U forgot to mention Mark Eaton’s and Manute Bol’s passing. RIP to both of ‘em 😢
Bill Walton also worth mentioning as a great shot blocker. He comes to mind because you mentioned good passers.
@@lukecash3500 nah he meant that they passed awat
@@dragshan5255 It's a shame with Manute Bol. Wish he could see Bol Bol's whole career at least.
Ben Wallace as well
@@tj5180 Ben isn’t dead
Ben Wallace and Dwight definitely deserve an Honorable mention. Maybe even Rudy. Rudy doesn't have a lot of BPG because of the 3pt evolution, more and more possessions end in 3s.
Barry Sanders ,no doubt
The greatest injustice to Bill Russell's stats was they never recorded blocks. Bill and Wilt are really #1 or #2 all time leader in blocks in either order.
No there not
@@jennaskogs3630 yes they're are dumbass if they recorded blocks at that time
@@tmn_night8748 they’re was no goaltending, no 3 pt line so every one went to the paint and took they’re shots, players were less skilled etc.)
@@PROBENICCOMPS goaltending was a rule because of wilt chamberlain, second is the most athletic center of all time and third no the players won't only score in the paint. If you don't know anything about basketball don't talk about it my guy
@@tmn_night8748 yea same shit, if Shaq or Giannis or Hakeem played in the 60’s they would make goaltending a rule, they’re was no goaltending when Wilt played and players rim run to the paint
Glad Theo Ratliff made the list, thought of him as well before clicking. Early-mid 2000's Ben Wallace would have deserved to be mentioned as well though.
9:14
Wilt is documented (though not OFFICIALLY) as having had a QUINTUPLE double.
Both he and Bill Russell probably managed more than one quadruple double.
Larry Bird shorted HIMSELF of a quad double once - had points rebounds and assists but was one steal short at the end of 3 quarters in one game, but sat out the 4'th entirely as the Celtics were up 27 at the end of three.

