24 Basketball World Records Shattered in One Day—Did They Survive?

Ever wondered if you could break 24 basketball world records in 24 hours? Neither did I—until this squad rolled up, sneakers tied, egos inflated, dreams ready to deflate. Spoiler: things get wild fast.

First up: world's farthest backwards shot. One swish later, and it's record #1 down—no warmup, just vibes. That's the tone for the whole day: absolutely reckless, occasionally successful.

The team splits up to maximize chaos. While Zach and Jeff go hunting records across LA, the rest stay behind, determined to cash in on any record that requires pure hustle. Underhand free throws, layups, dribble marathons—no shot, pivot, or bounce is safe.

"We did it. World record. Woo. The new world record is now 11 and it belongs to yours truly—World Record Weser."

Basketball world records aren’t just about the big dunks. There’s speed-eating bananas while dribbling (that’s a thing?), spinning balls on rulers, and even brutality against defenseless stuffed animals—all for the glory of the Guinness gods. Classic clutch moment: the team literally turns a plush toy into a baller.

Some stunts are pure comedy—like stacking unpeeled mandarin oranges on a basketball. Others verge on full-court carnage. You know it’s serious when shoulders get pinched and the phrase “I can’t feel my arm, bro” gets thrown around after another failed trick shot attempt.

Not all world records made sense. (Pivot steps, anyone? It counts, apparently.) But hustle, hyperbole, and the occasional touch of genius power the mission forward.

By sunset, the squad’s run the spectrum: hype, hope, humiliation. The farthest bounce shot nearly breaks them—and possibly the court. But if basketball has taught us anything, it’s never give up until the very last buzzer.

Here’s the wild part: by the end, not only have they shattered records—they’ve practically rewritten what it means to have a good time with a ball, a camera, and a refusal to quit. You can’t script this kind of drama.

If you thought beating one record was hard, try twenty-four—with sore arms, endless banter, and pure determination. Better just watch the clip. Trust me, you’ll never look at a trick shot—or a stuffed animal—the same way again.
