Checking the Odometer on Some of Your Favorite Players

Age is one thing. But in terms of NBA wear and tear, games played is another important measure.
I was just talking to my friend Max (who is recovering from -- no joke -- a spider bite that nearly killed him). His near-death experience has made him pretty philosophical, and he was talking about Yao Ming, injuries, and the cost of NBA wear and tear.
He was also talking about players with a lot of miles on the odometer. So I looked it up. Which players have played the most games?
Grant Hill is often seen as one of the NBA's elder statesmen. Here's what I want to know (if you cheat by looking it up, your conscience, and probably some people in the federal government, will know): Which of the following players have played more NBA games than Grant Hill?
  • Allen Iverson
  • Shaquille O'Neal
  • Jason Kidd
  • Kevin Garnett
  • Rasheed Wallace
  • Kobe Bryant
  • Ray Allen
  • Steve Nash
  • Ben Wallace
  • Tim Duncan
  • Erick Dampier
  • Antonio McDyess
Answer after the jump.
The answer is: They all have.
