clyde drexler

• geçtiğimiz günlerde magic johnson için abartılmış balon tadında ifadelerde bulundu
  
  dream team döneminde hiv virüsü mevzusundan dolayı kendisine acıdıklarından girmiş, magic'in kariyerinin son döneminde guard geçinip sahada gölgesini savunmaktan aciz olduğundan çıkmış. bunun alay konusu olduğundan felan bahsetmiş.
  
  "magic was always..." and drexler goes into a decent magic impression: "'come on, clyde, come on, clyde, get with me, get with me,' and making all that noise. and, really, he couldn't play much by that time. he couldn't guard his shadow."
  "but you have to have to understand what was going on then. everybody kept waiting for magic to die. every time he'd run up the court everybody would feel sorry for the guy, and he'd get all that benefit of the doubt. magic came across like, 'all this is my stuff.' really? get outta here, dude. he was on the declining end of his career."
  drexler had played exquisitely in the 1992 all-star game in orlando, although the mvp award eventually went to magic, who had been added by commissioner stern as a special thirteenth player to the western conference roster. "if we all knew magic was going to live this long, i would've gotten the mvp of that game, and magic probably wouldn't have made the olympic team."
  
  ha çıkış hafiften eziklik kokuyor olabilir, ama şu da bir gerçek ki bu olaya ilgiyi drexler, drj, jordan gibi adamlar diri tutuyor, johnson değil, özellikle de son döneminde. formları ve kapasiteleri bu kadar farklıyken magic'in bu kadar gölgesinde kalması kanına dokunmuş belli ki ama biraz geç kaldın be hacı, varsa bir lafın 92'de söyleyecektin...
