On this week’s episode of Over and Back, Jason and Rich examine the longest tenures with an NBA team in history, discuss Dirk Nowitzki setting the NBA record for most seasons with one franchise, other players who stayed with one franchise for their entire careers and those with long tenures on a team but who couldn’t quite finish their career with just one.

Players and topics discussed include Kobe Bryant’s mid-2000s trade demand, Tim Duncan nearly jumping ship to Orlando, whether Reggie Miller’s flirtation with the New York Knicks was real, Manu Ginobili turning down the Philadelphia 76ers, Larry Bird’s rumored trade to Indiana, Magic Johnson’s famous trade demand, how the hell Jeff Foster lasted as long as he did on the Pacers, a rumored Julius Erving to the Clippers trade that would have made us all miserable and much more.
