On this episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast, Jason and Rich explore the legacies of players who accumulated 15,000 minutes for two different franchises.

Only a few players in NBA history have the distinction of playing 15,000 minutes for two different franchises and we’re going to talk about them here! We’ll explore each of these player’s careers, accolades, awards, championships and finally, how important these players were to each franchise’s history.

Which NBA players have built a legacy with two different franchises?

The players highlighted in this portion include Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dallas Mavericks and New Jersey Nets star point guard Jason Kidd, Houston Rockets and Washington Bullets big man Elvin Hayes, former Kentucky Colonels and Chicago Bulls center Artis Gilmore, New Jersey Nets and Portland Trail Blazers’ Buck Williams, another ABA legend in Kentucky Colonels and Denver Nuggets’ Dan Issel, Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers’ Pau Gasol, Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers and Chicago Bulls’ Chet Walker and last but not least Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks’ Dave DeBusschere.

Additional topics including current players such as LaMarcus Aldridge who could potentially reach the milestone with the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers, players who were close but not quite there — Wilt Chamberlain, Carmelo Anthony, Larry Nance and Jeff Hornacek — and how many 15,000 minute players each NBA franchise has and who from the list surprised us.
