Clyde Austin "The Glide" Drexler (born June 22, 1962 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a former NBA all-star guard.

He attended the University of Houston and was drafted 14th overall in the 1983 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. He helped lead that team to the NBA Finals in 1990 and 1992. In 1992 he served for the U.S. Olympics basketball team, nicknamed The Dream Team, and won a gold medal in the process. On February 14, 1995, he was traded by the Blazers to the Houston Rockets, and immediately the Rockets, who were struggling to regain the championship form they had a year earlier, turned around. Drexler helped the Rockets to win the NBA title in 1995, and stayed with them for three more years. Drexler retired from the NBA after the 1997-'98 season in order to become head coach at his alma mater, the University of Houston, where he first gained fame playing with Hakeem Olajuwon, his future Rockets teammate.
