A. C. Green is one of the most remarkable human beings alive. Born in Portland, Oregon, Green never missed a single day of class in high school. Later, he went on to play four years of basketball at the Oregon State University where he would finish fourth in scoring and second in rebounding in the school's history. Green went on to be selected 23rd overall in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers.
This is where he would earn his nickname 'Iron Man.' Throughout his entire NBA career, Green played 1278 out of 1281 games, missing only three games in the 1986-87 season. In his career, A.C. Green played 1,192 consecutive games where he won three NBA Championships with the Lakers (1987, 1988, 2000) and earned an NBA All-Star roster spot (1990) all before retiring with the Miami Heat in 2001. According to Green himself, he abstained from sex his entire NBA career for religious reasons. Could this be the key to his fountain of youth?
