20 years in the NBA is a rare time for a player, and it requires a player with excellent physical attributes and the ability to earn a place on the team based on individual ability. For example, Wade and Anthony are superstars but they haven't finished yet, and who else can you think of other than James who has completed 20 seasons of his career and is still on the team and can get consistent appearances? At this point, it can be seen that this player's appearance is not something you want to do! So, which player has made the most career appearances in NBA history? If we compare around 1,500 games, do you think there are more players who have done it? The answer is that only five players have done it so far! Is James among them, and if not, how much worse, and can he become the No. 1 appearance when he retires?
Paul is 228 games short
So far in his career, Paul has played for a number of teams, including the New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors, and is also 39 years old, with 1,272 appearances so far, 282 games away from the 1,500-game mark.
Kobe Bryant is 145 games behind
The Black Mamba's career is finally fixed at 20 years, and the 20 years of the Purple and Gold are very glorious, and if it weren't for the major Achilles tendon injury, maybe it would be far more than 20 seasons? In terms of career appearances, Kobe Bryant has played 1,346 games, and he is still 145 games away from 1,500 games, which shows the difficulty!
Duncan is 108 games short
Another representative player of one person and one city, Shi Buddha has the glory of a thousand victories, and in the 19 seasons of his career, Duncan's final appearance is 1392 games, and he still has not achieved 1500 games! So who did it? It was Parrish (1,611 games), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,560 games), Carter (1,541 games), Nowitzki (1,522 games) and Stockton (1,504 games), so Parrish is currently the most played in NBA history!
James is 8 games short
Now that he has played his 21st season, he will continue to play in the coming year, which also makes James expected to break through 1,500 games! The temporary number of appearances in his career is fixed at 1492 games, and the distance from 1500 games is 8 games, and he can undoubtedly complete a breakthrough next season, after all, he can still play for 2-3 seasons at least.
