Top 5 NBA Players that Played for the Most Teams
The NBA player that played for the most teams is a four-way tie between Chucky Brown, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenburg, and Joe Smith. Each of these players has played with twelve NBA teams throughout their career.
With four of the top five already being distinguished, there is another tie for the SECOND most teams a player has played for. Mike James, Kevin Ollie, and Ish Smith have all played for eleven teams throughout their career. However, because Ish Smith's career is still ongoing, he still can beat the record. As a result, we'll be including Ish Smith instead of Mike James and Kevin Ollie for the fifth spot.
