If there's one thing fans have learned about Michael Jordan from ESPN's “The Last Dance,” it's that his competitive nature is second to none.

This was once again on full display during Episodes 5 and 6, as Jordan admitted to taking offense when being compared to the great Clyde Drexler.

Drexler, who spent most of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers before making a move to the Houston Rockets at age 32, was one of the best players in the league during Jordan's era. As the Chicago Bulls legend admitted in “The Last Dance,” he considered Drexler to be a “threat.”

However, for him, Drexler was not at his level. In Jordan's mind, no one was.

The parallelisms in the careers of these two are quite interesting. They entered the league in succeeding years, with Clyde Drexler being drafted 14th overall in the 1983 Draft and Michael Jordan entering the league during the 1984 NBA Draft.

Throughout his career, Drexler was selected to the All-Star team 10 times and was named to the All-NBA squad on five separate occasions. He won the NBA title in 1995 as part of the Rockets — ironically the season right after Jordan's baseball hiatus. MJ returned late in the 1994-95 campaign, but he was not able to will his team to the title that year.

Suffice to say, Drexler was one of the great players that was unfortunate enough to have played during Jordan's time. It could be argued that he, much like other guys like Charles Barkley (as featured in Episodes 6 of “The Last Dance”) and Karl Malone, could have done much more in his career had he played in a different era.
