[TheAdmiral3]

who ya got?

[millwad]

Clyde, easily..

[Miserio]

Tough. Pierce is more solid but when Clyde goes off, HE GOES OFF.

[Legends66NBA7]

Clyde Drexler for me.

[TheAdmiral3]

why?

I'm going with Clyde. He was not only an offensive threat on the court, he played relatively decent defense as well. If he wasn't playing in the MJ era, I think he'd have had a terrific run for a few 'chips (possibly).
As for Pierce, I'm not taking anything away from his game, but he's never been a defensive minded player. Offensively, he's got a case as the Celtics' best, but I'll still pick Clyde "The Glide" Drexler.

gimme the guy that once averaged 27-8-7 on 51% FG (clyde)

he was a better defender than Pierce aswell... much better court vision / passing to... he once averaged 8.0 apg

For me I would roll with Clyde, but its not a cakewalk either. Both are very good to great all around players. But even in the all around sense I would go with Clyde. Clyde was just as good of a rebounder and better passer. Clyde conducted a fast break as good as damn near any SG ever. Both are alpha dogs no doubt. Even though Clyde was more dynamic, it might actually be a tie in the alpha dog sense. I think Pierce has the more complete scoring skillset. I think I would give the nod to Clyde because he's better all around than a very good-great all around player in Pierce. And Clyde was just as much of an alpha dog, some would argue more of one. But Clyde had that freakish athletic ability to go with his tremendous skills. He along with MJ were the main two guys who revolutionized the SG spot in the mid 80's. Gervin brought the combo of great size and shooting touch in the 70's. West before him brought the great fundamental skillset and all around ability. MJ and Clyde brought Dr.J type athletic ability and size and combined it with great all around ability.

He has no case whatsoever, RRR3 is right.
