Introduction
Some athletes break records. These ones broke reality. We’re talking real-life superheroes—people so strong, fast, and freakishly talented, they make you question if we’re even the same species.
Let’s meet the GOATs of doing the impossible.
1. Shaquille O’Neal
7’1″ | 325 lbs | Pure Chaos
Shaq didn’t just play basketball. He bullied it.

Dude was out here snapping backboards like Kit Kats and racking up over 28K career points while winning 4 rings. No one that size should be that fast or that skilled—but Shaq said “bet.”
2. Hafþór Björnsson
6’9″ | 400 lbs |
aka The Mountain This guy deadlifted 1,104 pounds.

That’s like lifting a grizzly bear and a fridge… at the same time. He eats 10,000 calories a day just to function, and if he looks familiar, yes—that was him snapping necks in Game of Thrones.
3. Lebron James
6’9″ | 260 lbs | Still Cookin’ in Year 20
LeBron is basically Thanos with a jump shot.

He’s huge, fast, and somehow still breaking NBA records after 20 seasons. 39K+ career points? Yeah, and he’s still running past 20-year-olds like it’s nothing.
4. Eddie Hall
6’3″ | 400+ lbs | Beast Mode: Activated
Talking about massive athletes, Eddie was the first to deadlift 500kg (1,102 lbs) and looked jacked doing it—dude had abs at 400 pounds.
He trained like a supervillain (literally dragged fridges uphill) and changed the strongman game forever.
5. Giannis Antetokounmpo
6’11” | 7’3″ Wingspan | Handles Like a Guard
Giannis is built like a center but moves like a point guard. .
