He needed just 253 games between the tip-off tournament, regular season and playoffs to break the record. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">By comparison, Major <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.gleague.nba.com\/alltime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">ranks<\/a> second all-time in G League games played (401).
