NBA history is blocked in the top ten: those "defeated" offensive moments

In the NBA field, offense and defense are like a battle between spears and shields. Offensive players always try their best to send the ball into the basket, while defensive players rack their brains to stop it. Today, let’s talk about the players who were blocked in the top ten in NBA history and see how they “defeated” when they attack.

10th place: Vince Carter

Carter, this "half-man and half-god" deducted player, has been blocked many times in his career. He has been blocked 1,248 times in his career. Carter is known for his outstanding bounce and flowing dunks, but in his long career, he will inevitably encounter a hot pot feast against those inside monsters and excellent blockers. He has a variety of offensive styles, including breakthroughs, jump shots, and dunks, but when facing tough defense, being blocked becomes inevitable.

Ninth place: Hakim Olajuwon

Many people may be surprised that "Big Dream" Olajuwon will also appear on this list. His career has been blocked 1,259 times. Although Olajuwon is in the interior defensive gate, he will also encounter tough resistance from his opponents on the offensive end. Although his fantasy steps are superb, when facing some players with excellent physical fitness and strong defensive awareness, they will be seen through and successfully blocked by their opponents.

8th place: Michael Finley

Finley's career was blocked 1,263 times. He is an excellent scorer with comprehensive offensive skills. But in the fierce NBA confrontation, his shooting and breakthroughs are often interfered by his opponent's long arms. He is always actively looking for offensive opportunities on the court, which also gives him more shots, thus increasing the probability of being blocked.

7th place: Paul Pierce's "Truth" Pierce was blocked 1,281 times in his career. He is an offensive kaleidoscope, and he can easily use all kinds of offensive methods. But in his long career, his offense has not been smooth sailing against many defensive players in the league. Although Pierce's singles are great, sometimes when he meets players with better physical fitness and more active defense than him, he will get a "big hat".

6th place: Elvin Johnson

Magic Johnson was blocked 1,317 times in his career. As a point guard, his height is relatively high among defenders and his offensive methods are also very rich. But when facing the assistance of some tall inside players, his passes and layups will also be blocked. The Magician's vision and passing ability allow him to always create opportunities on the offensive end, but sometimes an overly risky offense can also lead to being blocked.

Fifth place: John Stockton

Stoketon was blocked 1326 times in his career. He is a defender who is known for passing and organizing offense, but he also has his own characteristics on the offensive end. Although his breakthrough is not very sharp, he will also try to attack the basket. When facing opponents' defense, his layups and shots will also be blocked by his opponents. Stockton's career is very long, and a large number of games have accumulated more blocked times.

No. 4: Karl Malone

Postman Malone's career has been blocked 1368 times. He is a very strong inside player, and his offensive methods focus on back-to-body singles and mid-range jump shots. But his offense will also be hindered when facing some excellent blockers. Malone's career was very brilliant, but the number of blocked times also reflected the strong resistance he encountered during the offense.

Third place: Shaquille O'Neal's career has been blocked by 1527 times. Although he is a giant inside and has strong dominance in the inside, he will also be blocked by his opponent. O'Neal is huge and has a relatively large target when attacking. Some flexible inside players will use their speed and bounce to block his shots. Moreover, O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage is relatively low, and at some critical moments, the opponent will defend him more targetedly.

Second place: Kobe Bryant has been blocked 1534 times in his career. He is a player with super offensive ability and is known as the "Black Mamba". He has a variety of scoring methods, and is excellent in both jump shots, breakthroughs and back-to-back singles. But in his 20-year career, he will also be blocked against many defensive players in the league. Kobe has a strong desire to win, and he always chooses to take action in the most difficult situations, which also increases the probability of him being blocked.

No. 1: Dwight Howard

Warcraft Howard was blocked 1630 times in his career. He is an inside rebounding and defensive squad, but he will also have trouble on the offensive end. Howard's offense is mainly based on strong attacks at the basket, and his offense will be greatly restricted when facing some equally strong inside players and excellent blockers. Moreover, with the increase of age and the impact of injuries, his athletic ability has decreased and he has been blocked relatively often.

Summary

From this list of top ten blocked, we can see that even the greatest players in NBA history will encounter blocked situations when attacking. This also shows the importance of defense in a high-level field in the NBA. Offense and defense are mutually restrictive. There are no absolute offensive masters, nor absolute defensive masters. While these great players were blocked, they also created countless wonderful offensive moments. Their stories tell us that failure is not terrible, it is important to continue to grow and improve in failure. In the world of basketball, every time they are blocked is a challenge, and they use their strength and perseverance to write their own legends. I wonder what you think about this list?
