Its honestly not worth debating. A lot of these are not actually untouchable. The top 2 for sure will never be touched. Unless goalies pads change or something weird like that.
no one will ever break Cy Young's record either. Most pitchers are lucky to win 200 games in their career. Both Gretzky and Young played in times that were so different than they are now....it does not change their numbers/accomplishments.
gamelvr1 Forgive me oh mighty all knowing guy who never before misinterpret anything.. I got it wrong, sometimes it happens to people who don't have english as first language, you could have just pointed out that it was career highs, as i did not understood it was, without being a dick.
Meow said Da Dog And yet another... I'm not english, i red it, and didn't understand it was carrer, when i first saw it i interpret it as "Records made during the carrer" get it now?
How the hell was Joe DiMaggio's hit streak not on this? His streak is probably the most improbable record of all time and I would be in total disbelief if anyone ever came close to touching it. Also, Wilt's 100 points in an NBA game is unbreakable and should be on this list.
gamelvr1 No I'm not. You're replying to a comment where all I said was great choices. Don't be calling me an idiot. You're an idiot for replying to the wrong comment. Reply to Alex Spofford. Not me. I didn't say those things you douchebag!
georgyorgy2 Wow! You're exactly like gamelvr1. I clearly did not say those things. Alex Spofford said them. Not me. Don't be calling me a dimwit when you are the one dumb enough to reply to the wrong person.
Meow said Da Dog wayne gretzky has said it himself that he wouldnt have gotten nearly as many points in today's nhl, as it was much easier to score when he played
Do the math. If he didn't have a way shorter season compared to him and as he wasp threading before his first retirement in a few more years Mario would've surpassed him. You can not believe me all you want but that's it what everyone agrees is that Mario would've beaten him
+Hockey_Hines14 Which Math are you talking about? Cause Gretzky's 1.92 ppg, is better than Lemieux's 1.88... It's hard to argue against the greatness of Lemieux, he is a close 2nd for greatest player ever... (Orr #3)... Gretzky had a 5 year period that he averaged more than 200 points a year... Lemieux only came close to the mark once... If it was as you say, and only a few years away... Lemieux would have had to score at the level of Gretzky's prime scoring rate for 5.5 years... this seems unlikely. It seems equally unlike that he would keep the same points per game, but assuming he did... he would require 603 games to catch Gretzky... That's 7.3 years if he played all 82 games for all the years... He never managed to play a full schedule though... So this would likely take him something closer to 11 seasons... If his points did start to slip though, to say... the rate of his final real/healthy season... it would have taken him closer to 16 years... It seems unlikely he would have played that long. Career vs Career = Gretzky Prime vs Prime = Gretzky Game vs Game = Gretzky Any given play vs Any given play = Lemieux
ed young EXACTLY!!! WITH TODAYS WIMPY ASS CENTERS HIS REBOUNDING RECORD WILL STAND FOR CENTURIES AND HIS 100 POINT GAME??? OUT OF THE QUESTION!!! Emmitt Smith and John Stocktons records and breakable.
Ya but wilt played in a time where basketball wasn't evolved to where it is today. The average player back then wasn't near what the average player is today. If he was playing by today's standards he wouldn't have that record
gamelvr1 I didn't say he did, you fucking nincompoop. Was just pointing out that IF it included non-Americans, Bradman wouldve been in it as its the most ridiculous record ever
People don't realize how significant Wayne Gretzky's records are. The guy Broke the all time record in points in his sport in less then 10 years. As great as Jordan, Smith,Kareem,Ruth,Williams,Rice, andManning are they where not that dominate in there sport like the Great One was, let me explain in detail: When Gretzky played for the Oilers, he won the MVP 8 times in a row and Art Ross trophy(most points) 7 times in a row. He scored 200 or more points 4 times in his career, no one ever did that once. Before or after. He practically has all the playoff scoring records too. When it came to scoring and being productive he will always be the GOAT then and now.
boskey10 were not talking about Ruth we talking about typing the greatest pitcher of all time by far like he that record will never like the their is a better chance of a human touching the sun naked that someone breaking the record the next close is Bartolo colon with 203 in his 23 year career he'd be 69 when he would break the record which will never happen
This video is only "North American" because Americans are so conceited and self centered so they are unable to appreciate anything foreign because in their mind their sports are the only ones that matter. Hence "World series" and champions of American Leagues are often regarded as "world champs".
