Michael Jordan scored at least ten points in the 866 consecutive games in his career. This record stood the test of time until LeBron James broke it in March 2018. It took James over a decade to acquire those bragging rights over Michael Jordan, but he did.
James, like Jordan, has always been the top-dog of his team so this record should have some staying power.
Jerry Rice Was A Major Monster
Jerry Rice showed an amazing commitment to the game and to maintain his outstanding records. He led in numerous categories during his career and reached 1,549 career receptions. The NFL champ played for 20 years and turned and throughout was simply the best wide receiver in history.
It was Tony Gonzalez who had a taste of that success at 1,325, but no cigar. Whoever has the ability to better Rice deserves endless praise.
Ledecky, The Human Dolphin

Her world records came in the 400- and 1500-meter freestyles, with times of 3:58.37 and 15:28.36, respectively. There is simply no stopping this woman.
John Stockton Is The Assist King
Aside from Russell Westbrook, players rarely focus on passing and assists. When it comes to John Stockton however, it's a whole different ballgame. His record of 15,000 assists is incredible. To set his stupendous record, Stockton averaged ten assists a game over his career. He also led the league as an assist from 1987 until 1996 and had over 1,000 assists in seven separate seasons.
Jason Kidd hit 12,000, while Chris Paul is the league's active assists leaders with just under 9,000. They still have a long way to go.
Ian Millar Is Magic On Four Legs
In 2012, the Canadian equestrian rider Ian Millar set an Olympic record by making his number 10 appearance in the Olympic Games. The then 65-year-old began his streak in 1972, at the doomed Summer Games in Munich.
There have only been an additional two other Olympians who have made 9 appearances at the Olympics. Ufortauneyly, Millar did not make his 11th Olympic appearance in Rio due to an injury to his horse that will require an operation.
