In order to have 160 SI, it seems you'd need to be 20 POT. So the question then becomes, has there ever been a 20 POT player? Unless a database search of retired players reveals otherwise, I don't think there ever has been. Updated Thursday, September 14 2017 @ 2:09:33 pm PDT

Of course prior to 2022 (iirc the season) we had to manually count the little blocks, because the number wasn't displayed as anything more than "???". I think Steve said in a discussion I unfortunately don't have bookmarked that 17 potential are supposed to be the equivalent of once a generation players, and so should only have odds of popping up once per 10 seasons or so. I don't think he even mentioned 18 potentials in that conversation which leads me to believe that if one ever pops up he may be a once per 100 seasons deal, since they get exponentially rarer with each added block.
