Among all players to average five points per game or less for their careers, Spurs big man Bismack Biyombo has played the second most seasons, at 15. The record is 16 (by Chris Dudley). So far, Biyombo has outlasted 4x all-star and fellow 2011 Bobcats draftee Kemba Walker by 3 years
Biyombo is currently the third string center for the Spurs, averaging 0.7 points. It’s his first full season NBA contract in years - usually he’s the guy teams call up midseason when they need a warm body.
He has lasted 15 years, he got a huge contract once off of a really bizarrely good playoff run of games, he once donated his entire yearly salary to building a school where he was born.
I’m not sure if Biyombo is going to break Dudley’s record. Dudley himself only played three games his last year and didn’t score a point. For the Kemba thing, obviously it was because of injuries, but still something absolutely nobody would have expected.
But for some of his weaknesses (catching a ball, shooting a ball) he’s actually managed to get in an extremely long and profitable career. Fun fact: he’s made over 3x as much in his NBA career as Isaiah Thomas, also from the same draft class.
