When you think about it, a lot more blocks can be snatched. When looking back at some centers that preferred to show off by volleying the ball all the way to bleachers, they could've gained a posession by snatching the ball instead.
I’d say it could be because it might be a lil more of a gamble cause if you go for the grab or snatch and you get contact with the player that definitely could be a decent chance to be a flagrant and if you go for the grab and don’t have secure positioning or handle on it on it the other team may be just get it right back but I would still like to see some more snatch blocks fasho lol
The issue is butter hands most centers have butter hands. And going for the snatch if you fail can give the opponent an easier shot, whereas knocking it out of bound with Less time on the clock can work
In general, the big knuckles gotta be on top, or a good 3/4 of the way to the top of the ball, to snatch block. Those same knuckles will almost always be on the lower half of the ball to send it into the stands. This would presumably make it near impossible to have even HAVE a CHOICE. REALLY, could more than 5% of blocks that went in the stands have been PURPOSELY aimed to stay in play instead? How often, if ever, have you seen a player make touch passes at 12' high? Skil-logically, any claim a SPECIFIC block COULD/SHOULD have stayed in play holds barely a micron of weight. A googolth of a chance of success, and a nanosecond to make the decision.
Whiteside is the best snatch blocker of all time. I love how he loves blocking shots. Defense is so important. When I played in HS nothing got us hype like a good block or dunk
Used to have a history teacher who talked about how Bill Russell would block shots like that and he doesn’t understand why guys these days try to swat the ball into the nosebleeds.
More chance for contact on the player, more chance the opposing team can steal the ball (remember centers are generally the only people doing this and they are generally the worst ball handler on the team) And also its hard to catch it so if you fail the ball goes towards the opponents which is not good
LaPhonso Ellis' block was a staple in a lot of 90s NBA videos. There have been a handful of blocks like that, but none have actually surpassed Ellis'. Even Dikembe was impressed on the play and did the finger wagging for Ellis.
That snatch made me an instant fan of him, back in the day. Just got a Ooooooh out of me watching it again, thinking, WHO WAS THAT, saw it was Lafonzo and got that nostalgia flooding back in! Legend!
@@hydrofreeze_2254 he was t talking to you he was talking to the CZcams but good for you working for another man I’m sure your living the dream doing what ever u want any time
Phenomenal compilation. These guys make it look so easy but these snatch blocks are next-level athleticism. They are definitely harder to do than swatting a shot. One has to account for the ball's momentum once it gets released from the offensive player; to halt that momentum completely with one (or both) hands requires extremely adept coordination. If it were easier to do, it would be more commonly seen.
@@exsum3329 I got 1 on 2 way and on 20 I had demigod 3&D guard he can shoot from half and rip anybody I snatch blocked sumbody with a glove on and he was short
Almost every single one was goaltending. According to the rule #11 of the official NBA rulebook to "A player shall NOT touch any ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to score"
I personally think that it is so much more satisfying when you go up and just catch the ball, you literally just take it away from them, in some ways, it's more disrespectful than the swat.
No he not he he's contributed to championship teams and he's a champion some people aren't going to be stars some are going to be good role players but even then no team that's a great team are great teams without good role players
Kobe’s reaction is probably my favorite basketball clip of all time of Kobe. I’m a true laker hater. But when Kobe passed, a piece of me died too that I never knew existed.
Back in the 80s I saw Roy Hinson on a really bad Cavaliers team snatch block a shot taken from just inside the three point line while he was in the paint, around the free throw line. To this day the greatest block I've ever seen but apparently no footage exists of it.
What's even crazier is that Charles Barkley has been known to do that!! Going up and just snatching the ball right out of the air!! He was only 6'4" so that pretty impressive!!
That one from LaPhonso Ellis is the OG of snatch blocks. The way he held it nonchalantly behind his back made me really appreciate this cool mofo back in the day.

Too bad only a fraction of Wilt's games were actually recorded in film. He had so many of those.
