Ironman of the NBA Speaks in Dayton Tonight

 A.C.Green, Ironman of the NBA, Speaks in Dayton Tonight 

Green Makes Trip Back to Gem City After Over a Decade 

A.C. Green, an NBA Champion during the "Showtime Era" led by the L.A.Lakers Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, will speak tonight at the Alzheimers Dinner held at Sinclair College tonight.

Green was a power forward who came from the country and landed in the epicenter of basketball with the Lakers after starring at Oregon State.

He then would win multiple titles (3) with that legendary squad, as he became a important piece of the puzzle that was dominating the 80s basketball scene in the NBA with his rebounding, finishing, and hard work.

But there are two other things about Green that significantly stood out. One was basketball related, and the other was a personal choice.

When it comes to basketball, nobody has played in more consecutive games than A.C. Green.

His record of 1,192 consecutive games played still stands today in the NBA.

  In this era where players takes games off, don't expect anyone to break that record anytime soon. Mikal Bridges is the current active NBA record holder with over 440 games played. 

 In 95-96 J.R. Reid hit him with a dirty play, causing Green to lose 2 teeth as he nearly sustained a concussion. He nearly had his streak broken. 

But alas, the next game, Green would be on the floor, signaling how incredibly tough and focused and his unwavering commitment he had to the game.

Green is also widely known as the player who abstained from having sex until he got married. This had to be a task in itself, with Magic Johnson and the Lakers providing the Show in Showtime on and off the court.

 There were instances when the some of his teammates sent women to meet him, but Green denied these ladies. 

Green would eventually marry his wife (Veronique) in 2002. He is now 60 years old. So Green literally went 38 years before having sex. 

Which could be another NBA record as well.

Green would coach briefly after his basketball career, and now has a flourishing non-profit (A.C. Green foundation) along with being the Director of Sports for the United Basketball Alliance in India.

Green came to be a Host of the Top Talent Basketball Camp over a decade ago, so this will be Greens' first steps back in Dayton since then.

Tickets are still available for the event as Green, Howard, Faith Daniels and others will speak to over 300+ people who will be in attendance tonight.

 A donation is required to attend.