DanG Gaming its not a record and as the other guys said, only nordamerican leagues and i dont know have many messi and ronaldo scored till now, so maybe its beatable
Wow i find it funny that they only limited it to North America. Because Pele being the highest scoring soccer player of all time would take the number 1 spot seeing that soccer is the most played sport, that record has the highest impact
Wilt holds the record for Most rebounds ever and most average rebounds. Sure Russell was close but they are both retired and no one has come anywheres close since then.
Richard Petty - Most Laps Led Along with scoring 198 of his 200 wins with Petty Enterprises, Richard Petty set an astonishing record in North American motor sports with 51,039 laps led with a single team. The only other driver to come close to only half of that is Jeff Gordon with 24,664 laps led with Hendrick Motorsports. While he is an active driver who has the chance to at least lead half as many laps as Petty, it's unlikely he'll get any closer than that as he is nearing the end of his own amazing career. Petty's record is likely to remain untouched.
RyanTR Caton Yeah. It said "professional team sports," so I wasn't sure if I should focus on all of Petty's 200 wins since he got 2 of those on a different team. I figured this video was about unbreakable records by an athlete on a single team. And 198 wins with Petty Enterprises is by far an unbreakable record.
Gretzky's points record becomes even more incredible when you start to break down some of the records it represents. 92 goals in a season. 163 assists in a season. 215 points in a season. 50 goals in 39 games. 12 consecutive 40 goal seasons. 13 consecutive 100 point seasons. 4 times over 200 points in a season (the only player to do it even once). 7 consecutive NHL scoring titles. 8 consecutive NHL MVP awards. And all this while being perhaps the greatest ambassador any sport ever had. No man in the history of sport has ever been so humble when he had so many reasons not to be. For all of his talent on the ice the most amazing thing about him is what an incredible human being he was and is.
Emmitt Smith's record will be broken Im sure. They cant say he did it because he had a stacked team over all those years because Barry Sanders would have set the record and Emmitt would have been 2nd if Barry hadnt retired early. Barry was on the Lions and the Lions sucked
Max Gee lol that's 1 of the dumbest things Ive ever heard. Demarco Murray isnt even in the top 100 players for career rushing yards. He's not even close to breaking the record.
theone2225 Oh, it's career! Oh crap, I didn't get that... Yeah, of course not, but he beat Emmit's record for most rushed in a single season, and most 100+ yard rushes in order from the first game onward.
I thought the same thing, but then realized they specified career records. DiMaggio's hitting streak will never be broken, but that's a single season record not a career record.
Thing is, no one cares about cricket or waterpolo... The most records in the worlds most loved games are made in North America. The sports there are like they're on another planet compared to Europe for example
SkullGamer 50 a game is much more unbreakable than 100 in a single game. Bryant had 81, while still 19 away, it shows that number is in the ballpark. Now to average 50 points per game that's unimaginable.
Man all these are insane. But I honestly tripped out when they said that even without his goals, just purely off assists Wayne Gretsky would still lead the NHL in points. That's mind blowing 🤯🤯🤯
Mr. Mindware Idk for sure. I'd love to see it since Wilt's 100 point game was before my time but basketball has changed greatly since then. The closest person to beating Wilt was vintage Kobe with 81. My father said he remembered watching one game (a few weeks after kobe's 81 point game) where Kobe put up 72 points and sat out the whole 4th quarter. If Kobe couldn't quite do it, however, I think Steph is our next best shot
Brendan Carter yea, Stephen curry has the highest percentage chance of making it to a 100 points in a game, than anyone else. Imgine if he shot three pointers the whole game, no misses, played all quarters....wow. I can only imagine
I think Lemeuix should've had an honorable mention on number 2.. I hate the Penguins and everything about that organization, but he (and Jagr) were insane, and he would've probably beat Gretzky's record if not for cancer...
His average points per game were 1.88 to Gretzky's 1.92, so he probably wouldn't have. Regardless, you're right; he and Gretzky were in a league of their own.
What about wilt chamberlain? 50.4 ppg? I think 52 rebounds in a game? Most points in a season? 22.9 rebounds per game? 100 points in 1 game? Most ppg by a rookie? Most free throws in a game (28)? Most double doubles? He should be on this list.
