Who is the best shot blocker of all-time?

Olajuwon by couple of miles

then comes Mutombo

(hard to say about Russell and Wilt)

Next, I would take Kareem

then Zo, Eaton, Wallace, D-Robinson, Manute.....

 

All I know is the first and second blockshotter(Bobby Jackson~haha~ that's funny) are Rockets players

 

If expending energy on offense gives Hakeem extra credit, expending energy fighting the hardship in Sudan counts as extra credit. That alone he'll get top 5.


If people would have mentioned the term "greatest shot blocker ever" while Hakeem was playing or made a bigger deal out of it, he'd get more credit for it I think. They threw "greatest dunker ever" at Jordan though that was debatable and not counted as a stat, why couldnt they apply that approach to Hakeem's blocked shots?

 

I saw Wilt Chamberlain play but not Bill Russell.

 

agreed.

they didn't keep stats on blocks during Russell's and Chamberlain's time.
