Drexler right at home in Houston
Former teammates ready for reunion
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — In the end,
Clyde Drexler got exactly what he wanted.
He's rid of the Portland Trail Blazers and the management he so publicly scorned, and he's gone home to Houston, where he will be reunited with his old college friend Hakeem Olajuwu.
"I can't wait for the first game, I really can't," Drexler said. "He's the best player in the league, and it's been a dream of ours ever since we left the
University of Houston to play together again."
It's a reunion of the two main members of "Phi Slamma Jamma," the University of Houston's slam-dunking basketball team that made consecutive Final Four appearances in the early 1980s.
"I was raised here. My relatives are here," he said after he arrived in Houston on Tuesday night. "This will give me more time to spend with them, and I couldn't be happier."
The Blazers sent Drexler and reserve forward Tracy Murray to Houston for power forward Otis Thorpe, a conditional first-round draft pick this year and the rights to Marcelo Nicola, who plays in Europe.
Drexler, 32, is Portland's all-time leader in almost every statistical category. He has made the all-star team eight times in his 11 1/2 seasons with Portland and was a member of the "Dream Team" that won the Olympic gold medal in 1992.
After two injury-plagued seasons, Drexler is having a strong year, averaging 22 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists.
Thorpe is in his 11th NBA season, the last seven with Houston. This season he has averaged 13.3 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
"He has a lot of basketball left. He should have been in the All-Star game, he was playing that well," Buck Williams, Houston forward, said.
