Basketball World Records

549 basketball world records, videos, and challenges

Basketball world records are where players dribble, shoot, spin and dunk their way to glory, often with an added element of difficulty. (Try juggling three basketballs while balancing a fourth on your forehead and you'll get the idea.) These records don't all require varsity-level experience, though - for a less challenging task, try beating the record for Most Images of Charles Barkley on a Cookie or Most Three-Pointers Missed By Five People In One Minute.

Most Basketball Bounces In One Minute While Balancing On A Rola Bola

Chii Zen

Chii Zen bounced a basketball 250 times in one minute while balancing barefoot on a rola bola at home in Tainan, Taiwan. A rola bola is a board set across a free-rolling cylinder, so every low, quick dribble beside it has to happen while keeping the board level underfoot. The attempt was filmed in one continuous take, and RecordSetter counted the bounces from the footage and the sound of each ball strike. That works out to roughly four bounces a second without a single lost ball.
