Clyde's glide carries him to Hall of Fame
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle
SAN ANTONIO -- A little over 20 years ago, Clyde Drexler was introduced at University of Houston games by a fellow student he nicknamed "Golden Voice."
On Monday, the Golden Voice, better known as Jim Nantz, introduced Drexler as one of six greats elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Joining Drexler in this year's class are: Lynette Woodard, Bill Sharman, Jerry Colangelo, Drazen Dalipagic and the late Maurice Stokes.
Enshrinement festivities are Sept. 10-12 at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.
Drexler, the former Sterling High School star, was a two-time All-American at Houston and a nine-time NBA All-Star. He played 10 1/2 seasons with Portland before returning home to finish his career with the Rockets, where his No. 22 was retired and where he was a member of the 1995 NBA championship squad.
"Everyone who has ever laced up a pair of sneakers has this dream, but you don't think about it as a possibility," Drexler said. "You just worry about being good enough to make your junior high or high school team. Good enough to get some playing time. Good enough to get a scholarship. You just want to be a part of this great game. To be considered among the greats of the game is special."
Houston athletic director Dave Maggard was on hand for the announcement, as was new UH men's basketball coach Tom Penders. After retiring from the NBA, Drexler coached at his alma mater for two seasons and he said he might attempt to return to coaching when his children are a bit older.
"Maybe I'll do enough to one day get in as a coach," said Drexler, who is nicknamed The Glide for his long stride and high, floating moves to the basket. "I feel validated as a player."
Sharman, a native of Abilene who was named to the Hall as a player in 1976, joins John Wooden and Lenny Wilkens as the only three members who have been enshrined as both a player and a coach.
Sharman, who played on four championship teams with the Boston Celtics, is the only professional coach to win a championship and be named coach of the year in three different leagues (ABL, ABA and NBA). His 1972 Los Angeles Lakers, led by Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West, won a league-record 33 games in a row en route to the NBA title.
"I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time," said Sharman, 77. "I want to congratulate my players. They're the reason I'm getting in as a coach. They are who made me successful as a coach."
Stokes, the NBA Rookie of the Year in 1956, had his career cut short by a freak accident during a game in 1958. The fall sent him into a coma and permanently paralyzed him. He died at age 36 in 1970.
Woodard, recognized as one of the best women's basketball players of all time, was a star at Kansas, an Olympic gold medalist and the first female Harlem Globetrotter.
Colangelo is the chairman of the Phoenix Suns, and Dalipagic was an international star from Yugoslavia.
Bernard King, Bobby Jones, Dick Vitale and Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun, whose team played for the national championship Monday night, were among the 16 finalists for the Hall.

Drazen Dalipagic u Kuci slavnih u Springfildu
11. septembar 2004
Legendarni kosarkas beogradskog Partizana i reprezentacije nekedasnje Jugoslavije Dra#382;en Dalipagic promovisan je zvanicno u kosarkasku Kucu slavnih u americkom gradu Springfildu, prenosi sajt KK Partizan. Popularni "Praja" ro#273;en je 1951. godine u Mostaru, a kosarku je poceo da igra tek sa 19 godina. U Partizan je stigao u leto 1971. godine i do 1982. odigrao deset sezona u "crno-belom" dresu. U tom periodu je za Partizan odigrao 305 utakmica i postigao 8.278 poena, pa je i danas, posle vi#353;e od 20 godina, ostao ubedljivo najbolji strelac u bogatoj klupskoj istoriji. Sa Partizanom je osvojio dve titule prvaka dr#382;ave i jedan kup "Radivoja Koraca".
Dalipagic je, takodje, najbolji strelac reprezentacije Jugoslavije, za koju je postigao 3.131 poen i na velikim takmicenjima osvojio cak 12 medalja - cetiri na Svetskim prvenstvima (zlato, srebro i dve bronze), tri na Olimpijskim igrama (zlato, srebro i bronzu) i pet na prvenstvima Evrope (tri zlata, srebro i bronzu). Bio je prvi igrac sa prostora nekadasnje Jugoslavije koji je imao ponudu da zaigra u NBA, kada ga je, posle Olimpijade u Montrealu 1976. godine, pozvao Boston "Seltiks". (Beta) |

Не беше тоа во Москва. Таму југословенската репрезентација воопшто не играше со домаќинот. Репрезентацијата на Советскиот Сојуз доживеа пораз уште во полуфиналето против Италија, а со тоа и на југословените им стана многу полесен патот до златниот медал.