Not original
Ben “Big Ben” Wallace may not be included on the list but his block highlights are one of the bests and monstrous specially for an undersize player for his position..,
Ben was at the short end of the USUAL range for a center, but he was NOT "undersized".
Inch more or less than Russell, and there have been OTHER centers that were shorter (though not many "Hall" centers).
Hint - even at Center, 7' or taller is NOT the norm, most centers have been SHORTER.
Ben's PEAK was 3.5 BPG one season - by the standards of the NBA, that's quite high but NOT all-time high, several centers averaged more than that FOR THEIR CAREER.
He was vertically undersized, horizontally he was oversized
@@bastadimasta I suspect he was another player, like Bill Russell or Kevin McHale, that had more reach than usual for their "height".
Long Arms type.
Fr he was underrated center and shot blocker
He should be on this list, literally more blocks and steals than fouls in his career.
Mark Eaton 3.5 per game
May you Rest In Peace
The Goat Jared Dudley averaging about 15 blocks per game on his off nights and not even an honorable mention.
fucked up
Not even a Ben Wallace mention? 4 time DPOY?? Come one I love this channel but how can you forget about Big Ben lol
Wallace's career block average is only 2. His best blocking averages is 3.5, 3.2 and 3.0 in his Detroit prime. Throughout his career his blocks averages ranges from 1 - 2.5. He is no doubt one of the best defenders, but he altered shots because of his physical presence not mainly because of his blocking skills.
Bigben was known for his defense, because of his strength, not blocking.
Not even a top-20 NBA per game blocker.
Being a defensive player does not always equate to the number of blocks you make in a game. There's a lot more that go in defensive plays.
@@kingsleykpabitey1814 and yet the video is about blocking, not best defender
I love defensive big men.That along with his work effort is the main reasons Shaq isn't in my top nba centers of all time.But respect the business man he has become.
Bill Russell invented shot blocking and some might say him and Wilt averaged close to 7-8 blocks a night.I dont agree with David Robinson being #3 and Wilt and Russell not making the list.
He did say that they would be at the top of the leader board if they counted blocks back then when they played.
And they should have been on the list
@Snow Cone There are a few folks DOCUMENTED to have blocked the Sky Hook.
Wilt IS probably the only person to do it more than once though - though that video where he blocks Kareem on consecutive attempts was NOT 2 sky hooks, they were both JUMP hooks (and Wilt was borderline goaltending on one of them).
Oh, it’s ridiculous that Wilt and Russ are not on the list. Easily the 2 best shot blockers in NBA History. Without question.
@@faqjail4968 He clearly wasn't listening otherwise he wouldn't be making that comment.
Actually, George Mikan invented shot blocking - almost a DECADE before Bill was drafted.
The "Defensive Goaltending" rules for BOTH the NBA and the NCAA came about due to George (as did the first lane widen rule in the NBA and at least one other rule).
But like Wilt and Bill (and to a lesser degree Nate and Kareem) he suffered due to blocks not being a RECORDED statistic 'til the season AFTER Wilt left the NBA for the ABA.
Players:
- Shawn Bradley
- Theo Ratliff
- Patrick Ewing
- Alonzo Mourning
- Kareem Abdul Jabbar
- Manute Bol
- Dikembe Mutombo
- David Robinson
- Mark Eaton
- Tim Duncan
- Bill Russell
- Wilt Chamberlain
- Hakeem Olajuwon
Olajuwon could also block a shot from anywhere on the court. He literally covered up to the 3 point line if the shot was important enough, and/or he was playing defense on the high post, corner or elbow.
as a center myself l was known for being a blocker in my old days. l wasn't very tall (6'2') but l sure had a monkey armspan of 6"10'. l'd have a solid 3-4 blcks per game, to the point the mere fact a shooter saw me advance to cover his shot was enough to have him miss the rim by a foot.
Blocking is a serious gamble. Every attempt comes with the highest chance of a fault and the risk of being fouled outta the game. l'd say this is why many centers and coaches focus on other defensive aspects leaving the hard block only as a last resort, under certain circumstances.
In a game that is all about the dunk, it's a mathematical certainty you shall get dunked on your face 10 times for every 1 block you do, but if you're mentally strong you would know that when you succeed, the pay is the sweetest. l can guarantee if you block that star player ONE TIME having him crumble shattered to the ground like a building during demolition with the roar of the crowd they'll remember you FOR EVER regardless of how many times he takes revenge, retaliates and marks you for life, and defends himself when telling the story the truth is you fn OWNED him and everyone knows it.
Whoever really focused on being a blocker would know it's another mindset than the typical center job. ld say it's 100% instinct. It takes a certain "nose" to see it coming. lt's like you have to somehow stay hidden around the rim to lure the attacker in; you leave just about a gap. In a split second you can tell in his posture and in eyes he's taken the bait and his engagement is imminent. Right when he takes elevation you come outta the shadows and blow his ass to the stands. ROAR.
l'd say 100% of successful blocks happen because they don't see you. Obviously l wont compare my lowly self to these stars but l wanted to tell how it feels since blocking was never taught to me

@@notde_lava1404 Did you not pay attention? During Bill's time, there was no official statistics for shot blocking. It was introduced I guess he said in the 70's.
@@notde_lava1404 blocks weren’t recorded in the 60’s if I remember correctly.
Men the effort... on your edits wow...

Tim Duncan should have had a quadruple double in the NBA finals, but the refs screwed him. They didn't give him two assists that were clearly his. League should have corrected these mistakes
Eaton is the best shot blocker of the modern era. Wilt is the best shot blocker of all time, regardless of stats. He once blocked 24 shots in a single game (while recording a quintuple double with 53 pts 32 rb 14 assist and 11 steals). There is video of him blocking Kareem’s unblockable skyhook in back to back attempts.
Na thats just career avg
Not best peak
How is Dwight Howard not even an honorable mention?
He ain’t competing with any of these guys
@@gavinhoppe2208 Bro he won 3 DPOY's IN A ROW. How do you say he doesn't compare to those guys.

