On February 7, LeBron James became the basketball player with the most points in NBA history .

The 38-year-old star owns 38,390 points, three points more than the old record that has existed since 1989 of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The person who scores the most points after James while still playing is Kevin Durant, a 34-year-old player with 26,684 points.

Pele’s three-time men’s soccer World Cup champion. The late legend won the title with the Brazilian team in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

The World Cup takes place every four years and is the toughest team tournament in the world. Therefore, the number of players who win the championship two or more times is very rare. The last two players to do this are Cafu and Ronaldo Nazario: champions in 1994 and 2002 with Brazil. Ronaldo Nazario was even somewhat lucky to win the championship for the first time, because at that time he was only 17 years old and could not play any matches.

13 goals in one men’s soccer World Cup. Miroslav Klose is the top scorer in World Cup history, but Just Fontaine is the person who scored the most goals at a single tournament.

The former French international set a record when he scored 13 goals at the 1958 World Cup, including six goals in the group stage, two goals in the quarterfinals, one goal in the semi-finals and four goals in the third-place match. The second best player is Hungarian striker Sandor Kocsis, top scorer of the 1954 World Cup with 11 goals. From the 1974 World Cup until now, the top scorer in each tournament has had no more than eight goals.

18 majors of golfer Jack Nicklaus (lotus pink shirt). The former American golfer holds the record of winning 18 major titles since 1986, including six The Masters, five PGA Championships, four US Opens and three The Open Championships.

In 2008, Tiger Woods set his sights on breaking the record after winning 14 major titles in 11 years. However, turbulence in his personal life and ongoing injuries have stunted Woods’ development. It wasn’t until 2019 that he won his 15th title when crowned The Masters.

Number of weeks holding the position of number one golfer in the world. It is difficult to surpass Jack Nicklaus in the number of major titles, but Tiger Woods holds the record of 683 weeks as world number one.

The last time the 47-year-old golfer held this position was in May 2014. Second place, Greg Norman had 331 weeks. The golfer with the most weeks holding the world number one position after Woods while still playing is Rory McIlroy, with 122 weeks.

Men’s 100m run. At the 2009 World Athletics Championships, Usain Bolt set a record for running the men’s 100 m in 9 seconds 58. Since then, this record has become “immortal”.

The best performance then also belonged to Bolt, 9 seconds 63 at the 2012 London Olympics. In the past four years, the best performance of 9 seconds 76 belonged to three American athletes, including Christian Coleman, Trayvon Bromell and Fred Kerley.

Women’s 100 m run. The women’s 100 m running record, 10 seconds 49, still belongs to the late American athlete Florence Griffith-Joyner from 1988.

Over the past 30 years, athletes have still surrendered to this record despite advances in technique, technology and track surface. Elaine Thompson-Herah, an athlete who won five Olympic gold medals from Jamaica, is the closest to the record when reaching 10 seconds 54 in Eugene, 2021.

Longest tennis match. American tennis player John Isner and French opponent Nicolas Mahut set the record for longest tennis match in 2010.

The Wimbledon first round match lasted 11 hours and five minutes and took place over three days. The last set alone lasted 8 hours and 11 minutes. The final victory belonged to Isner with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68. The organizing committee installed a sign on court 18 at Wimbledon to mark the record. After this match, all Grand Slam tournaments apply a fifth set tie-break series to ensure the same thing cannot be repeated.

928 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 of men’s tennis. In addition to the record of winning 22 Grand Slams (equal to Novak Djokovic), Rafael Nadal also holds a record of 928 consecutive weeks in the Top 10 men’s tennis rankings.

He joined this group in April 2005, when he was just 18 years old. Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer follow with 788 and 734 weeks. Nadal’s record may have to stop in the coming months. Due to injury, the 36-year-old tennis player is likely to fall out of the Top 10 for the first time in 18 years.

Number of stage wins in the Tour de France. The record of winning 34 stages in the Tour de France, the most famous bicycle race in the world, of Eddy Merckx (right) has existed since 1975.

Fans have to wait until 2021 for the second racer to achieve this achievement: Mark Cavendish (left). According to experts, the 37-year-old British racer is the best sprinter in the history of the tournament. This year, Cavendish returned with the determination to break the record.
