Some athletes spend their entire careers with one team, some shockingly leave a team and look funny in a different uniform, and others bounce around from team to team and rack up quite a closet of jerseys worn. There are some athletes that ultimately make their way “home” to a place they were primarily known for playing. Below is a list of athletes that returned for a second stint with the team they were known for playing on.
SCOTTIE PIPPEN – CHICAGO BULLS – Pippen famously won 6 NBA Titles with the Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan. Following the 1997-98 season he was traded to the Houston Rockets. He would spend one season in Houston and four seasons in Portland before returning to the Bulls for the 2003-04 season.