@@lukecash3500 Jason Kidd should be in top 10. I'd take him over Payton
@@FuShengAlex Yeah Jason Kidd is worth being in the list. Gary Payton did hold MJ to his lowest averages in the finals though.
His steal totals aren't crazy but Gary got in an awful lot of contests and deflections, too. He's not as much of a lock as Sidney Moncrief (maybe the only guy on the list with an argument for beating MJ and Pippen, he's the only guard to win more than one DPOY after all), but surely Gary has just as much right to be on the list as Cheeks, Archibald, or West. Probably not on Frazier, Stockton, Pippen, Jordan or Moncrief's level though.
Not Nate Archibald or oscar Robertson. Bobby Jones
@@FuShengAlex wth? payton is the best pg perimeter defender ever
Video recommendation: top ten toughest defenders
Love the way he did dikembe intro
Give this man 1m subs
No player who debuted after the year 2000 was even mentioned. lol
@Rei Mid-range players were nothing new (Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Pistol Pete, etc...). Yes, paint-oriented players were a dying breed by the start of the new millennium, but you'll find that even steals have dropped since. Allen Iverson & Chris Paul are the only players who've accumulated 200+ steals in a season during the post-2000 era.
Bol was a monster, his 5 blocks in one possession was like looking an adult bully children. He was also decent (for that time and for his height) from the 3pt line, hitting ~25% of his shots. In those times, the idea of a center trying a 3pt shot did not exist. Had he been 50 pounds heavier, he could have been the best defender that eveer existed.
Wilt is the best shot blocker ever only I blocks were counted it was reported that he had over 10000 of them
Dikembe and Hakeem are stfu idiot
@@wp_aris1052 You should be quiet. This guy speakin facs. Watch the film. You don't know anything you should just be quiet.
@@alexluna1784 so bill russell, nate thurmond, willis reed, bob pettit, walt bellamy, oscar robertson, jerry west, jerry lucas, elgin baylor and many others were plumbers? You people always seem to look down on the 60s for some reason.
wilt is disgustingly underrated...no other player changed and dominated the game like him
@Chief Uchiha So, there were actually plumbers. In the 40s and 50s sometimes the 11th man on the bench would pick up a second job in the offseason.
Didn't happen any more in the 60s, players were making more money. If Bill or Wilt played against a plumber then seriously there must have been a fatal plane crash or something.
The fact is they were playing against guys who had track and field numbers good enough to warrant a first round pick today.
And Bill and Wilt would be physical freaks by today's standard too. Wilt Chamberlain won the national shot put competition seven times in a row, won the high jump twice, competed in the triple jump, the long jump, ran the 1500, the 3000, the 5000, the 10000, the 15000, the mile, the half marathon, bench pressed 500 lbs in college (Shaq benched 465 in his prime), had his standing vertical measured using pixel mapping of game film and without a running start he leapt 43" (so with a running start Wilt really wasn't capping, he really could get above 50), did tricep extensions with 150 lb weights, I mean the guy retired from the nba and then competed in pro volleyball for 10 years and made the hall of fame.
That is plenty of explanation for that level of dominance without being an ignorant idiot and saying it was because it the competition. There isn't even such a thing as a single other nba player with combine measurements that are that crazy. In fact it'd be difficult to find anyone in sports who was more athletic. All of those were facts, plain as day, none of the tall tales that get circulated. Try and find me one person more athletic.
The fact is that when it comes to Wilt his accomplishments are so unreal that he can't even get credit for them. They're too good. No one wants to believe he averaged 8.8 blocks in the 112 fully filmed games we have but he did. No one wants to believe he got 26 in a game but he got 23 in a game that is all on film.
The dude literally is remembered for the dipper dunk. Players have to fly up to the rim and when they're really flying like MJ, Wilkins, or Carter they have their head above the rim. Wilt's trademark dunk was him just barely jumping and then dipping it in there like someone dipping a donut into a cup of coffee. It was effortless.
First. Love the amazing info u r telling us
Hakeem Olajuwon best defensive player a real shot blocker
Hakeem at the top perfect 👌

Benched 700 LB or so?
Have a 40 inch vert
Have over 8 Blocks every Game
Everything just a myth i mean who can the 30+/20+and 8 Block Player loss nearly every Finals Games?
The 2.06 m Tall Bill Russel was known at the best defender of his Time and also caged wilt in every Game.
So he cant be that dominant then most believe.
He was solid one of the best of his era maybe the best but nothing more.
@@germanischerkrieger6018 we have proof of the 40 inch vert and the 700 pound bench press

Cool dude
Prime Olajuwon was just ridiculous. Sometimes the simplest way to look at things is the best way. He won two in a row in the 90s(Golden age of Centres in the NBA) for a reason. Olajuwon is the one beside Jordan IMO
Do the top 10 best all arround players
No Tim Duncan in the Top 10? Dude is the leader of all time NBA Playoff blocks and yet you don’t include him? Damn.
Do greatest rebounders of all time next
One things Hakeem and Eaton and Kareem and a few other guys on this list were good at was actually keeping the ball in play after a block. Blocking the ball to a teammate and or to start a fast break. There’s something to be said for swatting the ball into the mezzanine in terms of making a statement and asserting your dominance. That said, it always annoyed me that guys like Dwight Howard would pretty much swat the ball out of bounds damn near every time. It’s like it doesn’t help nearly as much when you just give the other team the ball back after every block...

