Top 10 Unbreakable Sport Records
Today we're going to get sporty and motivated and talk about some records in sport that are said to be unbreakable nobody will ever ever surpass that now people have said this about many records in the past and then guess what people have gone on to beat them but even so many people say that the records we're about to talk about surely surely they can't be beaten now do you guys agree does anyone wait to find out let's see as we jump into our top 10 unbreakable sports records.
10- Michael Phelps
American swimmer Michael Phelps is often called the greatest Olympian of all time now most athletes would consider it the pinnacle of their career if they achieve a gold medal at an Olympic event the Olympics comes around every four years and so it's considered a huge achievement if an athlete can stay on top of their sport for years and years and earn maybe three four five gold medals drew Michael Phelps career he earned 18 gold medals what the number two spot has nine that's literally half the amount that Phelps achieved it's a fairly recent record Phelps got his last gold medal in 2012 but people are already saying that 18 gold medals for one athlete might just be impossible to beat,what do you think?.
9-The Golden State Warriors win record
At number 9 now we have the Golden State Warriors who hold the NBA record for the most wins in one season an incredible 73 back in 1972 the LA Lakers managed 69 wins in one season and then basketball fans had to wait 24 years but Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls to top that with their 72 wins they were the first team to break 70 wins in one season and many people thought that this was simply unbeatable and they weren't wrong in the last 20 years since then most teams didn't even come close and then in 2016 Stefan curry led the Warriors to 73 wins in one season nobody thought they'd ever see this record be broken a spell you buy this team when curry was asked what the 73 wins meant to him he said it means I am a part of the best team ever and some people are now starting to believe him.
8-Steffi Grafon
Next up a number eight we have legendary tennis player Steffi Graf on August 17 to 1987 she became the number one ranked women's tennis player in the world she held on to that title for almost four years that's absolutely crazy until March 11th 1991 for a total of 186 weeks at the number one spot for many years the closest anyone came to being that dominant in the sport was Martina Hingis but she only managed 80 weeks before being knocked off the number one spot that's not even half of what Steffi Graf managed and Steffi didn't have easy competition it wasn't just like a fluke one of her main rivals was a legend Monica Seles current number one in the world Serena Williams might be the only person who could take this title but she'd have to remain number one until mid-september 2016 only time will tell.
7-Kareem abdul-jabbar
Now number 7 we have Kareem abdul-jabbar who holds the record for the most career points in the NBA history with an astounding 38,000 387 letters of the game like Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O'Neal don't even come close to this even Michael Jordan trails by 6,000 points Kareem was a 7 foot 2 legend of the sport who spent most of his career with the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Lakers finally retiring in 1989 with a whole slew of records including most minutes played and most field goals made he eventually lost those titles over time but today 27 years on nobody nobody looks like they're ever going to be that incredible amount of career points the best hope in almost three decades was Kobe Bryant he was only 5000 points behind Kareem but then he retired in April 2016 and now people are seriously wondering if the sporting record will ever be beaten.
6-the longest tennis match of all time
Now number six we have something I actually remember watching yes I will never forget this tennis match we're about to talk about how could I it was the longest tennis match of all time however you look at it either by time or number of named the 2010 Wimbledon match between American John Isner and French Nicolas mahute is the longest tennis game since records began the game started on a 22nd of June but had to be postponed until the next day because of fading light yes they literally ran out of sunlight then the next day the same thing happened on the third day John Isner finally finally won over the course of those days the match lasted eleven hours and five minutes smashing the previous record by over four and a half hours the score actually got so high that the scoreboard at the event broke yeah it actually just broke because it wasn't programmed to go that high mental.
5-Paula Radcliffe
Being on to number five now we have Paula Radcliffe who currently holds the record for the fastest women's marathon time of all time in 2003 Paul around the London Marathon in 2 hours 15 minutes and 25 seconds beating her own record by more than two minutes that was 13 years ago and nobody has since come close to running 26.2 miles back quickly it's simply amazing that doesn't seem to be any explanation for how Paulette ran that fast other than she was obviously dedicated to it she was obviously built for it and she had an amazing training regime in an interview Paula Radcliffe once joked that her daughter ila who was born in 2007 might be the only person who will beat her own record now you might think that's ridiculous but to be honest it's been almost a decade now and people are starting to believe it.
4-Usain Bolt
And number four we have the fastest man on the planet at the time we're Writing this list Usain Bolt who holds a record for running 100 meters in a mind-blowing 9.5 8 seconds now he actually holds the top three spots for this as if one wasn't enough and he's the only person who seems to be able to beat himself it's been seven years since Usain Bolt broke that nine point six barrier and a lot of people are wondering will anyone be able to even run 100 meters in less than 9.5 eight is it even physically possible in 2008 a mathematician calculated that it might be physically possible for someone to do it slightly quicker but only up to nine point four four seconds now scientists have weighed up a whole bunch of possible conditions to try and predict we'll be possible but the truth is no one knows it seems like the only way for Usain Bolt record to be broken is to just sit and wait but seeing as he's the only competition he has at the moment we might be waiting.
3-Cy young
A while moving on to number three now we're going back in time to talk about cy young and possibly the greatest baseball record of all time during his 22-year long career in the MLB he managed 511 wins I'm pausing for effect that's almost 100 more wins than Walter Johnson who got 417 he was in second place in fact only 24 players have ever managed to break the 300 mark the current leader is Bartolo Colon he's been playing for 19 years and he's only at 219 wins hopefully these figures will give you idea for just how incredible site Young's 511 career winds are for some baseball fans this record is totally unbreakable because the sport has actually changed so much since then for example the threat of the ball leaving the yard was smaller back then the strike zone was larger and the pictures were often told to pitch to contact still what got side this record wasn't necessarily these changes but the sheer durability of the guy he was just so tough most players back then might be lucky to see 15 seasons he saw 22 he got this record and now people think it will remain literally forever.
2-Wilt Chamberlain
Alright guys coming in number 2 now we have a name that any basketball fan will know as one edged into the NBA record books Wilt Chamberlain and his 100 point game in 1961 Wilk shot the world by scoring a staggering 78 points in one game people were amazed and was speculating that perhaps one day maybe 80 points might be beaten just three months later wilt proved that and more was possible by scoring 100 points in his legendary game for the Philadelphia Warriors versus the New York Knicks on March 2nd 1962 the game was not actually televised and no video footage has ever surfaced but there are sound recordings of the games fourth quarter as it was being broadcast on the radio over Wiltse career he racked up at least a dozen NBA records that many now see as being unbreakable but this one is widely agreed as the best in January 2006 the world held its breath as Kobe Bryant played a spectacular game that looked promising to take the title but he still fell short with 81 points it's been 54 years now since we'll set that record but a long time over half a century and people have almost given up on seeing it ever being broken in their lifetime it's a truly incredible statistic .
1-Wayne Gretzky
And finally at number one we've got a hockey player that became so legendary in his sport he's often referred to as quite simply the great one but you might know him as Wayne Gretzky during his 20-year long career between 1979 and 1999 he racked up more NHL records than anyone thought possible but many are most impressed by how many career points he took away a mind-bending 2,850 seven of them that's more than 1,000 more than his nearest contender in second place the average number of points that professional hockey player gets per season is about 112 now they managed to bring that up to an impressive 140 and then consistently did that for about 20 years they still wouldn't be able to beat Wayne Gretzky's record how crazy is that it's a simple fact that he is so far ahead of anyone else and has been for 17 years since you retired that makes people seriously doubt this record will ever be broken they don't call you the great one for nothing.