Richard Petty should be there with his 200 wins. A feat that will never be topped. The next closest is David Pearson with 105 and the next closest active is Jimmie Johnson with 77.
Not only will no one break Cy Young's wins record, but no pitcher will even come close to sniffing his throne. Pitchers simply won't have the arms to last half that long. It's already a rare feat to reach 20 wins in a season now. 20-year careers for any pitchers are a blessing. To think a pitcher has to average 20 wins for 25 years and STILL not catch him? Impossible.
Times have changed. Back in the early 20th century, pitchers would be in the game for the full 9 innings. But now with all injuries and big salaries, pitchers are kept very safe.
well it's more that when Cy Young pitched, pitchers would pitch more often. Some pitching staffs only had 3 starting pitchers, so he'd pitch every 3rd or 4th game. He averaged almost 40 Games Started a season, which obviously gave him more opportunity to Win games. Along with being used as a relief pitcher at times which he won games as, as well. The Statistics weren't kept, but had they been, it could be argued Satchel Paige's WIn, Strikeout, Shutout and No-Hitter totals would eclipse Young, Johnson and Ryan's records on this list. For one, he would often pitch everyday, thus he would have had that many more opportunities to compile the statistics for those records. And the fact he pitched well into his 40's.
Emmit Smith's record can be contributed to the assistance of Moose Johnston. Without him, Emmit wouldn't have come close to touching Payton's career rushing yards record.
where is Richard Petty he has most wins in a season with 27 and most over all wins with 200 and that's saying something sense most NASCAR drivers are lucky to win 1 or 2 races a year and about 40 there whole career
I call Bullshit on #10 Emmit smith's record, Both Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson would have dwarfed his record had they played long enough. Not to mention Adrian Peterson is over 10,000 yards after only 7 seasons
gamelvr1 Bo Jackson had a 5.4 yard per carry lifetime average.. oh wait I suppose youre right because He played for the Raiders; A team with two hall of fame calliber running backs that would still pass more than run. I forgot about that
gamelvr1 smith has no reason to be on the list he stayed way past his time just to break walters record which in my eyes no way to earn a record so in my eyes smith will always be number 2
Good one Franco...I missed that one. But, the sport of nascar(which I used to love but now hate) has changed since Petty. That being said, it should have been included in the list.
I think it's more conceivable that someone would break Nolan Ryan's no-hitter record sooner than his career strikeouts. He averaged almost 220 strikeouts per season for a quarter of a century, which is a testament to his talent and longevity.
gamelvr1 lets play guess the nationality. you're an American, you have no concept of humour or irony, and nothing better to do than insult people over the internet. You think I don't know who fucking Iron Man is? You think the term "iron man" is diverse and used across all of time and space by all peoples? Precisely how would someone be both insane and narrow-minded simultaneously? And moreover, why the fuck do you care so much about it? And just to get it on record, the term is longevity, not iron man. Iron man records would be those that apply to iron man contests such as those held in Hawaii et al. Now kindly fuck off
gamelvr1 anyway what's your problem? trying to sound smart on a youtube video? it's easy to forget they mentioned the iron man thing, and calling someone "unbelievably dense" for something like that is typical of people who want to seem smart due to their insecurities. I think you owe lucyxism, me, and everyone else you made cringe an apology for your stupidity, but I guess your silence says it all
Cals record is my single favorite of all sports being that it is a record for us lunch pailers showing up for work and doing your job as best you can every day. It doesn't require speed or power just a strong work ethic (and health). It is a record we all can strive for. But the video clearly states at the beginning that records for just longevity are not included so that would rule the ironman out.
From the beginning, the narrator said that she was not going to include "iron man" records. That's why Ripken wasn't added. Otherwise, it would definitely be worthy of acknowledgement. The plain truth is that, if they weren't trying to spread the love to several different sports, nearly all the most unbreakable records would belong to baseball.
My grandfather knew ty cobb, because he owned a bar next to the old tigers stadium, and ty cobb would got to the bar after every home game, and they became friends
Wilt's rebounding record? When someone would have to average 20+ rpg for their whole career and the league's best rebounder is averaging 15 a game now a days there's no way it'll ever be broken
He was saying that a player would have to average over 20 rebounds a game for their career to even come close to Wilt Chamberlain's record. Chamberlain had 23,924 rebounds. To put that into perspective, Tim Duncan was the closest active player until retiring this year, and he only had 15,091 rebounds. Shaq only had 13,099 for his career. Even Kareem playing for as long as he did only managed 17,440 rebounds. With the slower pace now there is pretty much no way for anybody to even come close to touching his record. Stockton's assists record will be gone long before anybody even gets within 5,000 rebounds of Chamberlain. His record is pretty much a permanent fixture in the record books.
