Drexler Denies Talks with NBA Teams
The basketball legendary Clyde Drexler denied Thursday any commitments with pro teams of the National Basketball Association, saying he would like to stay with his family.
"I'm not looking for any coaching or management jobs in the league," said the 38-year-old, who arrived Wednesday in Beijing for NBA Legends Tour in China.
"I want to have more leisure time with my four children and my wife."
Drexler, one of the NBA Greatest Players, picked up a morning warm-up with the Legends teammates, like Buck Williams, Eddie Johnson, Danny Schayes, Rolando Blackman, prior to Friday's Game One against China at the Beijing Workers Stadium.
Known as "The Glide", Drexler spent his glorious 11-1/2 years playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, where he reached the NBA Finals twice in 1990 and 1992, and won the championships with the Houston Rockets in 1995.
The 11-player Legends team, coached by the prestigious Rick Barry, will play three games in China against the national team.
Game Two is in Guangzhou on Aug. 14 and Game Three in Shanghai on Aug. 17.
