His presence (along with Carl Herrera) played a major factor going up against the Knicks big frontline in their championship series. Remember the Rockets after trading him didn't have a legitimate PF for a while which eventually got exploited by the Sonics who had forwards that all played in the low post. That's why the Sonics shot such a high % against them in both the regular season and postseason the Rockets had to double team the forwards often giving the Sonics constant open looks. When the Rockets actually had a strong frontline in between that period (Thorpe/Herrera and later Barkley/Willis) the Sonics shooting % average was significantly lower.

I saw plenty of 3pt shots on this brief game summary , not really matching today narrative that back in the 90s the 3pt shoot was barely used lol. Just like today, some teams had their onw specialized player for 3's ( it doesnt mean no one else couldnt attempt shoot 3s) and yes, currently Curry overexploited the 3point shot. The main point here: the 3pt shoot was used as well, it wasnt that relegated just like todays kids or todays comentator aficionados at espn want us to believe.
