Which NBA players have played for the most teams?

The preparations for the 2024-25 NBA season are well and truly underway, starting October 22.

While there may be a slight lull in basketball action, the 2025 Summer League is nearing its completion while the 2024 Paris Olympics begins in a matter of days, keeping fans occupied.

But as the mind wonders during the off-season, some questions begin to be asked.

How long will Lebron James play for? Will his son Bronny be any good? Can Nikola Jokic continue his dominance? Will the Celtics go back-to-back?
