How fitting that I run into former Los Angeles Lakers (Mr durability) this weekend in the Atlanta airport especially because of the matchup this year in the NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Celtics… AC Green played more consecutive games than any other player in the history of the NBA. He won titles in LA and now he’s winning the hearts of lnner city kids by providing them with opportunity and structure through his childrens foundation. You need to check it out, www.acgreen.com. Of course I asked him to offer his thoughts on the Finals this year between the Lakers and Celtics!! His reply,
“Very interesting especially with all the history between the 2 teams”, remember AC is a very religious and spiritual person..he gave no strong prediction just a smile and a back to the future type look as it was hard to imagine he was thinking anything other than all the great teams he played on with Magic, Kareem, Cooper, Scott, etc…you know he’s pulling for LA! and I was really struck by his calm and serious demeanor, it’s the approach that allowed him to play 1,192 straight games from November 19, 1986 to April 17, 2001. I still can’t believe he’s been out of the league since 2001. Keep up the great work, AC!
