We know Wilt did it. There’s video evidence of him blocking the shot. What other players in history are capable of blocking prime Kareem’s skyhook
Wilt did it, Artist Gilmore and Ralph Sampson both did it, I think Walton may have gotten one, though technically before it was that high up, so more of a strip than a block. KG probably could. Russel, without a doubt, the man had springs in his legs. Unironically, Wemby, his measurements are so similar to Kareem that he’d have the reach to block it. Manute or Mutombo wouldn’t have much trouble. Robinson and Hakeem would spike a couple into the stands for sure. Potentially Dwight with his crazy vert
Dwight has an insane vertical for his height. He’s def gonna get his touches
With help defense I feel like more than you’d think but it’d get credited as a steal
Nate Robinson.
Probably all of the very tall players (Bol, Bradley, Muresan, etc.) but Mark Eaton for real.
but Mark Eaton for real
Not saying he couldn’t ever block Kareem’s skyhook, but coincidentally, Kareem broke the all time scoring record with a skyhook shot over Mark Eaton’s outstretched fingers.
This might be controversial, but I’d put good money on Lew Alcindor.
Wemby for sure. Dude is averaging 4 blocks in 20 mins. This dude would definitely smash a few back into the caps face lol
