Biography
Named One of the "50 Greatest Players in NBA History," Clyde "the Glide" Drexler was a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team, along with other basketball legends Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. Born June 22, 1962 in New Orleans, LA, he began his career in 1983 with the Portland Trailblazers and retired in 1998 with the Houston Rockets - a team he led to the 1995 NBA Championship. In early 2007, Drexler was the fourth sports figure with so-called "two left feet" - following Evander Holyfield, Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith - to join the fourth season of the hugely successful dance competition series, "Dancing with the Stars" (ABC, 2005- ). Partnered with Elena Grinenko, Drexler had a lot to live up to, following football hero Smith's winning the third season title only months prior.
