If they'd kept blocks since the 50s, Kareem would still be 3rd, but Wilt and Russell would be 1 & 2

[MAFion]

This record will never be broken I think because of the three point shot's prevalence now.

[miorionomichi]

Easily Wilt and Bill Russell would be 1 and 2 if Blocks were recorded during there time

[joshdavis]

Error near the end -- Shaw Bradley disappears with 2119 blocks but Kevin Garnett appears later with only 2037 blocks.

[matsujonen]

The problem with this list is that they didn't count blocks until 2 of the greatest shot blockers of all time retired.

Manute Bol has 2086 blocks, where’s he?

Question: What did this graph teach me?
Answer: No one has played defense since 2017! 🙂🏀👍🏻

Wilt would be number 1 if they recorded blocks. Someone did record his blocks for his last 112 games. In that time, he averaged 8.8 blocks per game. Wilt played 1045 games. 1045x8.8=9196
That's over 2 times the amount of blocks as Hakeem.

[bitigos]

Happy to see Africa represented in the top 2

[GM-fxjo]

did they only start counting this stat in 1974?

[bar]

Ben Wallace didn't have the longevity of some of the others, but in his prime he was the best shot blocker the game had ever seen.

[Thetone]

This is a joke. Wilt and Russell both probably averaged 10 blocks a game for career.
