The saying goes records are meant to be broken, but here are 10 sports records that will never be broken.
1. Boston Celtics: 8 straight NBA titles
The Boston Celtics, led by Bill Russell, was the NBA's first dynasty. The closest any other NBA franchise got to 8 consecutive titles were both the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers (1952-1954 and 2000-2002) and the Chicago Bulls (1991-1993 and 1996-1998) with 3 twice.
2. Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game
Wilt Chamberlin put up video game like numbers throughout his entire hall of fame basketball career. So it was no surprise to me that he was the guy that put on such a spectacular individual performance. His career averages include 30.1 PPG (Points Per Game) and 22.9 RPG (Rebounds Per Game). On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlin scored 100 points in a single game vs. the New York Knicks. Out of the top 20 scoring performances in a single game in NBA history, Wilt Chamberlin has 15 of them, including 4 of the top 5. Kobe Bryant is second on the list with 81. Last season, the most points scored by a player in a game was Devin Booker with 70.
3. Ted William’s .406 single season batting average
Ted was truly a student of the game. After every at bat, he would go back to the dugout and write down in his notebook where every pitch was thrown to him and what he did with each pitch. He was able to see the ball like no other baseball player ever had.
4. Cy Young’s 511 career wins
Since that
5. Brett Favre’s 321 consecutive games started
During that span, he played in 297 regular season games and 24 playoff games. Brett Favre wasn't just an NFL iron man but an iron man's iron man. He took all of his snaps at quarterback when everyone on the opposing defense would try to tackle him to the ground on every play. A lot of these people going after Favre were around 300 pounds and pure muscle. One example to show how tough Brett Favre was, was during the 2009 NFC championship game, Favre was the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. His team was facing the New Orleans Saints who ended up being found guilty to what is now known as the Bountygate.
The New Orleans Saints Bounty scandal was when the team would give bonuses to their players if they injured an opposing team's player. During the NFC championship game, Favre took a beating. It went as far as Favre having to be taken out of the game to be checked out by the team’s medical staff. After being examined, he went back in as soon as possible. An iron man isn't just physically touched, but also mentally. On the day before a Monday Night Football game vs. the Oakland Raiders, the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback’s dad passed away. Brett went on to not only just play in that game but play the best game of his life.
6. Tom Brady’s 25 playoff wins (and counting)
You can say what you want about Tom Brady, but he is a 5-time Super Bowl champion for a reason. He plays his best football during the postseason. There is only one other quarterback, Joe Montana (24), that is within 8 wins of Brady. Terrific Tom holds the postseason record in each of the following stats categories: completions (831), passing yards (9094), passing touchdowns (63), fourth quarter comebacks (7), and game winning drives (10).
7. Wayne Gretzky’s 2,857 career points
Wayne Gretzky was just in a league of his own. He is undoubtably the greatest hockey player of all time. We have never seen a more dominant hockey than Gretzky. He had either assisted or scored a goal 2,857 times. The next closest is Jaroimir Jagr, who is only a mere 943 points away with 1,914 points.
8. Micheal Phelps’ 28 Olympic medals
Michael Phelps is known by many as the greatest Olympian and also arguably the greatest athlete of all time. During the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the U.S. swimmer was at his peak when he won a record 8 gold medals. Phelps has won a record 28 medals (23 gold), and the next closest Olympian is Larisa Latynina, a gymnast from the Soviet Union.
9. Byron Nelson’s 11 tournament win streak
After the 1945 Canadian Open, Nelson had won 11 consecutive golfing tournaments that he participated in. The golfer that had the best chance to break that record was Tiger Woods, who had both a 7 and a 6 tournament win streak, but his better golfing days appear to be behind him now.
10. UConn Women’s Basketball 111 game winning streak
The UConn women's basketball team is the most dominating sports program in the history of college athletics. All they do is win--literally. Before this winning streak, UConn’s previous longest winning streak was 91. The only team that could possibly beat this record is UConn itself.
