Steve Smith.  Better known as a Edmonton Oiler, he banked the puck in off of Grant Fuhr, who also ended up playing for the Flames, into his own net.  It ended up being the game winning goal in game 7 of the Smyth Division finals (2nd round) in 1986, costing Edmonton.

Chauncey billions as a Celtic, I never remember him playing for them but they just mentioned it on espn and had to look it up

He was Rick Pitino's first pick in that big draft where they had three first round picks but could not net that lottery pick to get Tim Duncan.  A year later Pitino, trying to prove his worth as a GM, started wheeling and dealing players away and he traded Chauncey away.  Pitino was a huge failure as a Celtics coach and worse as the GM.

Jim Zorn as a Green Bay Packer and a Winnipeg Blue Bomber. Sorry, couldn't find any pictures of him in action with Tampa Bay...

 

Not really 'in action' since he's just kind of standing there, but here's Jim Zorn as a Buc.

Here's Mark Price as a Warrior.

This leads me to a question...

There are plenty of pictures of Price in the Warriors yellow and blue set, but this is the only one I could find of him in this jersey. He only played one season with Golden State (96-97). Did they wear two different uniform sets that year?

That photo must have been from a preseason game in looking him up on basketballreference, Price was traded to Orlando on October 28, 1997 and didn't play any regular season games as a Warrior that year, also with the uniform matchup make sit rare since the Warriors are in their new uniforms they introduced that year while for the Hornets 1997-98 was the first year of the set they wore their last five years in Charlotte but were still wearing their old alternate purple in the preseason.