Dennis Johnson

@@vikrantverma1125 Kinda strange to list Bill instead of Wilt when Wilt averaged 10.9 and 10.7 in 67 and 68, and Bill never had an average that high. Also Bill never blocked over 20 shots and Wilt blocked 26 and 23 shots.
@@lukecash3500 it's not just how many shots the player blocks but who is the more effective blocker. Russell played defense in such a way that he would have to block less shots but that doesn't mean he is the worse of the two! I have seen people telling stories of players being afraid to come in the paint due to Russell. No knock on Wilt but for me Russell just edges out(second is Wilt of course)
@@vikrantverma1125 the fact that you put d wade and kirilenko speaks fir itself you really know basketball bro
@@jimjim3979 I love learning about the older players. DWade is universally regarded as the best shot blocking guard ever and it's damn right.
Kirilenko on the other hand has three seasons averaging around 3 blocks per game and is easily the best shot blocking SF ever(tbh the played both 3 and 4 but still he is way above his competition). Dr J is probably second!
Whats up keep up the good word
Don't know how Julius Erving doesn't at least get an honorable mention averaging 1.7 blocks per game over 16 seasons at 6'6" and relegated to playing SG at the end of his career. That leaves him 43rd all-time for per game blocks, and there's not another player under 6'9" above him on the list. For reference that's double the career average of a slightly bigger Michael Jordan (9 all-defensive team selections).
Off the top of my head, Mutumbo, Ben Wallace, Hakeem, Tim Duncan etc.
He gave bill Russell and wilt honorable mentions, but that’s doesn’t sound good enough to me, if they recorded blocks back then they would be up there, wilt is one of few people to block kareems sky hook, and when bill Russell would block a shot he would keep it in play and keep blocking their shots until his team got the ball, same for wilt, so in my opinion they should be on the list
but how would he word it?? 😂 what stats would he use to back it up? we know they’re crazy shotblockers but it wasn’t recorded back then so no stats for them to be in this video
They kinda did. All known proven stat lines with blocks included with Wilt and Bill (by Harvey pollack nba statistician from 1946 to around the 2010s) and in those 120+ stat lines they averaged over 8 blocks. One of these games wilt had 20+ blocks and on a side note, Wilt blocked 23 shots on national television. Wilt also reportedly had 27 blocks vs the Detroit pistons who had a 7 footer who was compared to Wilt as a college player often.
To take it a step further, not only were Russell and Chamberlain skilled shot blockers, but they also had sooooo many more opportunities to block shots; given the style of offense during their era. Every team was always trying to shoot from as close in as possible. And there weren't 35-40 3-point attempts per game.....
Manute was special, once he made 5 block's in 7 second's....
Bradley deserves love bc atleast he TRIED to block and did alot of times.
But I give this to Bradley he got dunk on a lot cuz he wasn’t scared to get dunk on he played defense he was either going block u or get dunked on no in between lol gotta respect that
Tim Duncan #5 all time 3,020 block
Elmore smith maybe? Had the most blocks in a game with 17
Honourable mentions to Marcus Camby and Kevin Garnett along with the guys already mentioned in a bunch of comments already

