AC Green holds the record for consecutive games played at 1192. Mikal Bridges holds the active iron man streak, having never missed a game in his NBA career.

Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak September 6, 1995, playing in his 2,131st consecutive game. When Ripken's streak started on May 30, 1982, most of his teammates on that 1995 team were in elementary school. Ripken's streak is more than twice that of third place holder Everett Scott (1,307, which is still the National League record set between 1916-1925). It's also believed that during his streak, Ripken played 8,264 consecutive innings, though MLB does not recognize that as an official record.
The current MLB consecutive games leader is Matt Olson with 438 straight.
Also, the longest professional baseball game lasted 33 innings and a 2-month suspension to complete (Started April 18, 1981, suspended at 4:07am on April 19, completed June 23). Guess who played every inning of that game....
