On today's episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast, Jason and Rich look at former NBA and ABA players who suited up for five, four and three teams in a single season.

Players profiled include Bobby Jones, Steve Chubin, Ken Wilburn, Rich Johnson, Rod Higgins, Tony Massenburg, Alex Stivrins, Don Boven, Ron Perry, Reggie Johnson, Sam Cassell, Barry Liebowitz, Manny Leaks, Tom Owens and Jim Eakins. In profiling each player we'll look at which teams and how many games they played, standout games, why they bounced around so much as well as career highlights and recaps. How were they before these prolific seasons and how did their careers chart after?

Special attention is given to a few of the ABA players as Jason and Rich try to shine light on the turbulent league: why so many players moved, the instability of franchises and possible profit-focused reasons for the moves.

The episode also features deep dives into Sam Cassell's movement during the 1996-97 season, a changing of the guard in Dallas and why the New Jersey Nets got a gem as well as the odd careers of Tony Massenburg and Rod Higgins who both bounced around the league before carving out a solid, lengthy career.

Other discussions include Rich's rebounding prowess as a 6'0 7th grader, Jason & Rich's "sports" nicknames and much more.
