You probably forgot these NBA players were on these teams
source: Getty Images The NBA has a whole lot of movement. Even Michael Jordan couldn’t finish his career with the Chicago Bulls. Even the most iconic multi-team NBA players have a short stint on a team you would swear they never played for. Here are some iconic NBA players in weird places.
Shaquille O’Neal, Boston Celtics
source: Getty Images The only meaningful thing about his Celtics stint was the fact it completed the Shaq Rainbow.
Hakeem Olajuwon, Toronto Raptors
source: Getty Images Who among us wouldn’t take a bag to spend a year in Canada?
Dwyane Wade, Cleveland Cavaliers
source: Getty Images After coming home to Chicago for a year, Wade fulfilled some long-owed debt to LeBron James by playing alongside him in Ohio.
Allen Iverson, Memphis Grizzlies
source: Getty Images A.I. hopped around a bit toward the end, but he played just over an hour’s worth of minutes for the Grizzles.
Jason Kidd, New York Knicks
source: Getty Images The New York Knicks are notorious for giving geriatric stars a quick payday.
Carmelo Anthony, Houston Rockets
source: Getty Images The 2018-19 Rockets, on name recognition alone, should have been WAY better.
Scottie Pippen, Houston Rockets
source: Getty Images In between Pippen’s historic Bulls run and late-career stint in Portland, he spent a quick 50 games playing for Houston.
Russell Westbrook, Washington Wizards
source: Getty Images Russ has bounced a lot in his late career, but no stop was weirder than this one season in Washington.
Dennis Rodman, Dallas Mavericks
source: Getty Images Games played for the Mavericks: 12. Technical fouls earned during those games: 6.
Tracy McGrady, San Antonio Spurs
source: Getty Images TMac’s only Finals appearance came with the Spurs. He played a combined 13 minutes in seven games.
Brandon Roy, Minnesota Timberwolves
source: Getty Images The oft-injured star tried to launch an NBA comeback with the Timberwolves. It lasted all of five games.
Gilbert Arenas, Memphis Grizzlies
