A.C. Green of the Dallas Mavericks set a remarkable record last season, playing in his 907th consecutive game, an NBA record.

A.C. is proud of that mark. But he's even prouder of this: He's almost 35 years old, and still a virgin. In the fast and loose world of the NBA, where gorgeous young women are a constant temptation, that's a remarkable record.

During his rookie year with the Los Angeles Lakers, A.C.'s teammates said he'd never be able to keep his vow to save sex for marriage.

"We're going to give you six weeks," they told A.C., according to a Sports Illustrated article. "You'll see this girl come into the Forum. You'll start getting your paychecks."

A.C. has seen plenty of girls and paychecks--and remained abstinent all along.

"Abstinence before marriage is something I very much believe in," A.C. says. "Responsibility is the main issue, being responsible for the decisions that you make, realizing that every decision has a consequence."

The abstinence streak? It's up to 12,702 days today, and counting.
