Shaq didn't get traded (again) of course. He's still a Sun. But the idea of him playing for a 5th team got me thinking...
Playing for more than 3 teams in one career is usually the mark of a mediocre journeyman, not a (future) Hall of Famer, which Shaq easily is.
Help me think of some more top level athletes who've played for quite a few teams.
Shaquille O'Neal - Magic, Lakers, Heat, Suns
Nolan Ryan - Mets, Angels, Astros, Rangers
Rickey Henderson - A's, Yankees, A's, Blue Jays, A's, Padres, Angels, A's, Mets, Mariners, Padres, Red Sox, Dodgers :icon_eek:
Roger Clemens - Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees, Astros, Yankees
Dennis Eckersley - Indians, Red Sox, Cubs, A's, Cardinals, Red Sox
I guess it's more common in baseball? Longer careers.