And bill Russell
@@jalenbyrd1511 neither of them recorded a single block so it is very tough to tank them. They are better off being left off of lists like this
@@linkonedgell894 They are better off with YTers who have lots of viewers and clout, YTers like this YTer, actually laying out the facts and treating them like they deserve to be more than a footnote in the discussion.
They aren't just a footnote. There are plenty of reliable facts proving that they put everyone in this list to shame, Nate Thurmond as well not just Bill and Wilt.
Harvey Pollack was a real person. He really was a big part of the nba for 60 years. He really did get them to record rebounds and assists and blocks and steals and contests and deflections. He really was keeping his own records before the league did.
Wilt Chamberlain really did average 10.9 and then 10.7 in 67 and 68. He really did get 23 blocks in a nationally televised games against the Suns on Christmas, 1969. People really did go through all 112 fully filmed games we have of Wilt and determine that his average was 8.8, an average that's ludicrously high even though Wilt was for the most part older or even post knee op (he tore his patella, normally a career ending injury at the time, and went on to play in the postseason). You can say whatever you want about Harvey's records, but you can't argue with people literally watching all the filmed games and agreeing on an average of 8.8, that is indisputable fact.
These are all facts. Well established facts. Just because the league doesn't officially recognize it, that doesn't somehow make it not a fact.
The fact of the matter is that Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Nate Thurmond are the three most prolific shot blockers in nba history, and it's not even remotely close. Even if you lowball the shit out of Bill and Wilt they're still in the 10000 block club, and Nate might be in the club too. That's practically three times as many blocks as Olajuwon.

*Benjamin Wallace is the most underrated NBA player of all time.*
my number one shot blocker is the dream shake
What about muggsy bouges
Yeah I like that order I thought it was pretty accurate. Right downtown Keem in the Admiral
Holy mother of god the guy did it. He fucking snubbed the greatest shot blockers ever. I'm at #2 and he's talking about Mark Eaton, more than likely he's going to mention Hakeem Olajuwon next.
This nonsense can't go on. All these YTers act like Harvey Pollack didn't exist and he wasn't the most revered statistician in the nba for 60 years. The guy got the league to record rebounds and assists. He got them to record defensive statistics. He got them to record more advanced stats like contests and deflections.
When he says he was keeping track before the league did, you stand up and take notice. When he is giving averages you can question whether they got it right every game he sent someone to watch or recorded the defensive stats himself. But you have to be out of your fucking mind to think he was so off that the averages aren't reliable.
And what do the averages say? Several seasons with Bill averaging 9 blocks. Wilt getting all the way up to 10.9 and 10.7 in 67 and 68. Nate having several seasons at 8.
And guess what? Folks working for the nba looked at all the 112 games of film we have for Wilt and said his average was 8.8, and that's mostly Wilt in his mid to late 30s and quite a bit of it is Wilt after tearing his patella (a knee injury so severe it normally ended a player's career).
Oh what else have we got on Wilt. Let's see... A fully filmed game between the Lakers and Suns on Christmas day, 1969, where he blocked 23 shots. And players the world over testifying in interviews that he got 26 blocks in another game.
All of that information is easily available and this guy neglects to give enough respect to all three of those guys? Wtf is this?
Wilts standing jump with his wingspan and ability to palm a ball with each hand makes him the best blocker ever. Only Hakeem comes close but wilt chamberlain is #1.
Hakeem, best all around center ever.
Ever heard of Shaq Kareem or wilt Chamberlin
90s is the golden age of shot blocking centers, shaq avg 2.3 blocks in his career and consider a bad defender lol
Wasnt Shaq a 3x all defensive 2nd team?
Ain't no one gonna talk abt The Admiral's pure muscle, holy shit
Honorable mention to Dwight, Wallace, wilt, Russell, camby, and Thurmond.
Some other Honorable mentions: Ben Wallace,Shaq, and LeBron James.

I was about to be very mad until the very end. (Because you know that Hakeem would be one considering he is first all time) but that “we can’t forget about bill Russell and wilt” really kept me from getting pissed off
Rip manute bol
Elmore Smith is the most underrated shot blocker of all time like he has the most blocks in a single game everybody forgets about him he was a god defender
Last I checked Wilt got 23 (a quarter of the opposing team's fg attempts) in a nationally televised game, Christmas day Lakers vs Suns in 1969. It's all on film. So no Elmore Smith did not get the most blocks in a game. And players across the league have testified that that wasn't even Chamberlain's career high, that his career high was actually 26.

