There have been times a player has bombed a team in the post season and picked up a post season MVP for their troubles. And later that player joined the very team they blasted out of the post season.
That must be odd for a fan base to welcome with open arms the very player that broke their hearts.
Here are the players who won hardware for one team and joined the team they beat.
