[@lifeofhenry6474]

Current players 1. Anthony Davis 2. Myles Turner 3. Rudy Gobert All time 1. Hakeem Olajuwon 2. David Robinson 3. Kareem Abdul Jabbar or Patrick Ewing

[@hrg920]

Top three right now is Rudy Gobert, Hassan whiteside and Jarrett Allen. All time is probably dikembe mutumbo, Tim Duncan, and maybe wilt chamberlain or Shaq or someone idk about all time that’s less clear

Lebron is known for his chasedown blocks but i wouldn’t say he’s known for blocking in general

[@lavluka6210]

Omar Rafati ah I get you, those chase down blocks look insane that’s probably why I said it 😂 cheers man

[@bradleybailey8893]

Yeah LeBron James has a bunch of cool looking blocks but he doesn't actually get that much Blox overall

[@jckdnls9292]

If he played center full time he'd be a shot blocker just bc of his athletecism

[@bradleybailey8893]

As good as James is he wouldn't be able to make it as a center he doesn't have the size or the strength

[@davidbarnard958]

James is definitely one of the best blockers, just not playing in the role that gets as much opportunity as a C or PF.

[@Camhobza]

I’d say the best shot blocker ever is Dikembe Mutumbo (probably spelled his name wrong) but he was so good at shot blocking he won 4 defensive player of the year awards!

[@marmak256]

Bill Russell is also in that conversation, but unfortunately they didn't record stats like blocks per game back then. But from what we have seen and heard he's definetly up there in terms of the best shot blockers.

[@diets_]

Some great “rim protectors” all time would be Ben Wallace, Shaq, Mutombo. Ben Wallace would be a fun reaction. Today’s game would be Rudy Gobert, Hassan Whiteside, Draymond Green (during Golden State’s run). Maybe a reaction on Green’s importance to the warriors would be informative.

[@mobyhuge6334]

[@Pat99999]

React to Blake griffin. He’s one of the best in game dunkers ever

[@Yrgzip0]

James is no where near a top shot blocker in history also statistically he’s not even in the top 50 in the NBA right now (honestly probably not top 100 but it’s hard to find the statistics for top 100 since it mainly shows top 50). .Obviously he’s older but he was never seen as a top blocker he just has good looking blocks that will inflate the amount he’s seen on a highlight reel.

[@Yrgzip0]

Brauwow Yeah thats what I mean he has nice looking chase down blocks that will make it onto highlight reels but being a shot blocker isn’t really his role on the team

[@lokro2207xd]

Justin Sacca he can certainly protect the rim tho.. back in his miami days he could defend big men without a problem.

[@Randomfactsforyou12]

Lebron is nowhere near the best blocker of all time, he just gets a lot of clutch blocks and has some great clips

[@lavluka6210]

The Mighty Midget I get you

[@davidbarnard958]

See, that's what makes me think he actually is one of the best blockers. When it comes down to it and you need a block in a big moment Lebron literally manufactures them...its amazing

[@Rookie11]

I'd say Lebron is the best chase-down blocker. But in terms of total blocks there are better blockers. Also you should react to Dwayne Wade and Dwight Howard highlights!

[@je12ich0]

2:10 Dwyane Wade is 6'4" and is arguably the best shot blocking gaurd ever

[@BJ-bm3vz]

Heres a few players you still need to react to personal highlights of. 1. Nate Robinson, standing at about 5'9" Nate had the opportunity to go pro at almost any sport he wanted to. A generational athlete for sure, the only thing that held him back from being an all time great was his height. Dude was 5 foot 9 so watching him out there among the giants was really fun to watch, he even won a couple dunk contests. Nate had hops. 2. Manu Ginobili, if you look at Manus stats he never really stood out but when you watched him play with no prior knowledge of him or his team you would assume he is their star player when he was actually their 3rd or 4th option at times. He knew coming off the bench and giving the spurs that little offensive burst in the middle of their games would make them go far. He had such a great understanding on angles to make insane passes and had some great footwork when attacking the basket. He wasnt the best athlete in the NBA but made up for it because of his fearless mentality of going out and doing what Manu does. Its really hard to describe the way Manu plays. 3. Nikola Jokic, hes a Center who was blessed with a point gaurds court vision. I was always sceptical about Jokic, I never understood how a guy so big and seamingly out of shape can be efficient in todays NBA where the pace of the game as high as it ever was. Jokic has magic like vision and passing abilities. I know theres a lot more players that have played in the NBA who are probably more "deserving" of a reaction video, but this is my own small personal list to Luka. You may not agree but from the countless number of NBA videos hes done, I think the way these guys play with be more intriguing to him.

