35 years old Wilt Chamberlain is blocking 24 years old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook twice in the same position. It is the most memorable defensive play to me.
The video is titled "great defensive plays in nba history" not the "greatest defensive plays in nba history". This is just a video of some great defensive plays they wanted to put in the video not every great play.
Whoever’s reading this, i pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
I love that play by Kobe because it says so much about him. There was absolutely no reason for that block to be made by him. Every one of his teammates had given up on the play, but Kobe did not give up
Several great plays here, and I really love the blocks by Jordan and Kobe for their not giving up and "gimme that ball back" mentality, but LaPhonso Ellis just snatching the ball, Wilt blocking Kareem's skyhook, Manute Bol's 4 blocks in a row, and Chuck's two blocks on a 4-1 break away situation...DAMN!
This video goes out to all the people who forget that Defense is truly 50% of the game. Great defense is often just as fun to watch and just as important as great offense 🏀
I hadn't seen that block by Nate Robinson on Yao Ming from the front before, although I've seen the one where he blocks him from behind a number of times, despite it being arguably less impressive.
If someone 7 feet can jump 45” and then throw the ball downwards into the hoop, it would be unblockable because it would be on the way down the whole time.
Blake Griffin is probably the biggest underachiever ever when it comes to defense. Especially if you take into consideration his ridiculous athleticism .....
Greatest defensive plays but somehow doesn’t include LeBron’s Game 7 block, Giannis’ coverage and block of DBook and Ayton in 2021 finals, Holiday stripping the ball off DBook in the same finals and Ginobili clutch block on Harden?? Someone needs to get fired
It does not say "greatest" defensive plays. The title say "great'' defensive plays in NBA history which means not all memorable plays will be in this video, just a few
So Olajuwon blocking Stark's 3p buzzer beater in the Finals to save the season or Olajuwon blocking Jordan's 3p buzzer beater to win the game just never happened?
No game 7 NBA Finals? No Mutumbo clips? No Kawhi one finger block? No 10 steals by Draymond? I'm only saying this cause it says ALL-TIME. So this should be a WAY longer video.
Hakeem olajuwon has better blocks than basically everyone in this video.. (except maybe wilt). all time blocks leader.. and his best one is the title-denying block on john starks.
Title is great, not greatest and appreciate finding some clips beyond the typical Bron on Iggy or Steal by Bird, but this is really missing Big Ben's block on Shaq =)
35 years old Wilt Chamberlain is blocking 24 years old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook twice in the same position. It is the most memorable defensive play to me.
Goal tending is it not?
2nd block was a goaltend
The greatest defensive play of all time, in a game 7 of the finals is somehow missing.
This channel is always trolling.
No way the block had a case over "hondo stole the ball"
It’s regular season only
The video is titled "great defensive plays in nba history" not the "greatest defensive plays in nba history". This is just a video of some great defensive plays they wanted to put in the video not every great play.
Also giannis one in a game 7 as well
The clips of Wilt blocking Kareem and Manute Bol getting 4 blocks in a row are genuinely shocking
Rodman is the king of hustling & rebounding for the Ball🐐
After being blocked MJ took it personal and made a two hand block & steal. Also great defensive hustle by Kobe and great block by LeBron
Those three had some pretty absurd blocks but MJs was just disrespectful
I love how you appreciate those blocks be them 3 of the GOATS. Forever Legends in my Book🐐🐐🐐
"the sky hook is ungaurdable"
wilt: hold my 14 thousand'th
Whoever’s reading this, i pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
2:24 To see an ageing Wilt blocking Kareem's Sky Hook twice in a row in one possession is absurd.
@Someone not goaltend
@Someone oh no, they called goaltending before Wilt was even in the league. That was just a clean block.
Ben Wallace last block was incredible... But the big one on Miami´s Shaq is the best block in NBA history (with LBJ on Iggy)
I love that play by Kobe because it says so much about him. There was absolutely no reason for that block to be made by him. Every one of his teammates had given up on the play, but Kobe did not give up
LeBron's block on Iguodala in the Finals definitely belongs in this video.
Yeah i was waiting for it but idk why they didn’t include it
Giannis block on Ayton better be here
Several great plays here, and I really love the blocks by Jordan and Kobe for their not giving up and "gimme that ball back" mentality, but LaPhonso Ellis just snatching the ball, Wilt blocking Kareem's skyhook, Manute Bol's 4 blocks in a row, and Chuck's two blocks on a 4-1 break away situation...DAMN!
Those back to back blocks by Chuck were awesome, especially grabbing it out of the air.
Good defense is so fun to watch 💯
Any defensive compilation should automatically include Tayshaun Prince and Lebron's block
My favorite blocks in this video are Manute, MJ, Kobe and LBJ
Lebron is insane he's popping off
Rodman will forever be my favorite player.
That LaPhonso Ellis block was ridiculous.
Manute Bol just looks like he's swatting flys there lmao
This shouldn’t have made me so hype but im glad it did
This video goes out to all the people who forget that Defense is truly 50% of the game. Great defense is often just as fun to watch and just as important as great offense 🏀
4:07 CB and Rod two of the greatest rebounders of all time
2:59 Good to see Kawhi smiling on that defensive play.
giannis block on ayton is still the best i’ve seen
LeChasedownblock is missing
I hadn't seen that block by Nate Robinson on Yao Ming from the front before, although I've seen the one where he blocks him from behind a number of times, despite it being arguably less impressive.
NBA us vs eu match would be a good show.
I feel like chasedown blocks are great hustle plays, but not necessarily great defence.
