    Once when in serious training Riley went 13 miles doing this which was over 2hours without a miscue. No video evidence, but I believe him, so that seems like the record for time and distance should anyone devote their time to drubbling in the future.

    apparently Riley has drubbled a 10 mile a race a bunch of times and a marathon once. It would take him around 100 minutes to finish a 10 miler and 4 hours to do a marathon, my question is how long has he drubbled at a time without dropping or stopping. I'm guessing its got to be over an hour but I would love to know. He is the master.

    It's all about the rythm. And you can keep a steady beat, alright! I know this is a bit late, but I just discovered recordsetter about two months ago. So maybe I say, Happy Aniversary on setting this record. Nonetheless, congratulations on a job well done.

    I didn't see this on the list of records for 2012. :(

      Well yeah I don't know how accurate those lists are. The guy who visited all of the countries at the age of 23 didn't make 2013's list. I try really hard every year and never make it.

    Awesome job, Riley! And, you did it, with the world in your hands :) You are the drubbling master, no doubt. Keep inspiring others.

    Whoa. This is my new favorite record!

    But... I don't think those are standard size basketballs. Either way, incredible.

      Oh, believe me, I've worn out hundreds of regulation size balls over the past 20 years. Those are regulation size.

      Amazing! They look like women's balls in the video. 28.5 inch rather than 29.5 but ah well.

      If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

      Nevermind I found the answer to that and I am even more amazed!

      Might I request a record? How about the record for the most digits of pi recited while dribbling three basketballs?

    What were you doing first? Running, or playing basketball? When did you realize you had this talent?!

    Being that I can't run a mile in 8:44, basketballs or not, this is very impressive. Also thanks for making me hate my physical abilities. Gotta get running again!