Thanks finally you reacted to this

[@lynfidtalamahina2970]

Top assists of the decade!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@Rollaplus]

I think you should try to watch a video on all the NBA rules explained!! It might be a little elementary like the positions explained video you did, but I think it might help you understand just how impressive some parts of the game are! For instance, with block the ball has to be still in upward motion, if its in the downward part of the shots arc and you block it even if it would have missed it'll be deemed goal tending and the points will be given, as well as it cant be above the direct circle of the rim and if it touches the backboard before you get the block again even if it would have missed the opposition will be given the points. Might not be worth making a video although I would still watch it, but just for your own sake could be good to watch and learn about! Defs makes a couple of these blocks even more impressive with the knowledge of that in your mind!

[@JimV18]

Mind blowing

[@musicbyronnie9]

You should react to NBAWorthy's video showing "Lob City" and their best dunks from 2014/15. For some context, Lob City was a nickname given to the Clippers a couple years back because of the amount of Alley Oops they threw each game. That team was led by point guard Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, arguably one of the best dunkers of the decade.

[@peggyneyt3698]

If you didn’t now you can only block the Ball while the Ball is going up. If the Ball is already going down or if the Ball has already touched the backbord is it goaltending and then they count the points to the other team.

[@kennethmataya8035]

James is not the best blocker in the league but I would say that he is one of the most intimidating in the league right now considering his athleticism.

[@williamcruz1521]

Since we’re talking about blocks u should watch Dwayne Wade highlights he’s the best shot blocking guard and the 3rd best shooting guard behind MJ and Kobe

[@ihoopalittlebit]

Regarding LeBron he is a great chase down blocker. There are lots of clips of him coming from behind and running up and slamming the ball off the backboard. He is one of the flashiest blockers if that makes sense

I would say LeBron is the best when it comes to chasedown blocks. When it comes to rim protectors there are better ones in the league right now. To name some: Clint Capela, Kristaps Porzingis, Myles Turner, Hassan Whiteside, Rudy Gobert, JaVale McGee ... Notice how great Rim Protectors are usually Power Forwards or Centers.

Wade (SG) top 3 rim protectors (this season) stat-wise: Hassan Whiteside (C), Brook Lopez (C), Anthony Davis (PF) top 3 rim protectors (active players) stat-wise: Dwight Howard (C), Pau Gasol (PF), Serge Ibaka (PF) top 3 rim protectors (all time) stat-wise: Hakeem Olajuwon (C), Dikembe Mutombo (C), Kareem Abdul Jabbar (C) MY All-Time Fantasy Defensive Team: PG - Dwyane Wade, SG - Michael Jordan, SF - LeBron James, PF - Hakeem Olajuwon, C - Dikembe Mutombo Obviously, the PF and Center players are better rim protectors than Jordan, Wade, and LeBron. However, when you factor in what Wade, Jordan, and LeBron do other than block shots (like speed, IQ, Hustle, Clutchness, Shot-making, Steals, Awareness, etc.), it adds to their defensive value to the team and how that defense translates to offense after a defensive stop, steal, and/or block.

[@koda_manga]

LeBron isn't the best "blocker" in basketball history, but definitely the best "chase-down blocker" at least, which is a very different skill. The block in general is dominated by bigs like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, Dikembe Mutombo etc. The two skills require high technique because you can't touch anything but the ball, otherwise it's a foul, and it requires heavy instinct and IQ for the timing, not get faked etc