Sachin Tendulkar - 14000 runs in test cricket. Manchester United - 20 time EPL Champions. Muttiah Muralitharan - 1000 test cricket wickets. Michael Schumacher - 8 time F1 champion.
Martin brodeur has almost 700 NHL wins there's only 82 games in a season and Wayne Gretzky should easily be #1 assists alone he still has the point record thats insanity
You may have confused Henri Richard and Maurice Richard. Maurice Rocket Richard was Montreal's living legend. Never heard of any Henri Pocket Rocket Richard. Get your facts straight Mojo. I know my hockey.
You say you know your hockey and than you say you don't know Henri Richard... Maurice will always be the most known of the brothers, but Henri was a pretty good player too and he did won 11 Stanley cups, which will probably never be beaten, the Mojo fact was right.
ironmaidenfan6666 Oh man, Céline Dion offered Maurice Richard a golden puck on his death bed as an hommage to his career as a hockey player. I bet Wikipedia didn't know that. I KNOW MY FUCKING HOCKEY and it's not a freaking foreigner that will tell me otherwise. Henri Richard may hold more records, because he was trained by his brother. And the student always surpass the master. End of story.
I actually really agree with your list - I was about to write about Cy Young's complete games record which will never be matched, but you mentioned it. I think Gretzky also scored 212 points one season, which is likely to stand for my entire lifetime. Nice job!
+Brad Martin Baseball is the ultimate game of records. Which I must say I'm shocked and appalled that 56 wasn't on this list and honestly should be number 1.
+dingodime1 maybe they considered Dimaggio's hitting streak one of the Ironman records that weren't included. I don't know, I'm just guessing. I agree with you: the streak should've been included.
+Kevin Berry has there been anybody within 20 games of it.... PS I believe after he went hit less for 1 game he then went on for another 25 to 30 hitting streak. which means he hit safely in like 79 of 80 games in a row... PS sorry not a career record
Michael jordan has barely half the success bill russell had. 60s boston celtics ARE the greatest nba dynasty of all time, 90s bulls arent even in the ball park so don't even bring up MJ. He could be considered the most athletic/talented/competitive player of all time but doesn't have any UNBREAKABLE records
How about the following; 1) Darryl Sittler, 10 points in 1 game. 2) Ian Turnbill, 5 goals in 1 game by a defenceman. 3) Wayne Gretzky 92 goal season. 4) Wayne Gretzky 212 point season, same season as 92 goals. 5) Wayne Gretzky, 50 goals in 36 games. 6) Martin Brodeur, most wins by goalie. 7) Martin Brodeur, most Shut-outs.
I appreciate your concern, but there are nicer ways to put it, such as "This video is only concerning professional sports. NCAAs don't fall into this category."
Speaking of morons, your reply doesn't make sense. Perhaps you should enroll into college instead of spending your time trolling the internet. If nothing else, a couple of English classes could at least help you to become a better troll.
You missed the comma after "after all." Just to let you know. Also, for your previous comment, it isn't grammatically correct to say "there is 0 excuse." The correct way to word this would be "there is no excuse." And the reason why the rest of the comment fails to make any sense is because you are trying to use big words without having the slightest clue of how to use them in a sentence together. Like I said, stop trolling and go to college.
I remember when Gretzky got the record and then he just kept adding to it, it was like he never declined, he just kept scoring goals. First thought is, he must be so selfish and hogging the puck all night and then you come to find out he has more assists than any player has goals too. Insane!
That’s it he wasn’t the best goal scorer but was definitely the best passer hockey has ever seen. Not selfish at all was a great scorer top 5 but was definitely the best passer and team player. Unbelievable points record. And I’m a Red Wings fan.
Adam Williams wow.... again, it's a single game record.. not a career total examples - Career statistic- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 38,387 points.... Ty Cobb - Career Batting average .367 Those 2 examples are not from a single game.. it's based on their whole entire Career. Get it now? Wilt Chamberlain 100 point's is categorized as a single game record. not career record. with that said, if you want single game records, look for the single game record videos.
