"I forgot he played for them..."
Mon Jul 27, 2015 9:54 pm
Another thread to keep us entertained during this part of the offseason.
So, you may or may not have actually forgotten that a certain player once played for a particular team, but we tend to associate players who have had a few stops in the NBA with just one or two of the clubs they played for. Let's reminisce about some of the stints that tend to get overlooked - and sometimes forgotten - and see if we can find some highlights on YouTube. I've got a bunch to get us started.
Dominique Wilkins
Celtics
Magic
Spurs
Clippers
Shawn Kemp:
Magic
Blazers
Cavs
Patrick Ewing
Sonics
Magic
Scottie Pippen
Rockets
And not exactly forgotten, but certainly a once-off in the NBA...
Michael Jordan vs. Scottie Pippen (Wizards vs Blazers)
Hakeem Olajuwon
Raptors
Muggsy Bogues:
Raptors
Robert Parish
Bulls
Hornets
Dennis Rodman
Mavericks
Lakers
Anfernee Hardaway
Knicks
Heat
Tracy McGrady
Knicks
Pistons
Hawks
Allen Iverson
Grizzlies
Gary Payton & Karl Malone
Lakers

Probably the most shocking for me are Wilkins in a Celtics uniform, Patrick Ewing in a Sonics uniform, and Iverson in a Grizzlies uniform.

Naaah, now sriosuly. Half of yoou may not know that, but The "Ice man" played for my hometown team when we has like 40+. I'm from an small village near Barcelona. It's called Manresa. We barely hit the 80k mark of population, bu we have a team who has been in the first league of spain since it started. The Iceman came here to play at the end of his career. He was scoring like 35+ points everygame, it was crazy.

even fans of NCAA basketball and UCLA would probably have forgotten and get shocked that ed o'bannon actually played in the NBA.

Yeah, I remember him. Back then, there wasn't much info about the NBA or NCAA over here in Germany. But he was announced by insiders as the next big thing and I was really looking forward to seeing him in action. It never happened due to his brittle knees. Real shame.

Shareef in Sacramento as a King. I could barely remember him being a Blazer anyway.
Dale Davis's latter years were also forgettable as well.

just because i was a huge tom chambers fan
i think the only reason i remember him playing for Utah was because when i was a a lot younger i remember meeting a guy who overheard me and my friend talking about chambers and he told us that tom was going to sign with the jazz. i remember not believing it and then a few weeks later i heard the official news. the man claimed to be a scout for the utah jazz and i guess i just always think people are full of shit.
anyway his jazz days may be somewhat known around here but what i do not remember is his time with the hornets and the 1 game he played for the 76ers. i couldnt even find pictures of those

Bringing up this offseason thread as I stumbled across video of Harold Miner during his brief stint with the Cavs in the 1996 season.
