Eric V.
Money (born February 6, 1955) is a former American professional basketball player born in Detroit, Michigan. A 6' 0" guard from the University of Arizona, Money played six seasons (from 1974 to 1980) in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Detroit Pistons, New Jersey Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers.
He averaged 12.2 points per game in his NBA career. He is the one of three players in NBA history to have played for two teams in a single game, and the only player in NBA history to officially score for two teams in the same game.
This happened because of mistakes by referee Richie Powers and a subsequent replay of the game in question between the Nets and 76ers.
In time between the NBA approving the Nets' protest of the game and the game being replayed, Money, Harvey Catchings, and Ralph Simpson swapped teams.
(Al Skinner was also traded, but did not see playing time for either squad, making him the only player in NBA history to have an official DNP for both teams in the same NBA game.) Money was one of several professional basketball players to appear in the 1979 film The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh.
