We would hesitate to call any number in sports "untouchable" because nobody knows what the future will bring. But Chip Scoggins' story on today's 50th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game got us thinking a little about performances that will be, at least, hard to top (and no, we're not talking about Wilt's other legendary number). It will be awfully hard for someone to ever hit 100 in an NBA game again. Think about it -- even playing the full 48 minutes of a regulation game, that's still more than a basket per minute. Kobe Bryant put up 81 in 2006, and he said recently he thinks someone else will top 100 at some point.

Seriously? We put Chamberlain's 100-point game up with some of the other sports marks we don't ever envision seeing broken, such as:

*Wilt's 50.4 ppg average in 1961-62. Just crazy.

*Wayne Gretzky's entire career, but particularly his 163 assists in 1985-86.

*Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. There's just so much scrutiny these days that we can't imagine a player sustaining that kind of streak of that long going forward.

*Nolan Ryan's 5,714 strikeouts. Yeah, that would be 300 K's a year for 19 years. Good luck, modern day pitchers.

A couple things that struck us about these numbers: We couldn't think of any number in the NFL that we consider approaching "untouchable." Also, soccer records/numbers are all over the place. Pele scored 760 official goals, but what does that mean in the context of other careers?

Your thoughts on other big numbers or Wilt's big night in the comments, please.
