5) Chucky Brown

13-year NBA veteran Chucky Brown carved out a long career as a serviceable backup for a staggering number of teams. Brown played for a jaw-dropping 12 teams, almost one team per year, so it's not nearly as impressive or surprising that he happened to play for the Spurs, Mavericks, and Rockets during his career.

Brown's introduction into the Texas Triangle came in 1993–94, when he played just one game for Dallas. As with many players who play for one Texas team, his next stop was with another in-state franchise, the Rockets.

By the time he joined the Rockets, he was already on his fifth team in five seasons and while he only played a season and a half worth of games, he had a memorable time there. He started most of his time in Houston alongside Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon, including on their 1995–96 team that won the championship as a sixth seed.

Brown would later play for the Spurs in 1999–2000 with Hall of Famers Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker, but he lasted only 30 games. In total, Brown played 154 games in four years with Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, with a championship to show for it.
