Clyde Drexler or Jimmy Butler?

[Shooter]

Was LBJ's "weakest" Finals opponent better than MJ's best?

[ImKobe]

Lebron went 6 games vs. a Heat team that had injuries to 2 of their best 3 players. Butler also had a higher GameScore for the series. MJ never got outplayed on the big stage.

[ArbitraryWater]

Butler probably better, yeah

[Charlie Sheen]

Butler probably better, yeah

It's a tough one because it can start the argument of value offense vs. defense. Then Jimmy's finals was nuts. That starts an argument about comparing across eras. Not saying you're wrong... or right

[BigShotBob]

Butler probably better, yeah

Asinine.

Drexler was a far better offensive player.

Jimmy Butler should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Clyde Drexler. Jimmy is not a first ballot Hall of famer, and has zero chips, Phi Slamma Jama. Some of you guys are straight talking alternative facts!

[PeroAntic]

Butler is better. Much more complete as a basketball player. Neither he is Lebron's weakest finals opponent nor is Drexler Jordan's strongest. Lebron's weakest finals opponent is Jason Terry while Jordans strongest opponent was Barkley or Malone.

MJ's best? How in your confused brain do you think Clyde Drexler was better than Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, etc.?

Butler is better. Much more complete as a basketball player. Neither he is Lebron's weakest finals opponent nor is Drexler Jordan's strongest. Lebron's weakest finals opponent is Jason Terry while Jordans strongest opponent was Barkley or Malone.

So Bulter is a top 50 player in NBA History?
Drexler and Jordan had a rivalry because many people in that era claimed Drexler was better than Jordan. Michael was offended by this at tried to destroy Drexler every time they played. Jimmy Buckets has never been on that level it's laughable to make the comparison.

Drexler

[1987_Lakers]

Drexler is one of those past players whos stock has dropped considerably as the years have gone by. When I first joined ISH, he was mostly considered a top 5 SG ever, now he is rarely talked about, not as highly regarded, some don't even have him in their top 50 list.

He benefited with playing on a Portland team that ran like crazy, most of his points came in transition, not really a great half court scorer, good passer, but a "meh" defender. He also would be considered a below average ball handler & shooter if he played today. He had many flaws in his game. He still probably ranks ahead of Butler all-time just because he has more individual accolades, but the more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that I'd rather have Butler on my team.

Jimmy is a more cerebral and skilled player, and a much better defender... Drexler was a runner, the only thing he has over Jimmy is athleticism but thats not enough to be better.

Clyde sure isn't

He is not only in your young mind. Drexler is Top 50! Just take the L, it was a bad comparison.
