Hardest record to break?

[Aluminny69]

There have been 33 games in NBA history in which a player recorded at least 60 points and 20 rebounds. Wilt Chamberlain accounts for 28 of them.

Speaking of UCONN, since no other University has ever won both a Men and Women's NC in the same year. Doesn't seem too likely any will do it twice.

I might be reading your post the wrong way but UConn has already done it twice.

Perhaps he meant thrice.

Yep, you are correct, you were reading it wrong.

Caltech Beavers men's basketball losing streak of 207 games

1961-62
Wilt (no last name needed)
48.5 minutes per game (games were only 48 minutes long)

Wilt sat for eight minutes that entire season. No days off for a hammy twinge or a "bad" shell fish (wink, wink) meal. No line changes or time in the penalty box. No half innings in the dugout or 7th inning stretches. No half games on offense (or defense), "special teams" tom foolery, or "Huddle ups!".

Just "Chamberlain!"
"Yeah, Coach?"
"You're in."
until...
"Somebody get Wilt, the game's over."

Can you imagine what it felt like to be the #2 Center on the depth chart that year? Ha!

Also, I believe 2 assists may be awarded preceding a hockey goal.

But not to the same guy!

How about Cheshire High girls swimming winning 281 dual meets in a row, a streak that lasted 25 years?

Chamberlain was just on a different level! He could palm a 16 pound bowling ball and hold it straight out from his shoulder! He was a world class volleyball player, a collegiate track & field star and allegedly once dunked with a 220 pound player hanging from one arm! Many of his contemporaries said he was the strongest man they had ever seen. He once averaged 50 points per game for an entire season! Upon being criticized for not passing enough, he promptly led the league in assists the following year. In college they played a special “slowdown game specifically to deny him the ball (one of the main reasons for the modern day shot clock. In a pickup game against active NBA players (including Magic) he became incensed at what he deemed a bad call, and declared there would be no more layups and in close baskets and proceeded to back it up. He was in his late 40s at that time! He did all this & much more while allegedly sleeping with 20,000 women! Whew! The big question is when did he sleep?

Do they even have a name for this? A Quintuple Double?

You want an unbeatable record? I have never, EVER, lost a game of Red Rover. Since I am retired from that game for many years, that is a record that cannot be broken, maybe tied.

Yep, you are correct, you were reading it wrong.

I apologize. English is my second language. I would suggest that your future posts include a translation into thoroughbred, but the thoroughbred language is all in the inflection of the sounds.

The record for the amount of times a day I check the BY to see if we got a new recruit.

Sadly, as poorly as I use it, English is my first.....well only language.

Getting back on topic, Forego won three consecutive Eclipse awards as horse of the year. Also won four Eclipse awards as older horse of the year. He won a total of eight Eclipse awards. These numbers will be hard to beat because owners now tend to retire horses after a few years. Oh, in case you haven’t noticed, modesty is one of my strong suits.

Didn't Secretariat set track records in all three Triple Crown races?

Yes, and he still owns the records for the triple crown races. Alas, the Pimlico record he set for a mile and three sixteenths was broken by another horse but not in the Preakness. Considering how many triple crown winners there have been it should be a long time before any horse wins all three races in record times.
