With Paul Pierce going to the Nets, it shows just how rare you see players stick with the team that drafted them their entire career like Reggie Miller, Bird, etc. Can you see any possible future where Duncan and Kobe don't retire with the Spurs and Lakers?

Damn, you all jumped on that quick. You know what I mean. A player playing his entire career with the same team. Reggie was close to joining the Mavs a few years back too.

*Kobe wasn't drafted by the Hornets/Pelicans,but no.


Nor Wade leaving the Heat or Dirk leaving the Mavs(even though he wasn't technically drafted by them)

Tommy Brady


Troy Brown, Teddy Bru, and Kevin Faulk are some other examples from the Pats that have done it recently

it doesn't really matter though. he was traded before playing so it was as if the Lakers drafted him
