Players in the "wrong" uniforms


Recommended Posts

In response to the question of players who did a photo shoot with their new team, but never played a game with them, here's my submission from 5 years ago:

Here's one that most people don't remember...

Portland picked up Moses Malone in the ABA dispersal draft, and traded him away before the '76-'77 season started. Just about as bad as picking Bowie over Jordan, IMHO. Enough ranting, here's a pic...

Picture is for bid on eBay.

He did play in the preseason for Portland - in fact, he played so well Jack Ramsey wanted to keep him, but by that point the Blazers had already agreed to trade him to Buffalo. Here's Moses from one of the 2 games he played for the Braves:

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Kenny Lofton

He was actually traded to Atlanta before the '97 season for Grissom and Justice haha.

A lot of people forget, because he ended up in Cleveland for the 1998 season via free agency.
