Big Al was a unique player. One of the last of a dying breed. True back to the basket pivot man. That said, he was a bit of a black hole and he certainly wasn’t known for defense. He played on a lot of bad teams tho, to be fair.

Rookie Durant played shooting guard, if I remember correctly. PJ Carlismo was the coach - weird usage on his part with the benefit of hindsight.
I remember Durant struggled from 3 that year and was seen as a bit of a chucker. There were haters, but In the modern era of social media, he’d have probably been clowned on quite a bit. The very next season, with the Thunder, he became the player he’s always been. Can’t believe he’s been in the league for almost 20 years now. What a fuckin’ trip.
