Reclaiming the Guinness World Record for Most Behind-the-Back Basketball Passes in One Minute
Breaking a Guinness World Record is no easy feat. Breaking it again after losing the title? That’s a whole new level of dedication. This is the story of how Chris Stumph and I reclaimed the title for the most behind-the-back basketball passes in one minute, a journey of grit, teamwork, and practice.
The Journey to Reclaiming the Title
A few years ago, I held this record with Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon. Unfortunately, life moved us in different directions—literally. With Hollywood moving across the country, I was left searching for a new partner to take another shot at this record.
Enter Chris Stumph, a man with incredible athleticism, a killer work ethic, and a passion for basketball. Chris spends hours shooting hoops and has the kind of leg strength that requires 27 of the 45 pound weights on the leg press and ensures precision and stamina—key attributes for this physically demanding challenge. I knew he was the perfect partner to help me reclaim this title.
Weeks of Practice and a Record to Beat
The existing record stood at 65 passes, a tough but achievable goal. Chris and I dedicated weeks to refining our technique, building chemistry, and improving our speed and accuracy. Practice session after practice session, we pushed each other to new heights, even managing our best of 71 passes in one minute.
With every drill, we honed our strategy: quick, smooth movements, perfect timing, and staying calm under pressure. It wasn’t just about passing a basketball—it was about doing it with precision and rhythm, over and over, at lightning speed.
Game Day: Witnesses, Cameras, and a Dream
On the big day, we left nothing to chance. With witnesses, official timers, and videographers on hand, everything was set up according to Guinness World Records’ stringent requirements. The energy was electric, and the pressure was on.
When the whistle blew, we got into the zone. Pass after pass, we moved like a well-oiled machine. Time seemed to both stand still and race ahead. By the end of the minute, the results were in: 70 behind-the-back passes.
We didn’t just break the record; we crushed it.
The Sweet Taste of Victory
This achievement is extra special because it marks Chris’s first Guinness World Record title. Seeing his excitement and knowing the work we put in together made the moment even sweeter. For me, regaining this title felt like coming full circle—a testament to resilience and the power of teamwork.
We celebrated the moment, but it’s safe to say this won’t be the last record Chris and I go after together. If this experience has taught us anything, it’s that hard work, trust, and a shared goal can lead to extraordinary results.
Looking Ahead
To anyone chasing a Guinness World Record or a dream of their own, here’s our advice: stay focused, put in the work, and don’t give up. Whether you’re breaking records or breaking barriers, the journey is worth every second.
Here’s to the next challenge—and to proving that teamwork makes the impossible possible.