It's an individual career record. How hard is that to understand? He scored 100 points by himself, and only one person has come relatively close in nearly 80 years. He set, BY DEFINITION, what is called a record. If you can wrap your tiny head around that.
Adam Williams You should re watch the video. and then look back at your silly statement. This Specific video talks about Unbreakable Records: Top 10 Individual Career Records in Professional Team Sports. Not single game records, NOR Season records... "CAREER" as in "YOUR TOTAL NUMBERS ADDED WHEN YOUR CAREER IS DONE FROM AN INDIVIDUAL" Like Barry BONDS 762 HOMERUNS (in which he played 22 Years... Not 1 Game Not 100... But 22 YEARS... do this for me and maybe you'll understand. look at one your old Cards and you'll see on the bottom of the stats "career totals" that's what this video is talking about. if you don't get this, you need Jesus.
Missed the most unbreakable record of them all. Wayne Gretzky's 50 goals in 39 games to start a season. Even the Great One himself says it's the most unlikely of his records to ever be broken or matched.
NO MICHAEL JORDAN 6 CHAMPIONSHIPS NO MONEY MAYWEATHER UNDEFEATED STREAK NO BRUNO SANMARTINO 7 YEAR REIGN AS WWF CHAMPION THIS LIST IS NOT COMPLETE WatchMojo.com
Michael Jordan's championships isn't a record, Bill Russell holds the NBA record for most championships with 11 and he's on here. And you can't but Sanmartino or Undertaker on here because wrestling is scripted.
You're a fool. Jordan doesn't hold the record for most NBA titles. And WWF isn't one of the big 4 North American Sports nor is it a real sport. Anyone can hold a title for 7 years in a fake/scripted sport. Much harder to do when there is actual competition instead of people writing weekly scripts allowing you to remain as the champion.
Floyd Mayweather's streak isn't all that impressive. He deserves major credit and what not but Julio Ceasar Chavez and Jimmy Wilde were closer to 100 wins before losing. Marciano went 49-0, Willie Pep had like 70 some odd wins before losing
Well if Barry Sanders did not retire Emit would not be Shit ( fact) Emit said he thanked Barry for retiring ( Fact) And as far as the great Wayne G.. Yes he was a really GREAT Hockey player no Question about it, But when he was breaking records and setting them he also had what we know today as the goon squad, He had the protection from others, you dare not check a Captain, And we need that back in hockey today.. And one last note about Emit, He had a great offensive line through his career he had it sorta easy, Barry Sanders did not he worked hard for every yard..
Agreed. If Lemeiux had what Gretzky had as far as protection goes and a goalie on the other team sitting around with his stick up his ass then the Penguins would have every record their is
What about Barry Bond's 73 Home Runs? Now that the PRDs he used to achieve the record have been banned, nobody will have a chance to ever get close to that total.
joshjhutton thats a single season record, this is career records. and bond's hr total is reachable if someone with a nice swing starts at a young age and never stops hitting dingers, kris bryant might have a chance if he can figure everything out, he shows promise. Joc Pederson could also do well but he lost his swing after the home run derby
Adam Wilson this season was pretty flukey for a rod man, and he was hitting like shit all year. he had those little streaks but i dont see him getting that lucky in his remaining years.
DrDrewRulez The NFL now is necessarily a passing league, as there are often hand-offs to a running back multiple times a game. AP has the greatness to break Emmit Smith's record, but I don't think he'll be around for to many more seasons to make that happen.
Well 3 years later and no one is even sniffing it. 208 career TDs, you’d have to average 15 TDs for 14 seasons to do so. It ain’t happening, WR or RB, no one is breaking it. Larry Fitz is the closest active with only 120
Single-game records are iffy, because you just never know what could happen on any given day. Kobe once scored 81 in a game, and David Robinson scored 71, so Chamberlain's record has come under threat.
Sparkdog19 yeah and considering the last 30 win season by a pitcher was in 1968 i dont even think it would be possible to get over 350 now with all the advanced scouting going on. i think kershaw has the best chance at 300+ right now but considering kershaw is already 27 i dont see him hitting 300+ either unless he plays past 40 and has absolutely no injuries
