In reference to all the other answers, handball IS a real sport, added to the Olympics in the 1970's [one version for women and one for women.] Many like to think of handball as a mix between basketball and soccer, where a ball is dribbled down a court, and shot at a goalie much like in soccer - except you use your hands. There is an International Handball Federation, and as of February 2007, the IHF reports to have 159 member federations representing approximately 1,130,000 teams and a total of 31 million players, trainers, officials and referees, thank you very much.
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.

David Chapman is a professional handball player. He is widely regarded as the best handball player ever to play the sport.
