All Time Block Leaders Of The NBA

Published by techspotlight under NBA, Records Edit This

Hakeem Olajuwon the two time world champion center for the Houston Rockets in 1994 and 1995 is at the top of the leaderboard for the most blocks ever in the NBA.  He led the league in shot blocking three times in 1990, 1991 and 1993.

The list below contains the Top 10 all time leaders for total blocks during there careers.

3,830  Hakeem Olajuwon 
3,278  Dikembe Mutombo 
3,189  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 
3,064  Mark Eaton 
2,954  David Robinson 
2,894  Patrick Ewing 
2,542  Tree Rollins 
2,520  Shaquille O’Neal 
2,361  Robert Parish 
10  2,356  Alonzo Mourning 

Look how dominant Hakeem was guarding the basket.  There is no one even close to him in total blocks.  He was truly a defensive machine.

Just outside the Top 10 are Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace and Marcus Camby.  Shaq will probably end up in the 7th spot before his career is over.
