If Wemby stays healthy he’ll be on this list for sure

[PrinceSamurai]

I can just imagine how many more blocks Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain have over Hakeem. It is probably like the rebound numbers, where no on comes close to those two.

[konstantinceprasov]

Imagine Wilt stats on that. He blocked skyhook various times.

[aaronhelms]

Just for fun, i watched Wilt in a play off series with Boston.
He averaged 26 pts, 17 reb.10 blocked shots and 7 assists for the series.
I kept the stats.

[aczellargaespada]

I think Wemby will be on this list someday if he stays healthy.

[rodneyperry]

This is another record of Wilts that would never be beaten if they kept those stats

[peteza]

This is a testament to me of how good all of the players in the league are now… super stars are not easy to make anymore because there is so much talent now

[davidgreen]

Although we all know the name that leads to the list in reality, Wilt

[jgrey]

I wonder how many George Mikan had in the 50's, just because he was 6' 10" and there was no goaltending rule at the time.

[dledge]

Hakeem is also top 10 in career steals

[jimfloyd]

If they kept stats on blocks back in the day, Wilt and Russell would be 1-2 and everyone else far behind.

[michaelcorenzwit]

When Wilt was 35 he blocked a younger Jabbar 13 times in one game.

6:21

It's from this point forward that I recognize everybody on the list

[robertfairbanks]

If statistics were kept during the Russell/Wilt era, those two players would be far ahead.

[williamtoad]

Imagine what Kareem’s number would be if they started recording blocks in 1969 instead of 1973

[BigBoi-qsxs]

Bill Russell and wilt chamberlain should be considered #1 and #2 anyways😊

[GuitarNewby]

Artis Gilmore had 3178 Blocks in reality.

[greatonej]

That record won't be touched. The game is played on the perimeter now, with no traditional centers anymore.

[DG-BB]

wilt 8.8 bpg, Bill 8.1 bpg...there are sevearal more ahead of Hakeem but these 2 are the leaders...byFAR!

[dcfunhouse]

blocks were not a stat when Wilt played, but estimates are that he averaged between 8-10 blocks per game, that would have him with more than 2x Hakeen's totals. There is only one GOAT, and his name is Wilt Chamberlain.
