Hall of Fame shooting guard and Phi Slama Jama alumnus Clyde Drexler wore this white Portland Trail Blazers home jersey during the 1987-88 NBA season. Drexler emerged as a two-way superstar this season, setting a new career high with 27 points per game while recording 6.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.5 steals per contest. Drexler and his fellow young stars Terry Porter and Jerome Kersey led the Blazers to a 53-29 record to claim a second-place finish in the Pacific Division. Drexler, a 10-time All-Star, retired after the 1998 season, and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004.
