Michael Jordan Made 759 Consecutive Lay-ups In Backyard Practice

 July 01, 1994

News in a flash—The great Michael Jordan registered a world record by making 759 consecutive lay-ups in a practice in his home backyard. Michael said that he was on fire and can't miss any lay-ups at all. He eventually decided to just stop after the 759th lay-up because he got a little bored. Realizing that it could be a world record, he dialed Guinness Book of World Records and told them about it. Impressed of what they've heard, Guinness agreed to formalize the record knowing that there was no way Michael would lie about such thing.
