Unbreakable Sports Records: From Stephen Curry's 3-Point Milestone to Wilt Chamberlain's Scoring Feats

Explore the most unbreakable records in sports history, from Stephen Curry's 3-point milestones to Wilt Chamberlain's scoring feats and beyond.

Stephen Curry's 3-Point Milestone

Stephen Curry added yet another milestone to his legendary résumé on Thursday night, becoming the first player in NBA history to make 4,000 career 3-pointers. The Golden State Warriors superstar hit the mark against the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center, further cementing his status as one of the greatest shooters of all time.

LeBron James: 50,000-Plus Combined Points

LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to total 50,000 points in the regular season and postseason on March 4. James, who turned 40 in December, now sits with 50,086 career points -- regular season and playoffs combined. By comparison, Kevin Durant -- the next-highest active player -- is nearly 15,000 behind James' mark.

Emmitt Smith: 18,355 Rushing Yards

Emmitt Smith broke Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton's all-time rushing record of 16,726 yards in 2002. Smith played for 2½ more seasons, winding up with 18,355 rushing yards. This milestone is unlikely to ever be broken due to the evolution of the NFL and the focus on passing over rushing.

Jerry Rice: 22,895 Receiving Yards

Jerry Rice had an incredible 14 seasons with 1,000 or more receiving yards, including three with more than 1,500. Rice's durability and skill made him uncoverable for two straight decades, and his receiving touchdown record of 197 is also untouchable.

Wayne Gretzky: 1,963 Career Assists

Wayne Gretzky, known as "The Great One," leads the NHL in total points on assists alone. To approach his total, a player would have to average 98 assists a year over a 20-year career. Gretzky's dominance in assists is unmatched in NHL history.

Wilt Chamberlain: 50.4 PPG in a Single Season

Wilt Chamberlain's 1961-62 season is legendary, with 45 50-plus-point games, 15 60-plus-point games, and three 70-plus-point games, including a 100-point game. This record is considered unbreakable in modern NBA history.

Boston Celtics: Eight Straight NBA Titles

The Boston Celtics' eight straight NBA titles from 1959 to 1966 is a record that stands the test of time. The modern NBA's competitive nature makes it nearly impossible for any team to replicate this feat.

Simone Biles: 30 World Gymnastics Gold Medals

Simone Biles has 30 world gymnastics gold medals, far surpassing her competition. The next-most-decorated gymnast, Svetlana Khorkina, has nine, highlighting Biles' unparalleled dominance.

Cal Ripken Jr.: 2,632 Consecutive Games Played

Cal Ripken Jr.'s record of 2,632 consecutive games played is a testament to his durability. In today's game, players are more likely to rest, making this record nearly unbreakable.

UConn Huskies Women's Basketball: 111-Game Winning Streak

The UConn Huskies women's basketball team's 111-game winning streak is a record that may never be broken. Their dominance under coach Geno Auriemma is unmatched in college basketball history.

Rickey Henderson: 1,406 Career Stolen Bases

Rickey Henderson's 1,406 career stolen bases is a record that stands the test of time. His consistency and longevity make this record unreachable for modern players.

Michael Phelps: 28 Olympic Medals

Michael Phelps holds the record for the most Olympic medals with 28, including 23 gold medals. His dominance in swimming is unmatched, and his records are considered unbreakable.
