Most minutes played in a game in NBA history by player (Associated Content)

There are 48 minutes in every NBA game in regulation. Each overtime played is another 5 minutes. Obviously the more overtimes played the more minutes a player can play in a game. The longest game in NBA history took place on January 6, 1951 when the Indianapolis Olympians defeated the Rochester Royals 75-73 in 6 overtimes. So that game lasted for 78 minutes. It's possible a player or players from that game played enough minutes to make this list but there is no record of that I am aware of.
