckets. No way is Jimmy better than prime Clyde.

I don't think people consider the Rockets 'scrubs', as much as the 94 run was basically Hakeem and a cast of really good role players who played their parts to perfection. Clyde was definitely a more than solid number 2 on the 95 team, but people mostly remember how dominant Dream was against his own positional rivals.

Jimmy Butler 2018-2020 is a better player then Clyde Drexler ever was
Butler took the Kawhi raptors further then Drexler took Jordan's bulls.
Butler is now shitting on any Drexler playoff run. Eliminating the reigning MVP in Giannis and [B]game 3 made the biggest finals upset in nba history[/B]. Now I know why they call him jimmy buckets. Butler has better defense, ball handling, shooting, physical and mental toughness. Clyde loses to butler in every category.

butler averaged 22 against Kawhi
Clyde averaged 26 against mj and rodman (90' and 92' Finals), so he would get more against Kawhi with today's higher pace and drtg..
so the stats prove you wrong

Butler has nobody close to Hakeem though. Bam is a non retard Montrezl Harrell an undersized slasher.
Don't forget butler has also gone through a brutal playoff run against bucks 1st defense, Celtics top 5 defense, Lakers top 5 defense and still has a 122 offensive rating.
