[OC] The 12 most blocked players of all time

12 MOST BLOCKED PLAYERS OF ALL TIME

source: basketballreference.com, play-by-play data

Additional thanks: my friend Lizzy for helping me learn photoshop

Below is a table that puts into context how frequently these players got blocked.

Player % of Total Shots Blocked (career)
S. Abdur-Rahim 10.9
J. O'Neal 9.8
T. Duncan 7.3
A. Walker 7.2
J. Harden 6.8
Z. Randolph 6.7
P. Gasol 6.4
A. Iverson 6.0
R. Westbrook 5.9
P. Pierce 5.8
C. Anthony 4.6
K. Bryant 4.4

Duncan may have the crown on the graph, however Shareef Abdur-Rahim is the absolute king of getting blocked. Here is a mind-blowing chart to show how frequently Shareef was blocked…

Player FGA (career) Times Blocked (career)
Shareef Abdur-Rahim 11,515 1250
Kevin Durant + LeBron James 42,066 1248

Also learned from this chart is the absolutely absurd ability LeBron has to not get blocked. He has 25,000+ career FGA and has been blocked less than 700 times. It’s almost incomprehensible. He scores most of his points on drives and layups/dunks and he’s been blocked fewer times than Ray Allen, 3-point specialist.

Let me know what other kind of content y’all would be interested in! I have the numbers for all the big stars and how many times they’ve been blocked. I am planning to make another chart with the rest of the top 24 guys! Hopefully will be out sometime next week!
