Question: What’s the longest winning streak in professional sports? It’s the Los Angeles Lakers’ 33-game streak in 1971–72. (And no, they didn’t win the championship that year—go figure.) Or try this: the Chicago Bulls’ 1995–96 team went 72–10, a record that stood for 20 years until the Golden State Warriors broke it in 2015–16 with 73 wins. Spoiler: neither team won the title that year. Oof.
Here’s a personal favorite: the only athlete to play in both a Super Bowl and a World Series? Deion Sanders. “Prime Time” did it while also moonlighting as a trash-talk legend. He also played basketball—because why not?
