Clyde "The Glide" Drexler was drafted 14th overall by the Portland Trailblazers in the 1983 NBA draft. Drexler led the Portland Trail Blazers to the NBA Finals in the 1989-90 season, averaging 26.4 points and 7.8 rebounds, but his team lost to the Detroit Pistons in five games. He got a ring eventually in 1995.

He has a total of 2,207 steals in his career, ranking 7th on the league's all-time steals list. Also, in 1992 he was selected to the US Men's basketball team for the Barcelona Olympics and so, has been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame twice(for his individual career and as a member of the "Dream team").

In the 1991–92 season he made the All-NBA First Team(All-NBA second team in 1988 & 1991) and finished second to Michael Jordan in MVP voting. Having being named an All-Star on 10 occasions, Clyde's #22 jersey was retired by the Trailblazers organisation owing to his huge and everlasting presence on both ends of the court.
