AC Green: 1,192 games en bloc or 39 celibate years? 

Post#1 » by Point forward » Sat Mar 8, 2008 4:57 pm

If you think about AC Green, what is the first streak that pops into your mind? Is it his "Iron Man" image for playing 1192 consecutive games or his "Iron Maiden" image, staying a virgin in the macho NBA until his marriage at age 39?

I admit I think of latter, but in respect. It way better than guys like Kemp, Magic, Kobe and many more, who got a lot of trouble for doing things with women other than their GFs/wives.

The no sex streak comes to mind first, just because he's about the only player I can ever remember that did it.

There are people who only know about Green because of his long years of sexual abstinence.

Exactly. Holding the games streak is nice, but no sex until 39 is just so rare that people remember it.

Playing with chronic hiccups was the most impressive feat.
