1. Earl Barron

If there is a player that could end up on a lot of forgotten lists for NBA teams, Earl Barron would probably be the leader. As a journeyman center that has bounced around the world, Barron has had plenty of stays in the association.

With the Golden State Warriors, Barron played just a matter of weeks. In fact, his 2012 season was one of the most travel-based probably any player has ever had in their career around the globe.

He bounced around multiple NBA teams and around the world. Needless to say, if you blinked you probably missed Barron play for your team. The true art behind his gift was that he still managed to hang around the league for a decade.

To play for so many different teams and live in so many time zones, it’s a true gift that Barron had. It’s a strong indicator of the personal drive that he had to try and collect the paycheck on a weekly basis as a pro.

His time with the Warriors certainly was short and there are probably plenty of fans that forgot he ever laced up a pair of shoes for the team. In the end, he is a forgotten Warrior and has earned a place on this list.
