[Hebrews 11:6]

Another professional athlete who was a well-known self-proclaimed Christian virgin was A.C. Green of the LA Lakers. "During his playing days, his teammates would frequently send women to tempt him to compromise his morals. Green would respond by calmly quoting scripture."

He finally married after he retired, when he was 38. Whether his all-time consecutive-games-played record of 1,192 resulted partly from getting a good night's sleep is speculative. Still: "Green suffered from singultus, or chronic hiccups, during his NBA career, the hiccups only stopping when Green was running or working out. Reportedly, Green never slept more than two hours at a time due to the condition. He has since recovered."

It may be a coincidence but throughout history most personal greats occur *before* a woman enters the picture.
