Through his fifteen-year career as an NBA player, Clyde Drexler played
with elegance and flair, leadership and poise, integrity and an ability
to come through in the clutch. He led the Portland Trail Blazers to the
NBA Finals twice and helped the Houston Rockets win the NBA championship
in 1995. A ten-time All-Star, a member of the 1992 Olympic Dream Team,
and now a member of basketball's Hall of Fame, Drexler reached the top
of his profession without revealing many of his inner thoughts on
himself or the game. Now, Clyde the Glide is finally ready to talk to
his fans.
From growing up in a single-parent household to life as a local teen
legend, and eventually getting teamed with Hakeem Olajuwon to guide the
University of Houston into the NCAA Final Four twice in the early 1980s,
Clyde the Glide tells it all. Famous NBA figures such as Maurice Lucas
and Patrick Ewing even add their two cents. Without a doubt, Clyde the
Glide is a must-read for every ?die-hard basketball fan.
