Jordan and Drexler

Watching a lot of 1992 Olympic games recently. I was a big fan of Drexler during the time but all of us admired Jordan. What if Drexler never existed though? Jordan would have been even more exponentially ahead of his peers at his position and style. Drexler was like Jordan Lite (tm). But with a cooler name.

Watching them play together on the Dream Team is amazing.

What if Jordan blew out his knee in college and it was the Drexler show? Just having fun bringing up these great players from a more fun time when personalities were larger than life and the game was more fun to watch.

Sonics-centric Question About Sikma/Chambers

These two guys were a bit ahead of my time as a fan as I barely remember the Sonics championship because I was a little kid at the time. My main memory is hearing "DOWNTOWN FREDDIE BROWN!!!" as my parents cheered.

Over the years I have confused Sikma and Chambers almost like they are the same guy. I am currently watching a lot of old games on youtube, and I notice Chambers went to the Suns and Sikma was facing off against Larry Bird and the Celtics (with a 3 point line so it must have been after his Sonics time).

What is different about these two and who was better? I'm guessing Sikma was but did he just play on better teams for his style?
