'Hobo' Ryan Hollins tweets that he'll play for food
Center Ryan Hollins is the man of 1,000 NBA teams - or nine to be exact.
The 31-year-old has suited up for the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets), Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards, and Memphis Grizzlies since entering the league back in 2006-07.
Hollins was signed by the Grizzlies three different times during the 2015-16 campaign, but was ultimately waived by the franchise on April 7 for good. Now that he's devoid of any contract, the 7-foot big man is looking for work.

He's only averaged 11.8 minutes of action over the course of his career, which may not seem like a lot. However, to "Hobo" Hollins, that's enough playing time to get paid.

Should no NBA teams come calling, Hollins told his followers on Twitter that he'll write a tell-all book about his journey through the league and hold nothing back.
