No one has come close to Roger Federer and it looks like we will be waiting for quite some time for that to change. Rafael Nadal almost reached that level of success, but clearly just couldn’t make it all the way. The tennis legend spent 237 consecutive weeks as the top player in the association of Tennis Professionals.
Not many reach that number one status and no one holds onto it for that long. The tennis world will lose a phenomenal player once he retires.
Wilt Gets 100
Certainly, one of the most famous basketball records of all time, Wilt Chamberlain's insane skills let him score 100 points in a single game. Keep in mind that this before the three-point line was entered into the game.
Kobe Bryant came close with a score of 81. While that makes Kobe one of the greatest players of all time, Wilts' score almost makes him non-human. Perhaps the NBA will never see another player make it pass 100 ever again.
Richard Petty's Unbelievable Number of Titles
NASCAR driver Richard Petty's seven career titles beat anyone currently active in the game. That might be subject to change with Jimmie Johnson's current path. Still, you could combine all the wins from Johnson, Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have and still be 33 shy of Petty's incredible record.
In order to beat Petty, Johnson would have to conquer that by racing at the same rate until and after his 63rd birthday. Gordon, on the other hand, would have to continue racing until 66 years old.
Georgia Tech Team Were Ferocious In This Historic Beatdown
Legend has it that Georgia Tech had been meaning to destroy Cumberland University ever since the two went head to head for the first time in 1916. Georgia Tech coach, John Heisman, ruthlessly trained his team until they scored 220 points and Cumberland scored zero.
It sounds impossible, but it totally happened and we don't know-how. It's safe to say that revenge was served that day. Never mess with Georgia tech again.
Curry Out Does Himself
Stephen Curry not only broke a record but also out-did himself by 78 threes to secure his spot. The person to come closest to this record was his very own teammate Klay Thompson. The list of top five three-pointers goes as follows: Stephen Curry (402), Stephen Curry (324), Stephen Curry (286), Klay Thompson (276), and Stephen Curry (272).
While Thompson is one formidable shooter, he still is several points away from beating Curry in that regard. Also, the point guard has quite a few more years on the court.
