What you have to ask is whether guys put in that much time on the court. I thought Michael Jordan might have done it, but he was more of a shooter than I was. Today, it's easier to get an assist. Now, if a guy makes a pass and the other guy scores, it's an assist. I had to make a play to get one.
Rebounds take a little more effort.
The one that means the most to me is the touchdown record since that is directly related to producing points. It takes a lot of factors to set those records - good health, productivity and outstanding teammates. Some of Gretzky's 61 NHL records might never be challenged. When he was inducted into the Hall of Fame just months after he retired, Gretzky was asked about his approach to his sport. If I had three goals, I wanted five goals.
