re: Is the all time home run record really the most prestigious record in sports?

I'm with you Genro. Wilt's 100 sounds incredible on the surface, but any research completely debunks the mystic. It does nothing for me as far as records are concerned. It will never be broken, but it deserves an asterisk just as much as Bonds HR record - although clearly not for the same reasons.
What Kobe did when he dropped 81 is much more significant that Wilt, and I despise Kobe. Hell, I hold most 50+ point games in higher regard than Wilt's.
I understand and respect Wilt's dominance, and I believe he would have been an All-NBA player in today's game, but the competition level today is absurd. I literally have no doubt that there are 15+ players in today's game that would have dropped 100 on that Knicks squad.
Also, the fact that I'm on the opposite side of a topic than Verlander gives me a robust sense of arrogance in this regard.

I'd also like to change my submission for most unbreakable record. That title should go to the single season MLB wins and losses leaders, Old Hoss Radbourn with 59 and John Coleman with 48, respectively.
48 losses by a pitcher in a season is unfrickingbelievable.

I would actually say ANY of todays NBA players could have scored 100 on them.
