Just heard the author of the book on the radio the other day, defending Drexler by saying the comments weren't malicious, but rather just out of context. Apparently he had asked Drexler about players on the team, and Clyde wondered why guys like Isiah Thomas or James Worthy didn't make it. McCallum told him they couldn't carry a twenty man roster, so who did Drexler think, at the time, should have been passed over in favor of the other guys. His answer was what was written. Not a slight on Magic, just that he didn't think he was one of the best players in the country at that time.

He also talked about the Bobby Hurley/Chris Webber collegiate team that beat the Dream Team. I don't really remember that...It'd be cool to see video of that game.
