Felipe Reyes has played more than 12,000 minutes and becomes an ACB legend in the process

Fifteen seasons at the top and showing no signs of weariness. Felipe Reyes is giving no indication that he is ready to hang up his boots. And his extensive journey means that he can go on achieving in the game and picking up personal records for his own CV. Real Madrid's captain has become a legend of the ACB having now played more than 12,000 minutes in this competition (12,005 to be precise). He managed this feat after playing more than 18:11 against Mad Croc Fuenlabrada.

Entering the record books of the ACB is no easy task. The competition demands a series of requirements which some players are never able to meet. Others, like Felipe Reyes, enter on two or three occasions on account of their personal achievements. The Real Madrid captain already managed to forge a place for himself by reaching 2,500 rebounds, a hallmark established by the Liga to be considered among the greatest of all time. Indeed, the power forward from Cordoba is the leading scorer of rebounds still playing and he is now bearing down on the 3,500 mark. Now, Reyes has his name in the record books of the national competition again by playing more than 12,000 minutes. The Real Madrid player achieves this feat after completing more than 13 minutes against Mad Croc Fuenlabrada, which is just what he needed to hit this landmark figure. The Real Madrid player was actually on the court for a total of 18:11 minutes which took him to 12,005 minutes in the ACB. 

This figure puts him alongside other Madrid players who achieved it in their day. Reyes thus joins Herreros (19,218); Laso (17,378); José Antonio Orenga (14,671); José Luis Llorente (13,784); José Miguel Antunez (13,633) or Joe Arlauckas (12,595). The next challenge for the Real Madrid captain is to reach 6,000 points as established by the ACB. And, judging by the season he is having, it will not be long before he gets to that figure because he is already on 5,933
