What are the most unbreakable individual records in sports history?

LeBron James is on the verge of eclipsing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar'sall-time NBA scoring mark of 38,387 career points. At his current29.3 point-per-game season average, James is nine games away frombreaking a record that, for a long time, seemed close tountouchable.

James' transcendant greatness forces us to reevaluate whatconstitutes an "unbreakable" record. So what are some otherexamples across sports?

Starting with other basketball records, Abdul-Jabbar stillboasts the NBA's all-time mark for made field goals with 15,837.James, despite his historic scoring, currently sits a whopping1,882 made baskets behind Abdul-Jabbar. Even the Father Timedoubters can't expect James to get there before he retires.

The career rebounding leaders are Wilt Chamberlain (23,924) andBill Russell (21,620). No other player has ever reached 18,000boards. Barring a drastic change to the game, it's safe to saythose two marks will stand the test of time. Chamberlain's100-point game, along with several other single-game andseason-highs, also seem untouchable.

Pete Maravich holds the NCAA record for most career points(3,667); he averaged over 40 points per game and set the bar injust three seasons. Antoine Davis of Detroit-Mercy is currentlysecond and giving his best shot, but even at 3,274 points, he'swell behind as he nears the end of a five-year college career.
