@@sebastiannavarro9066 Well he did play more games than Mike. No knock on wade, it's still wade county down here in s florida, but Mike still has the most blocks per game for a guard in NBA history.

I wonder how much it hurts to be able to block the ball like that. True commitment💪🏾

[@youreallygotmenow4855]

Well, blocking a dunk doesn't really 'hurt' per se, unless one player violently collides with another's body. What could potentially hurt is falling to the floor after heavy contact in mid-air with another player (for reference, think about how Lebron fell after the awesome block at 0:36 in the video).

[@emmanuela7528]

Doesn’t hurt but you gotta have strong arms especially if the dunker goes at it with a lot of force.

[@crashstitches79]

He been doing that since college. D Wade just made different.

[@thegolden807]

He actually holds that record

[@bryant475]

Yep, here's a good starting 5 of players with the highest career BPG for each position: PG= John Wall (0.7 BPG), SG= D Wade (0.9 BPG) MJ is a close second btw, SF= Andrei "AK47" Kirilenko (1.8 BPG, up to 3.3 in his prime), PF= Tim Duncan (2.5 BPG as a PF, 2.2 Overall since he also played a lot at C), C= Mark Eaton (3.5 BPG). I would still put Hakeem the Dream Over Eaton (Hakeem had 3.1 BPG, but was better overall than Eaton).

[@Gboi8]

His blocks look like he materializes out of nowhere its insane.

[@akhilavila7590]

Seeing multiple big time blocks from Lebron is cool, don’t usually see this type of secondary rim protection from a wing. Same for Wade, though his are arguably even more impressive as he’s a guard

[@conanbdetective]

up until his last year or two, Wade did have more total blocks than Lebron

Yeah, but apparently “Lebron has no defense” is still valid. But, you haven’t made it until you have haters!

Timberwolves stole the ball, we stole it back, then they force a miss, run it up the court, Thomas spikes the hell outta the shot, Will The Thrill gets the epic alley oop slam. All within a span of around 24 or so seconds of play. Pure insanity. Pure thrill. The Brook Lopez block on Rodney McGruder however was by far my absolute favorite of this entire sequence. That was the most brutal and thus exciting block of them all. Absolutely a Murder-Suicide lol. Took 'em both out.
