The list at left includes the NBA players that played in all 82 regular season games.
Certainly some injuries cannot be avoided. Also, a player has no say whether or not a coach will use him in every game.
That being said, playing all 82 games in a NBA season is a feat that is accomplished annually by roughly only 10% of the over 400 NBA players. Toughness counts, so does not getting suspended for any reason, be it on the court or off the court.
The guys listed on the left earned the right to be call PROFESSIONALS.
ISM's
There was not one member of the LA Clippers, New Jersey Nets, Portland Trailblazers, or Cleveland Cavs that played all 82.
Washington had one player play in all 82 regular season games; 40-year-old Michael Jordan.
