Sħãlïq™ Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 By completing his sixth-straight 82-game season, Derek Fisher has his games played streak all the way up to 495, currently the longest in basketball, dating back to April 15, 2005 (point of reference: the Sonics still had three more seasons to play in Seattle). Fisher moved into pole position this past December when Portland’s Andre Miller missed a game due to an NBA suspension, stopping his run at 632 contests. Historically, former Laker A.C. Green dominates with a remarkable mark of 1,192 (11/19/86 – 4/18/01). Who you think will break AC Green's most consecutive professional games streak.. and when??

?QuestionMark? Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 No one. Even if a guy is healthy he'd get suspended before they get close to the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballorama Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 nobody will ever break it, in today's game it's more likely for a player to be suspended.. no way anyone goes that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Penny Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 How about Fish himself? He's halfway there.Yeah, but remember how old he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah, but remember how old he is.Yep. AC wasn't too young at the end of his streak too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver P Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yep. AC wasn't too young at the end of his streak too. Yes but I think that you miss his point here.. It took 6 years to Fisher to have his games played streak to 495. If he played 6 more years in this league he would have this streak to around 1000. So he would still be around 200 games short of AC's record... So Fisher would have to play around 9 more seasons to get this record. Fish is gonna be 37 next August... So he'd have to play till the age of 46. The oldest player in NBA history was Kevin Willis who played till the age of 44 (it's officially Nat Hickey but he only played one game in the NBA, so I don't think that it really counts..) which is already unbelievable. Not only that but Fish would have to play all those years, while getting older and older, without getting injured once ! So it is honestly just totally impossible for Fisher to break that record.

Dr. Feelgood Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Andre Miller had the best shot until he was screwed over by the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Fisher would have to play about 8 more seasons, wouldn't he? No way he's playing for that long. He'll probably play two more max. I don't see anyone reaching it....at least not any time soon. You have to get to 700 or 800 to really have a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?QuestionMark? Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 WTF?! Three refs, six eyes, and they ALL missed THREE fouls! Wow. Stevie Wonder saw that push and went DAYUM! PS, in an era of highflyers, notice that these ironmen are usually guys that don't rely on athleticism (Fisher, Andre Miller, Gary Payton, Stockton). More highflyers = more risks = more injuries. I don't know if we'll see a guy who can break it in a while since athleticism is becoming more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green, you nitpicking nitpicker), why didn't you lambast Rainbow Dash for it too? It's alright that you didn't know the reference. Don't worry about it. Just stop being so QQ.
