Some of these feats are so incomprehensibly outlandish, that I don’t think anyone in their right mind would even want to attempt to break them. Especially the last one.

13. Ted St. Martin Makes 5,221 Free Throws in a Row
A man who didn’t play college basketball or shine particularly bright as a high school player set multiple records for his shooting prowess. Ted St. Martin, native of Jacksonville, started off by blasting to smithereens Harold “Bunny” Levitt’s record of 499 in 1975. He beat it by 739. But then he kept upping the ante, until he was 75 years old, eclipsing any possible contender with a grand total of 5,221. For comparison, the NBA record for most consecutive free throws is 78, set by Houston’s Calvin Murphy in 1981.
