probably 13

I know that so people have been trying to verify some of his stats and the dude averages like 8 blocks a game through 110ish games, so probably every year of his career if I was a betting man.

The number might be lower than you’d expect. Him and Bill had similar averages. I’d bet he had 5-7

Not many. He played when Bill Russell did. Bill was the one who was blocking everything.

They did found some old stat sheets or something and now basketball reference shows he averaged 5.4 blocks in his last season.

Edit: there are also other unofficial data sheets of 112 games. In that smple he averaged 8 blocks per game.

Basketball reference just added block stats for Wilt’s last season. He had 5.4 blocks per game at age 36.

Abductions my guy

Wemby 2027-2029

You could have the block title in one game if you had like 150 blocks

I think saying it like this makes it sound even more impressive..

He could have played 10 games less and still won the blocks title..

Wemby would have averaged 4 if he played in an era where everybody played within the paint

Most of the big ones all overlapped at least some. The 90’s were kind of insanely loaded.

Mutombo David Hakeem Ewing Zo Shaq Bradley

Then you had GOATs like Eaton and Bol that did most of their damage in the 80’s.

So all the greats kind of cannibalized each other.

I feel like that’s not even close to being arguable. He would have to be actively trying to sabotage on offense for his defense to not be worth keeping him on court, throwing the Ball out of bounds whenever he touches it on offense kind of shit

I dunno. I hear he’s no different than that Bol Bol guy. And he’s almost outta the league.

Pffftt, he’ll be lucky if he can avoid getting dropped to the G-League

He’ll run away with the record for blocks titles, no question. I’ll bet he doesn’t get the all time record for blocks though.

Nirvana?

Nah, there’s still tall players in today’s game, but the game is played at a faster pace and 3pt shooting has only been rising leading to less shot attempts near the rim on average compared to the era of say Olajuwon, Duncan, Mutombo, etc.

You don’t even have to go back over a decade to see how far the league has come. In 2016, teams on average were attempting 24 threes per game. This season it’s at 37 attempts a game.

Back in 1994, Olajuwon’s mvp year, teams on average attempted just under 10 threes a game and the majority of the offense was shots at the rim thus leading to more chances to block shots.
