  5. I think Anita Gorbicz [Hungarian] was the 2005 top female handball player, and she is a very skilled athelete.

    Anja Andersen [Denmark] is also a very talented handball player, also a female. She was the 1997 World Handball Player. I also looked up David Chapman, but on wikipedia all it says is that "he is regarded as the top player of the sport."

    But the current top player on the USHA rankings is Emmett Peixoto of Watsonville, California.

    It is very hard to find international rankings and such because handball is a relatively unknown sport, especially in the States. I don't know about other parts of the world, because I don't live there... Also, I'd like to point out that it is a team sport, so that makes individual performance even more undermined. European teams generally do well, though.

    also heres a handball best player site.

  8. It is a draw between Naty Alvarado and Vern Roberts, Naty has the better overall record, however, due to non-handball injuries Vern could very well have taken more than he did. Here is the what the Hall of Fame statements say for both players:

    Naty Alvarado

    The most dominating, winningest handball player of alt time is considered by most to be the game's all-time best. Naty "El Gato" Alvarado revolutionized the game of handball, turning the handball world upside down with his ambidextrous offensive attack. Reaching his prime during the early years of the pro tour, Alvarado went on a tear, winning 63 professional tournaments over a 14-year period. Alvarado became the winningest singles champion even in 1990 when he won his 11 national four-wall singles title. Naty was born in Juarez, Mex., and moved to the United States in 1976 with his wife Lupe.

    Vern Roberts

    Roberts was known for his smooth swing and effortless motion while gliding across the court. A national champion in singles and doubles in three- and four-wall, he also won the 1986 World Four-Wall singles title to go with 3 three-wall singles titles, 8 three-wall doubles titles and 4 four-wall doubles. The ambidextrous Roberts was one of the most colorful players on the pro tour for almost two decades.

    Roberts continued to play age-level competitions, concentrating on doubles with his brothers and family friends.
