If Drexler was in the NBA right now, he'd pretty much be the best athlete in the league. He's my dude.

The all-time leader in assists and steals, with a .515 shooting percentage. Very efficient, and Perhaps the greatest point point guard of all time...
yeah i take John Stockton, even tho i think drexler is really underrated.

Drexler was a great player but to take him over Stockton would just be silly.

Drexler is absolutely a phenomenal player, and one of the most underrated of all time.

But Stockton is a legit top 3-5 all time at the hardest position in NBA history.

Drexler is great, no disrespect to him, but having a PG with Stockton's skills is beyond rare.

Easily Drexler as a first option. No question. Stockton has become ridiculously overrated post retirement.

Matters what my teams needs. There is no right answer without knowing that.

I would take Clyde, because I have this feeling that Stockton would get suspended a lot nowadays for the dirty crap he would pull. He would be like bruce bowens, except no one likes Stockton so he wouldn't have immunity from suspension.

If I know Stockton is allowed to pull his dirty little tricks I pick him, since it is much easier to find a good wing than a good PG.

He'd give them a run for their money I know that. I'll let you be the judge man.

I'd take Clyde for my team. There's nothing that guy couldn't do. Clyde was a rarity in the league himself, you rarely see a guy with that kind of handle, passing, court vision and awareness in the form of a shooting guard. He was just as much a team player as any other point guard I've seen. You could play him in any offense or defense, triangle offense, run and gun, princeton offense, Clyde would excel.

PG is the second hardest position to fill (after C), and Stockton is probably a top 5 PG of all time, so give me John over Clyde.
