This week's question was whether Gretzky's career points or Wilt's career rebounds are best first.
Both are incomprehensibly far ahead of any contemporary challenger.
Gretzky's points54.5%
Wilt's rebounds45.5%

Nolan Ryan's strikeouts will outlast both.

I'll try to find something to pair with that for this week. Any ideas?
I don't want to have to pull out Sheed's technical fouls just yet.

I responded in the pod thread, but will say it again here. The Great One's points record will fall before Wilt's rebounds, although if there was an option for neither, I would probably have picked that.

Forever's a long time. No one thought Kareem's scoring record was breakable but Lebron's going to end up about three elite seasons over it.

True. As the saying goes, records are meant to be broken. Not sure if these ones will break during my lifetime though, haha.

Coming along. Still a lot to do but we can create a basic custom pool now and enter. Although it didn't take the sats out of my wallet which was odd so I need to clarify with it if that's because we are testing. Obviously not taking any real sats yet. Gotta put it away for today. I have a ton of stuff I was supposed to do but haven't because I was working with our robot employee.

What am I looking at here?
I haven’t listened to the pod yet

I don’t know either of the records, but I chose Wilt because rebounds in basketball are much more common than points in hockey

Some context, then:
Wilt played 14 seasons (I got this wrong on the pod) and grabbed 28000 rebounds for an average of 2000 rebounds per season. In the 21st century, no player has even tallied 1500 rebounds in a single season.
Gretzky played 21 seasons, totaling 2857 points. The runner-up didn't even crack 2000 career points, despite playing for 29 seasons. The nearest active players are nearing retirement with about 1600 points each.

Spoiler alert: It will only take a massive overhaul of multiple rules for Gretzky's record to fall. Totally feasible.

His goals scored record fell this season, but Ovi is still barely halfway to the total points mark.
