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!