How is Tayshaun prince block on Reggie miller not on here? Or LeBron’s on Igoudala. Both game 7’s
Nate Robinson best block NBA history 🔥🔥🔥
Hmmm no bam block on Tatum?
Naw what impressed me was how high Charles Barkley got to get those blocks😳😳🥶🥶
0:55 dude mutombo really did the finger wagle when it wasn‘t even him blocking the shot
40 yr old mj with hops 🤯
“Iguadola to Curry back to Iguadola!
Up for the lay up, Ohhh!
Blocked by James!”
like the highlights until i saw ben wallace. now i liked it even more 🔥
No ones talking about manute bol 4 blocks in a row i see lol that was insane ‼️
That LeBron Block in the first clip is absolutely freakishly absurd
Mugsy Bogues in that Manute Bol clip. 😆😅
Is there a highlight reel Lebron isn’t on? Also, all of these blocks are insane
Iguodala to Curry back to Iguodala goes for the layup! OH BLOCK BY JAMES!!!!!!
"wow chuck was a beast" ... enter rodman babying him the very next clip
A lot of great blocks are missing Block From James the Bam block on Tatum these were great but totally incomplete
Giannis on DeAndre Ayton 2021 finals not here??? That's crazyyyy
3:02 Griffin grabs the rim with his left hand, slowing his descent. This should have been a tech or goaltending.
Not many ppl remember Ben Wallace defense😢
The best for last.
If someone 7 feet can jump 45” and then throw the ball downwards into the hoop, it would be unblockable because it would be on the way down the whole time.
How is BLOCKED BY JAMES not on here?!
Jrue holiday's block against the Celtics
Blake Griffin is probably the biggest underachiever ever when it comes to defense. Especially if you take into consideration his ridiculous athleticism .....
Jason Maxiell's block ok KG
Tayshaun's block on Reggie
Kawhi's block on Harden
Bam's block on Tatum
Olajuwon's block on Strickland
REAL blocks
the fact that there's no mutombo's block have been showed made me disappointed. such a disrespect for the finger wag ☝☝☝
Why the clips from the 80s looks better than those from early 2000s hahah
Blake Griffin did a 360 for a block shot 🤯
Jordan did that too
Y'all don't realise how special that kawhi def is
2017 LeBron blocked Iguodala
2016
Greatest defensive plays but somehow doesn’t include LeBron’s Game 7 block, Giannis’ coverage and block of DBook and Ayton in 2021 finals, Holiday stripping the ball off DBook in the same finals and Ginobili clutch block on Harden?? Someone needs to get fired
It does not say "greatest" defensive plays. The title say "great'' defensive plays in NBA history which means not all memorable plays will be in this video, just a few
missing Game 5 1993 East Finals, Game 6 1994 Finals, Game 7 2016 Finals, Game 4 2021 Finals
I better see Shannon Brown’s block (even though ref called foul)
So Olajuwon blocking Stark's 3p buzzer beater in the Finals to save the season or Olajuwon blocking Jordan's 3p buzzer beater to win the game just never happened?
2:24 Proof that the skyhook is not unstoppable like people say. Wilt blocked it twice #philly
But Wilt was built different
unstoppable is a term used to describe an extremely dominant move, only a troll would take it literally
He's Wilt
Only he can do it
@@RohanSinghal-ob7zu Actually there's a lot of people who have blocked the skyhook. Wilt is just the most memorable.
People say MJ on the Wizards was "bad." mhm.
bol bocking 4 time is the best one
Lebron block on Iguodala is not here????
They finished it off with ben but forgot ben on shaq jump ball block
Block by James!!!
No way you didn’t include blocked by James
It's funny you forgot THE block.
The Kawhi block/strip on Westbrook..?
that was WIZARDS MJ. OLD AF. and he did it against his FORMER TEAM that he won 6 RINGS with.
No game 7 NBA Finals? No Mutumbo clips? No Kawhi one finger block? No 10 steals by Draymond? I'm only saying this cause it says ALL-TIME. So this should be a WAY longer video.
It does not say all-time it doesn't even say "greatest" the title says "great" defensive plays in NBA history
No Javale Mcgee snatch blocks. Or whiteside
Hey, where’s the no look strip by harden here?
The best is Kobe,Bol no2 and Lebron no3
Damn draymond not in this Vid lol he should be pissed
50 seconds in who is the guy that blocked the shot
laphonso ellis i think
okay I was wrong. LeBron can jump two feet.
D
Giannis block in the finals?
these are blocks not necessarily defensive plays, by mostly superstars
First block clearly goaltend
Where is bam adebayo block jason tatum nba east conference final 2020?
No single tony allen defenses on that grit and grind grizzlies??
Lmao Yao cried after he got blocked by a 5 footer
Tayshawn prince chase down block on Reggie in Indiana ????
Countdown Starts with a big fat goaltend 😂🙈
oppss something is missing
Hakeem olajuwon has better blocks than basically everyone in this video.. (except maybe wilt). all time blocks leader.. and his best one is the title-denying block on john starks.
No blocked by James?
None Olajuwon and Mourning?!
Title is great, not greatest and appreciate finding some clips beyond the typical Bron on Iggy or Steal by Bird, but this is really missing Big Ben's block on Shaq =)
Shannon Blown isn’t here?
Lebrons block = goaltending. The ball was dropping.
W
Where’s Lebron blocking iggy??
I can do the same thing in 2k22-
Clutch? Then where is pacers vs pistons 04 playoffs? Prince blocking Reggies clear layup that would of won the pacers the game/series
