NBA Trivia

[hawksforever]

Was chatting to a mate and come up with this question, well 2 questions that I would love to know the answer to.

1. Which player in the NBA has played for the most different teams? and what teams are they?

2. Which player has been traded more than any other player? ie may have been traded 10 times between only 2 teams back and forth.

Anyone that could answer this it would be awesome.

This is not a question but just a thing ino Quinten Richardson got traded 7 times over the off-season.

1. Jim Jackson- One of NCAA's marquee players in the early 90's and was drafted by Dallas. Ever since then, after he was out of the Mavs team, he went to teams such as Golden State, New Jersey, New Orleans, Miami, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cleveland, Phoenix, Sacramento, Portland, and Houston. Believe it or not, he played for 14 NBA teams.


2. got no clue????

Cheers for that Golden Boy, unreal, 14 teams that is just crazy.

I'm pretty sure Jimmy Jackson only played for 12 teams, unless I am miscounting?

Oh and GMB, Richardson was only traded 4 times, not 7 mate: New York - Memphis - LAC - Minnesota - Miami

 

[hawksforever]

Thanks BigD for clearing that up. Still 12 teams huge amount of teams. Traded 4 times in 1 season would make you feel kinda worthless.

 

[BruzDB]

I think Chucky Brown may have also played for 12 teams.

 

[taffster74]

didn't moses malone and kevin willis do a lot of team jumping late in their careers? I think you might find that moses has the most trades under his belt at fifteen - unless i'm mistaken.

 

[1711mark]

Chris Gatling - 8 teams
Joe smith - 9 teams
Chucky atkins - 8 teams
Kevin willis - 8 teams
rod stickland - 9 teams
terry cummings - 7 teams

Thats all i can think of at this moment lol

in relation to the other question about long stints with clubs without being traded, amare stoudemire, paul pierce, manu ginobili, david robinson, tim duncan, tony parker, yao ming... there'll have to be a fair few really

I got another question, this arose after noticing that D12's FG% is better than his free throw % this year. I thought yeah not uncommon for big guy. Then I thought of a question,

Q. When was the last time a guard had a better FG% that FT% for a season?

 

[lilreddevil]

According to my 09-10 UD First Edition cards:
Quentin Richardson had a FG% of .393 and a FT% of .365 last season after playing 72 games for the Knicks

 

[hawksforever]

That sounds wrong, surely that is a miss-print, from upper deck, never

 

[exzibit3]

That's his FG vs 3 point FG percentage.


Malik Hairston G from the Spurs shot .490 FG and .286 FT last season. There's quite a few players who did the same thing, just depends on how you qualify them i.e. min number of shots

yeh from a second look im guessing it is
no one goes from .700+ one year to something that low next season!
UD misprint OMG!
