A group of men from Georgia broke a world record by playing basketball for 121 hours and 3 minutes straight.

The nonstop game ended at 10 a.m. on Friday at Landmark Christian School, setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest basketball game ever played.

The 23 players, ages 17 to 64, stayed inside the gym the entire time, even during their breaks, to follow the official rules.

The final score was 13,096 to 12,972, showing just how long and active the game was. The event wasn’t just about breaking a record—it also helped raise money to fight human trafficking and support survivors.

By playing this extra-long game, the team brought attention to an important cause and showed how sports can be used to help others.
