Trivia Time - All Time NBA Minutes Leaders

[Redz]

We're working on a list of the Top 20 All-Time total minutes played leaders.  Rattle em off and I'll correct them.

A couple of hints:

1) None are active
2) 10 are currently Hall of Famers

NO LOOKING UP THE ANSWERS - THAT JUST DEFEATS THE PURPOSE

Fire Away

Are ABA minutes included?

Artis Gilmore may make it either way.

[BUTerrier]

Why not.

Let's try Jordan and Moses Malone and the Dream; They all played pretty long careers.

I'm pretty sure Russell's on there, though he'd have to be near the bottom of the 20.

Also, is this just NBA minutes, or does the ABA count as well? Because Artis Gilmore played A LOT of minutes, but most of them came with the ABA.

Just NBA #'s...He'd be there though for combined for sure

[hankfinkel]

Reggie Miller must be there.

MJ played a lot of minutes even with his hiatus.  I'd say he makes it.

Pippen is probbaly there as well.

I was just going to say Miller.

How about Uncle Cliffy and Gary Payton?

[hankfinkel]

Cliff Robinson's career was endless, I would guess he makes it.

I'd probably go for his one-time teammate Drexler as well.

No Wilt?  I'm surprised, I thought he played almost 48 minutes per game.