Dikembe mutombo is my favorite shot blocker in the NBA history
Hakeem was drafted number one before MJ… And NO ONE to this day has said it was a bad pick!
as purely a shot blocker i think eaton is the best best single and the season mark highest per game 3rd in percent and 5th in total
I‘m always critical on the old era
I do believe that it was kind of easier back then ( not physically but skillwise)
But Kareem is different, in my view he could have dominated every era, his moves were just on another level
There will never be someone that can use his moves

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZED THAT THE OLD NBA HAD NO RULES ON 3 SECONDS VIOLATION IN PAINT, AND YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH STAND THERE ALMOST ALL DAY AND BACK THEN MOST NBA PLAYERS WERE LESS TALENTED COMPARE IN THE 80'S OR 90'S. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL THAT EITHER BILL RUSSELL OR WILT CAN BE THE GREATEST SHOT BLOCK IN NBA HISTORY. NERVELESS, THEY WOULD HAVE IN THE TOP TEN.
i am glad you mentioned wit and bill. wilt would have been number one and bill number 2. a man Named Pollack who was the most highly respected stats guy in in NBA history and devleoped the keeping. actaully randomly tracked 112 of wilt's games and these were all the last 2-3 years whne he wa solder, heavier from more msucle and having huge knee surgyeres. averaged 8.8 blocks per game of him tracking actaul blocks.
iwlt once blocked 26 shots in a game agasint the pistons. there was a xmas tv game that people have seen and confirmed 23
when walt bellamy first met him he said hello mr chamberlina i am alter bellamy. wilt said nice to meet you you wn't get a shot off in the first hlaf, wilt blocked all 9 shots attempts by bellamy int he first half and then started the 2nd half saying "ok now you can play" and bellamy is a HOF who averages 31 ppg that same season.
a 45 ish year old wilt blocked every single shot in a pick up game in a prime Majic johnson pick up game
Off the top of my head, Mutumbo, and Ben Wallace.
You don’t need stats to know that Russell and Chamberlain were the two best shot blockers ever. In the 100 or so games that were taped of Wilt’s career he averaged 8.8 blocks per game. Most of those games were late in his career when they started taping games.
Yes but you also gotta consider how many possessions per game there were back then as well as the style of play. It was a very post and paint oriented style back then from what I can tell so I don't think stats or direct comparisons tell the whole story.
@@ILOV3BUTT3R that doesn’t cut it. Back then the games were the same length, just a faster paced game. In the early 60’s they shot about 12 more shots per game. That means 6 more per team. If todays teams shot 6 additional shots per game, there is still no one getting close to 4 blocked shots per game, much less 8.
Knowing & getting credit for are 2 different things
Yo I forgot how nasty David Robison and Olajuwon was.
for me mutombo is the best shot blocker ever
MJ would never say that
He isn’t, Hakeem has 600 more blocks then Mutombo and Hakeem has the most block’s in history
Mutumbo comes in second
Lebron block on Curry in the finals was LEGENDARY
And they say '90ies were weak era??
Stojko Vranković honorable mention
I knew it , I saw Akeem in the 90's and I knew he had to be the best blocker , Man, he chased in the air at every time , jumping , like telling the adversaries" Where are you going? Oh, you too?, still trying, hum?Well then" Take this and that, here is a bonus, ,, Come on guys, We are the Rockets" Of the World" 🚀
Thanks for the entertaining while I‘m drunk :)
Nothing you sus
Ye
R.I.P Mark Eaton
To name a few before I watch this video: Hakeem Olajuwon, Mark Eaton, Dikembe Mutombo, Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, KAJ, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, and Alonzo Mourning.
Nate Thurmond also. The only two other players with a higher average were Bill and Wilt.
@@lukecash3500 oh boy that man was amazing! Incredibly underrated!
Wilt period
2:18 Shaqs head says JZ lol
The Dream Shake
You Forgot to mention Classic HOF Players like "Nate Thurmond, Willis Reed, Artis Gilmore, Walt Bellamy, and Dan Issel!!!*" Each of these players were Brutes at The Defensive End in the NBA/ABA, also if Blocks and Defendsive Awards were Recorded in that Time, "They all be in The Top 10 by a Large Margin next to Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Mark Eaton!!!"
Also Wes Unseld, Zelmo Beaty, Dave Cowens, Swede Halbrook, and Darall Imhoff.
It’s amazing what you can forget…. When you don’t want to remember
Wilt chamberlain was the best shot blocker ever
Bill Russell would have 8000 blocks if they counted blocks
“What part of the word best don’t they understand”
If there is ever a video topic which needed to avoid the phrases "NBA history" and "all-time", this is it. Because almost every time it was said, it needed an asterisk, "* Not named Bilt Russlain".
