1. The most touchdowns
What can be said about Jerry Rice that hasn’t been said already? He holds so many NFL Records that it’s difficult to just highlight one, making him NFL Network’s #1 greatest NFL player in their list of 100 players in history. Rice currently holds over 100 NFL records, the most of any player.
However, Rice’s most impressive record just might be his record shattering 208 career touchdowns. The closest to this record is Emmitt Smith with 175.
2. The fastest man on earth
Usain Bolt is one impressive athlete. He holds the record for both the 100 and 200 meter dash.
In the 100 meter dash, he improved the time from 9.74 to 9.72, 9.69 and finally to the record 9.58 seconds in 2009. That puts Bolt’s speed at 27.8 miles per hour, a mind blowing speed for a human being.
They don’t call him the fastest man on earth for nothing.
3. The fastest woman of all time
Considering how often records are broken in the world of track and field, it is an astonishing feat to have your record stand for over 30 years. That’s what Florence Griffith Joyner has been able to accomplish.
Joyner set the best time for the 100 meter and 200 meter back in 1988 with style, and it has not been broken since. She went on to win 3 gold medals in the 1988 Olympics. Unfortunately, she retired from sports shortly after and lost her life ten years after her record setting Olympic performance.
4. America’s Greatest Athlete
Serena Williams is not only considered one of greatest tennis players of all time but she may also be America's greatest athlete. If you ask The New Yorker, the answer is yes.
Serena Williams has so many records under her belt, but her most impressive one might be the length of time she has dominated on the court. Serena won her first Grand Slam title in 1999 and for the 20 years since, she has continued as the queen tennis. She is the first player to ever win a major in 3 different decades.
In the 43 year history of the Women Tennis Association, there has been 24 other women ranked No.1. Serena has beat 20 of them. And the 4 she didn’t beat were the ones who retired before her career began.
One last record: Serena has won $88 million in career prize money, that is more than any other female athlete in the world.
5. The most points in a single NBA game
A player has scored 60 or more points in a single game in NBA history 69 times. And only four players have scored 60 or more points on more than one occasion. Michael Jordan has done it 5 times, Kobe Bryant 6 times, Elgin Baylor 4 times. But the legendary Wilt Chamberlain has done it an astonishing 32 times.
And only one player has scored 100 points in a single game. You guessed it, Mr. Wilt Chamberlain.
Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors on March 2, 1962 against the New York Knicks. He also set the record for the most free throws made in the same game. During that season, Chamberlain averaged a record 50.4 points per game. Unfortunately, the Warriors vs Knicks game was not televised and no video footage of it exists. There’s only audio recording of the game’s fourth quarter.
