kimball Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Interesting. I wanted to find out which current coach has played for the most NBA teams. It seems like Tyronn Lue is the champion with 7 teams (two stints with the Magic). Then a close second is Earl Watson is with six (two stints with the Sonics/Thunder -- though should we count those as separate?) and Steve Kerr (with two stints in San Antonio) "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

kimball Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Oh, I forgot about the illustrious career of Scott Brooks. He too spent his career with six NBA teams as well ...

kimball Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 There have been a number of head coaches who have played for the same team. I got most after about 1969--ish (some before). The only one I couldn't find was a clear picture of Bob Cousy in a Royals' jersey. Magic Johnson, John Lucas, Tyrone Corbin (Kings and Jazz), Byron Scott and Reggie Theus Paul Westphal, Danny Ainge, Frank Johnson, Jeff Hornacek, Luke Walton and Kurt Rambis Avery Johnson, Rudy Tomjanovich, Rick Adelman (Rockets, Blazers and Kings) and Sidney Lowe. Mike Dunleavy, Jerry West, Doc Rivers, Chris Ford, Dave Cowens and Al Attles. Lenny Wilkens (Sonics, Blazers and Cavs), Mo Cheeks and Bob Weiss (Braves/Clippers and Sonics). Nate McMillan, K.C. Jones, Sam Mitchell, Dan Issel, Larry Brown and Doug Collins. Darrell Walkers, Wes Unseld, Jacque Vaughn, Fred Hoiberg, Peye Myers and Bill Cartwright. Mike Woodson, Michael Curry, Ray Scott, Mel Daniels and Scott Skiles (Bucks and Magic). Jason Kidd, Larry Krystowiak, Fred Carter, Bill Cunningham and Kevin Loughery (Bullets and Sixers). Dolph Schayes, Herb Williams, Pat Riley, Willis Reed, Tony Brown and M.L. Carr. Tom Heinsohn, Satch Sanders and Bill Russell.

The whole thing is the player coached the team he's playing for in the picture, they're not connected in anyway, i think thats just how he grouped them. Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

I am now curious to see how many former Sun players are or have been head coaches? I wonder which team has the most? My money would probably be on the Lakers? Pat Riley, Magic Johnson, Byron Scott, Luke Walton, Michael Cooper, Derek Fisher, Jerry West, etc. etc., etc. Man, now I need to know. lol "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."
