Sports are really incredible for many reasons. For example, just when you think there will never be anyone better, another player makes you question everything.
After Michael Jordan, it was almost a certainty that there would be no one who could get closer to him, then came LeBron James. After Babe Ruth, there was Barry Bonds and then Shohei Ohtani. Sports continue to evolve and records continue to be rewritten.
But what records are these with stone engravings? Take a look:
10 most unbreakable sports records
10. Rickey Henderson: 1,406 stolen career bases
Henderson Personality larger than life was just the tip of the iceberg with regard to his career. It was unstoppable on the basic paths. Never before has a player reached the base and has not quickly transformed a simple into a double or a triple as often as Henderson. Its 1,406 interceptions are 468 more than the 938 interceptions of Lou Brock, the second plus Mlb history.
If you add the four best players in active interception today, they are only 1,191 career interceptions, 215 less than Henderson. Take into account the fact that no active player had 75 interceptions in one season and only one had 70 or more interceptions in a season (Ronald Acuna73 in 2023) and this record seems impossible to exceed.
9. Pete Maravich: 44.2 PPG Average career and 44.5 Average CEO in one season in LSU
Maravich was a special talent and his rating prowess knew no limits. He currently has the three main scores of a season in the history of university basketball, giving him an average career of 44.2 points per game. His best season occurred in 1969-1970, when he set up 44.5 points per game playing for Lsu. Only one player other than Maravich has an average of 40 points per game in a season: Johnny Neumann, who recorded 40.1 points per game for Mississippi During the 1970-71 season, a year after Maravich’s last season at university.
Since 2000, only one player has been able on average even 30 points per game in a season – Chris Clemons, who recorded 30.1 points per game during the 2018-19 season Campbell. This puts both Maravich’s career and the averages of a single season well out of reach for anyone in the predictable future.
8 Cal Ripken Jr.: 2,632 consecutive games played
The sequence of consecutive matches by Cal Riken Jr. played is so outside this world that it is often called “Iron Man” sequence. He appeared in a huge 2,632 consecutive games for the Orioles, extending from the season from 1982 to 1998. He broke the Lou Gehrig record of 2130 games played in the 1995 season, and what is even more impressive, It is because after these two – no one approaches. The third and fourth longer sequences belong to Everett Scott and Steve Garvey. If you combine these two, they add up to 2,514 games, which are still 118 below Ripken. At a time in the sequence, Ripken appeared in a laminate of 8,243 consecutive rounds – breaking the previous record of 5,152 owned by George Pinkney. And for the perspective, he played alongside 150 players of different orioles position during the sequence and eight different managers.
7. Michael Phelps: 28 total Olympic medals won, 23 Olympic gold medals won
The Olympic race united by Phelps is unique. His 28 medals are 10 more than any other participant, but what separates it is his pure domination in sport. Its 23 Olympic gold medals are 14 more than any other athlete! No other athlete in history even has 10 gold medals in Olympic competitions. To put this in perspective, if you add the gold medals of two other famous Olympic swimmers – Katie Ledecky and Mark Spitz, who had nine – they would have 18 combined Olympic gold medals.
6. Nolan Ryan: 5,714 career withdrawals
Everyone knows that Randy Johnson was a stick machine and that Roger Clemens launched, and successfully, for a very long time. Despite this, none is even close to Nolan Ryan with regard to stick withdrawals. The 5,714 Ryan stick withdrawals are 839 more than the 4,875 k of Randy Johnson, the second largest number in the history of the game.
If you take into account the current MLB launcher harvest, the record seems even more inaccessible. Justin Verlander Leads all active players with 3,416 punchies – 2,298 stick withdrawals less than the virgin brand of Ryan.
5. Jerry Rice: 22,895 career reception projects
Easily the best receiver of Nfl History, Rice is in a category of their own. He is the only player to exceed the reception mark of 20,000 yards and has 5,403 yards in advance on Larry Fitzgeraldwhich arrives in second row on the list of all time. This means that even if Fitzgerald had left the retirement and set the record for a season with 2,000 reception yards in two consecutive years, it would still be 1,403 yards equally.
4. Emmitt Smith: 18,355 career sites in career
Smith, longtime time Cowboys The ball carrier was impressive in his career. He played 226 regular season career games and finished with 18,355 absurd ground yards. It is 1,629 yards on the ground more than Walter Payton for most of the history of the NFL.
The logic says that if a ball carrier plays long enough, he could catch Smith, but that is not even true. One of the longest backs in the NFL was recently retired Frank Gorewhich drags it by 2,355 yards on the ground, despite a full season longer than Smith.
A single active ball carrier has even 10,000 yards on the ground: DERRICK Henrywhich ranks n ° 19 in the NFL ranking with 11,423 yards on the ground.
3. Wayne Gretzky: 2,857 career points and 1,963 career aid
Famous nicknamed “The Great One”, Gretzky was at a level all hers. Fantastic hockey had to divide his players’ statistics into assists and goals because he was Also precious as one player. He could swing the whole league. To put the career points and assist the record in perspective, Gretzky is the only player to reach 2,000 points in the history of the In the NHL And exceeded it by 857 points!
To put it in terms of today, Sidney Crosby And Alex Ovechkin Both have more than 1,580 points, while Jarumir Jagr is in second place of all time with 1,921 career points.
Gretzky also holds the NHL record with 1,963 career assists. Only 14 players of all time even recorded 1,000 assists. No one, apart from Gretzky, has succeeded 1,250 assists. For the perspective, his assaessions alone would be more than points What any player in NHL history!
2 Tom Brady: 102,614 career surpassing yards, 737 career TD passes, older QB to win a Super bowl (43 years, 6 months and 4 days), 7 Victoires du Super Bowl, 286 career victories; The playoffs included
Patrick Mahomes Had an electric start to his career, but Brady has established a bar almost impossible to reach. The 102,614 yards per pass Drew brees For the second largest number and more than 23,000 more than Peyton Manning for the third of all time. He also has 129 tds of additional passes than any other QB, the qualifying series included.
The most astonishing thing, however, is that he has 86 more victories than any other quarter. The second place is Manning with 200, which means even if he got out of his retirement and led a team to a perfect 20-0 record in the next four seasons, Manning would still be six victories equally in Brady .
If Manning did this in a way, he would also pass Brady as the oldest quarter to win the Super Bowl, but it is a tall task imagining anyone who defeated Brady in this regard, either. And of course, the seven titles of the Brady Super Bowl are more than any player in the history of the League.
1. Wilt Chamberlain: highest PPG in one season (50.4), the highest average MPG in one season (48.5) and most points in one match (100)
This should be a shock for anyone that Chamberlain is first in several places. Its average of 50.4 points per game in one season is ridiculously good, considering only “Wilt the Still” even has an average of 40 points per game in a season. James Harden The rise in power during the 2018-19 season put it at 36.1 points per game, 14.3 per match less than the best year of Chamberlain.
Everyone also knows their game of 100 points, which is a remarkable feat; The only player to reach 80 points was Kobe Bryant, with his 81 -point dam in 2006.
The most unbreakable, however, could be its average of 48.5 minutes per game, since the NBA matches last only 48 minutes. It would take a long time, and these players should play every minute of each match in addition.
Honorable mentions:
- Bill Russell: 11 NBA championships
- Cy Young: 749 complete games
- Barry Bonds: 73 circuits in a single season
- Joey Chestnut: 83 hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes
