    Was watching the game and it was a pretty good block. pretty embarrassing.


    However, the way he carried on after the block....


    I miss the days when someone like a Charles Oakley would have come over, had a few quiet words to say, and then spent the rest of the game teaching players like that a lesson.

    I know this didn't count but it still owns them all.

    Now that's impressive, the birdman one, more like the best blooper/embarrasing block.

    As sweet as that Shannon Brown block looked, it was clearly a foul. His body pushes into West's right shoulder well before he gets his hand on the ball. Watch the trailing referee and notice how he immediately blows the whistle when the body contact is made. Even though he was behind the play, he had enough of an angle to see the contact. Good call by the referee.

    I'm still gonna say I like Wafer's better than any others I've seen so far (not counting the Shannon Brown one since it was a foul). Anytime you can get a block like that when playing straight up defense...that's something. You see lots of sick blocks on weak side defense when the guy doesn't know you're there. But getting your **** thrown like that when you are driving on a guy...that's AWESOME.

    I'm partial to the Wafer block mainly because I like seeing blocks where the ball is swatted frequently to the upper decks :).

    Shannon Browns was pretty sick though. Birdmans was a nice one, but roughly 80 times more embarrassing for fernandez lol

    If you look closely Shannon Brown puts his hand on the guy's shoulder, impeding his upward progress. It almost seems like he karate chops him on the shoulder.
