Are you a fan of former Los Angeles Lakers standout roleplayer AC Green? No? Well, guess what pal? You're about to be whether you like it or not.

LeBron James once played in 156 games in a row. Karl-Anthony Towns was at 303 games before a car accident forced him onto concussion protocol. Tristan Thompson got to 447 games all while having 3 girlfriends and hanging out at hookah bars.

But none of these guys are the NBA’s Ironman.

So who holds the record? And what’s the record? 600, maybe 700? Nope. Try 1,192 games. Now try doing that on a few hours of sleep every night with a medical condition that forces you to workout to avoid hiccups.

To put that into perspective, using some simple common core math, moving the three, divided by a helicopter missing a blade, times 82 games, minus that time Ed Sheeran appeared on an episode of Game of Thrones,  that equates to 15.5333 – repeating, of course – NBA seasons.

The man who set this record is none other than former Lakers player three-time NBA champion AC Green, AKA “Iron Man”. AKA the least famous meaningful member of the Showtime Lakers, AKA Mr. No Booty..

How is this record even possible? Players today can barely play back to backs, with all the “load management” going on.

Because he was a man! That’s how. You damn millennials and need for long term health and general life balance…how dare you not subscribe to burnout culture, doing the work of four full-time jobs for the pay of one, all while being yelled at by your boss.

AC Green was cut from a different cloth. In fact, he didn’t have many traits similar to NBA players today. Here’s an inside look at the man who set an NBA record that will never be broken, and likely won’t even be threatened…because the world is full of lazy millennials, you ruiners of overpriced fast food establishments that also refuse to overpay for a house.

Sorry, I promise that’s it about millennials.

AC Green grew up in Portland Oregon, where he excelled as a student and ballplayer. Basketball games weren’t the only event he never missed: Per Green, he never missed a class in school either. So even at a young age, Green had set a standard that he would follow with unrelenting precision.

Another fact about Green that could’ve helped him get all the way to just under 1,200 straight games was his unrelenting faith. A religious Christian, Green claimed he was very close to turning down basketball to take a life in the church. However, his pastor convinced him to go play the game he loved and honor God through his play, because as we all know, God prefers to watch basketball more than any other sport. Huge Knicks fan, for some reason. Think he enjoys those who are forever wallowing so close to purgatory, but are forever attempting to get into heaven? You know, Knicks fans.

Green certainly took this to heart. A.C. refused to miss a game from his second season on, and still considers his belief to be something that pushed him to such a lofty goal.

Because he was so focused on making an impact on literally every single basketball game he was eligible to play in for 13 years, Green had no time for distractions. When teammates went out after games to drink and party, A.C. would prefer to stay at home and memorize scripture. When the team was on the road, he’d set up bible study classes.

Essentially, he was your great Aunt Ethel. But instead of skipping bingo at the hall to teach bible study, Green skipped the infamous Lakers sexcapades in order to memorize some words in a bible.

His teammates, thinking they could snap him out of this, would frequently mess with Green. One common ploy was to send women to his hotel room in order to seduce the forward. Green was not married, so it’s not like he had anything to lose. But he had sworn abstinence until he was married, and according to his biography, he succeeded.

There was one thing that almost destroyed Green’s legendary streak, however. It wasn’t a man, or a drink, or a drug. Instead, a disease called singultus was the malady that threatened A.C.’s run the most.

Singultus is a rare disease, but not a terrible one. It’s actually just another word for chronic hiccups. This sounds kinda silly, but it caused Green to constantly hiccup unless he was doing physical activity. This meant that hiccups kept Green from getting sleep for more than two hours at a time.

Now, circling back here a little bit, if physical activity was the only cure, maybe he shouldn’t have avoided the infamous Lakeshow nightlife so much.

Instead of using it as an excuse, Green pushed through it and eventually got rid of the diseases, but this was after his playing days. During his entire streak, it is estimated Green got no more than a few hours of rest a night.

There are a few factors in Green’s life that allowed him to become the most durable player in NBA history. To be honest, it’s very unlikely that another guy comes across with the same attributes Green showed in his playing days. Good luck convincing an NBA player nowadays to stay in to memorize the Bible while his buddies are sending him hookers and are out partying with celebrities.

So you can place a pretty good bet that AC Green will be the record holder for at least the entirety of your lifetime, mostly only because AKA Mr. No Booty is as unique as a snowflake.

Also, because you cowardly millennials prefer to eat your avocado toast and – alright, alright, alright I’m done.
