Luis Navarro

Luis Navarro, better known as El Hueso (7 March 1935 – 30 August 2015), was a Venezuelan multi-sport athlete who was successful as both a basketball and volleyball player, road cyclist, and baseball pitcher. He is best known for scoring 107 points in a single basketball game in 1957, for which he received the Guinness World Record.

Early and personal life Luis Navarro was born in the La Estrella neighborhood of the city of Los Teques in the state of Miranda, on 7 March 1935. (Some sources wrongly state that he was born on 7 March 1937.) On 6 August 1950, in the opening match of the third edition, he and Clemente Carrasquero led their team Zuliano to a 52–47 victory over the Mirandinos, but they ended up finishing as runner-ups.

Two years later, on 11 August 1957, the 22-year-old Navarro scored 107 points to help his side to a 109–86 victory over the Nueva Esparta team in a National Championship match held on a dirt floor at Nuevo Circo de Caracas, a feat that earned him a mention in the Guinness World Record for the most points scored in a single basketball game.
