11 NBA iron men who played all 82 games this season, including an old and tiny Chris Paul

9 Min Read

Load Management has been a dirty word in the NBA since Gregg Popovich began to rest the regular seasonal games of its headlines to keep the San Antonio Spurs fresh for their 2010 championship races. These days, most of the NBA has realized that the persecution for a ring is a marathon, not a sprint, and does not benefit anyone running to season dog.

Not all NBA players want to take off the games, he thought. There were 11 players who finished the regular season 2024-2025 playing 82 games. These players range from rookies who are still teenagers to a future member of the Hall of Fame to the edge of their 40th birthday. The men of Iron NBAS have a wide range of roles and responsibilities, but all showed up to work every eternal regular season.

Here are the 11 players who play the 82 games in the duration of the NBA in the 2024-2025 season.

Mikal Bridges, G/F, New York Knicks

Bridges has never lost a game in his NBA career. It has appeared in each game during the seven or its NBA seasons. His first year at the Knicks was the most demanding physicist of his career: Bridges led the league with 3,036 minutes, the greatest amount for an NBA player since the 2015-2016 season when James Harden played played. Bridges asked the chief coach Tom Thibodeau to cool in the main minutes of the regular season, but Thibs has no chill. Bridges will have difficult defensive assignments and will provide a secondary score of the Knicks playoffs.

Chris Paul, G, San Antonio Spurs

Paul is the first player to appear in the 82 games in the year 20 or his career. CP3 is still a wonder without age while preparing to turn 40 in May. The chips must be stacked against Paul as a small guard with a limited athletics so late in his career, but he is still one of the most intelligent and intelligent players in the league while he still has a high level of skill. All games began for San Antonio and ended the year with an average of 8.8 points and 7.4 assists per game with 37.7 percent of shooting from a three -point range.

Bub Carrington, G, Washington Wizards

Carrington was the general selection number 14 in the NBA Draft of 2024 that left Pitt. He is one of the young players of the League (he does not turn 20 until July), but that did not stop appearing in each game this season. We had Carrington classified as the 11th best rookie in the league this year for his shooting and gambling. The Wizards remain very far from the dispute, but Carrington should be a piece of rotation and perhaps an initiator to advance.

Jalen Green, G, Houston Rockets

Green is one of the most polarizing players in the league as a microwave scorer who tends to do their best work later in the season when the teams are bewitching or at rest at rest. Even so, the 23 -year -old guard began each game for a Houston team that surprised the league by grabbing the number 2 in the playoffs of the West Conference. Green averaged 21 points per game at 54.5 percent of true shots, which is a few points below the league coverage. The old general selection No. 2 will continue to be under the microscope in the playoffs, and needs to show that it can score efficiently in the games that matter.

Malik Beasley, G, Detroit Pistons

Beasley was one of the best signs of the low season, and should be consulted to a serious candidate to win the sixth man of the NBA year. Its elite shooting capacity has been a crucial part of the rising of the Pistons in a playoff team this year, giving the Cadingham star guard a sniper to space the floor and provide an efficient score. Beasley made the second largest trio in the NBA this year with 319, and hears at an incredible rate of 41.6 percent. One of the best live shooters, and needs to stay hot if Detroit will achieve a discomfort of the first round.

Jarrett Allen, C, Cleveland Cavaliers

The rise of the cavs to a giant of 64 wins under the new chief coach Kenny Atkinson was the best history of the league. Allen is a crucial part of Cleveland’s ‘Core Four’ as a 7 -foot mobile metal that fired 70 percent from the field mainly in assisted dumps while providing rebounds and tire protection. The teams with Evan Mobley to form one of the best and largest front courses of the NBA.

Harrison Barnes, F, San Antonio Spurs

Barnes played the 82 games for the third consecutive season in his first year with the Spurs. The 32 -year -old had the best shooting season of his career by knocking down 43.3 percent of his three batteries in 360 attempts. Barnes’s defense and rebounds feel that they are decreasing a bit, but it is still a useful player in a league where each team wants 6’8 strikers who can stretch the floor.

Jaden McDaniels, F, Minnesota Timberwolves

McDaniels is one of the best defensive strikers in the league. His offensive has more than one mixed bag while fighting with his external shot this year (33 percent of three three), but remains a key piece for a Timberwolves team that makes another trip to the playoffs after the final of the West Conference last year. Minnesota needs McDaniels to settle in the playoffs in an important way while preparing to face the Los Angeles Lakers.

Julian Champagnie, F, San Antonio Spurs

Champagne and his twin brother Justin (member of the Washington Wizards) seem to have found stable houses of the NBA. Julian Champagnie began 29 games for the Spurs this season as a 6’7 shooter who knocked down 37.1 percent of his attempts this year. The Spurs were the only team in the league with three players who played the 82 games.

Buddy Held, G, Golden State Warriors

Held is an Ironman of the underestimated NBA, with this that marks the fourth time in his career he played in each game. The veteran guard fell a little after joining Red accompanies in his first season with the Warriors, but still provided fast -shot shots from the outside by demolishing 37 percent of his three. Caseló the number 16 in the history of the NBA in triple facts, and the 32 years will continue to raise the list.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker, G, Minnesota Timberwolves

Alexander-Walker is a main defensive guard that can also provide a pinch of punctuation and game. The 26 -year -old free agent is a free agent this summer, and is about to collect thanks to its mix of young people (26 years) and bidirectional competition. He shot the ball well doing 38.1 percent of his three of his three this year, and will have the task of blocking some of the best scorers in the world in the playoffs.
