What if it was one of the most incredible records in the history of the NBA? Undoubtedly. Will he fall one day?
On April 18, 2001, for his last regular season match and to celebrate his great career, rich in three NBA titles, AC Green compiled 19 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists against Orlando.
At the end of the journey, at 37 spent, he played much less but that day, he had benefited from 37 minutes. The last, which came to validate one of the most prodigious records in the NBA world.
It was then his 1,192nd game, not in a career but disputed immediately! Since November 18, 1986, the winger/interior had not lacked a single meeting. Or 14 seasons in a row without missing a single match. Not an injury, not an illness, not even a blow of soft for fifteen years. The very definition of “Iron Man”.
Can Mikal Bridges catch him?
And as for his first year, he had played the entire season, the three matches he missed in 1986/87 are the only ones in his career. AC Green was therefore present in 99.7% of the possible matches between 1985 and 2001.
He even achieved a fairly special performance: playing 83 games in a season. In 1996/97, he was transferred to Dallas. If we add 56 matches with the Texans plus the 27 already made with the Suns, we are therefore at 83, one more than the 82 regulations.
To better understand the scope of these figures, let us remember that when AC Green set this record, it has erased Randy Smith tablets, blocked at 906 matches in a row, with 286 more than three seasons.
Finally, to compare, the NBA player who currently has the biggest series in the regular season remains Mikal Bridges with “only” 556 matches. And however, he has not missed any meetings in seven years of career.
