    Hakeem averaged 3.1 blocks per game over 1238 games.

    Its rare to find players averaging that many blocks per game in a season these days, let alone an entire career that spans a decade.

    I think its safe for at least the next 15 years.

    I wonder if anyone will ever score 14 points in 33 seconds.

    Defensive 3 seconds killed any chance of someone breaking it.
    I think Oden could have challenged had he not only played 82 games so far in his 4th season career. Take defensive 3 seconds back out and it would give Oden a shot if he doesn't get anymore major injuries.

    I wonder If anyone will ever quit on the court, than proceed to throw his teammates under the bus in the playoffs?

    I wonder if anyone who is an allstar will never win a playoff series in his entire career.

    I wonder what fan would bring up scoring in a blocks related thread about the Greatest Rocket of all time?

    they are called TOFs aka fake Rockets fans.

    Fans who dare even mention a loser in a thread about the greatest winner in Rockets history.

    but they don't care about Rockets history

    the other challenge is to be healthy and consistent.

    a very hard task.

    Maybe Josh Smith if anyone. Smith was the youngest player to block 1000 shots.

    Seems to get them at a decent clip, although nowhere near Dream.

    Congrats Tinman. :)

    No. Most of the youngsters nowadays don't know weak side help as much as Dream did. That's where most his blocks came (that's what DREAM said :grin: ).

    Is this because of the other thread where that L.A. Faker dude was passing Dream in points? :confused:

    Good thread, sir.

    No a chance in hell. Its as untouchable as Nolan Ryan's strike out record.
