I would like to know, because I didn't see a game where Clyde Drexler was supposedly stymied by Scottie Pippen. In fact, Drexler is an overall better player than Pippen, who seems to be even more overrated on this board than he was during his career.
And maybe I'm in the minority, but I surely don't see this as some blowout event. The Class of '87 is being overrated a bit here (the group has two eventual hall of famers in Pippen and David Robinson and likely a third -- though somewhat borderline -- in Reggie Miller).
I would say a young Ralph Sampson is not a big dropoff (if any) from David Robinson and Drexler > Pippen. The '83 group actually seems to have a better group of scorers. The '87 group was three good to exceptional defenders (Robinson, Pippen and Horace Grant) but that's it. Not to mention there seems to be some garbage near the end of the '87 bench (at least, what you posted seems to be garbage -- Dennis Hopson? Reggie Williams?). I'll have to give a review later.
