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 Two-Ball Basketball Bounces In One Minute While Balancing On A Rola Bola

Chii Zen

Chii Zen bounced two basketballs at once 187 times in one minute while balancing barefoot on a rola bola at home in Tainan, Taiwan. With one ball in each hand, both balls strike the floor together on every bounce while the board rocks on its free-rolling cylinder underfoot. RecordSetter counted the paired bounces from the continuous video and the sound of each strike, and the best 60 seconds of the attempt held exactly 187. It is the two-ball companion to Chii Zen's one-ball rola bola record.
