Oh man oh man...the injustice...NBA society so fortunate technology has blossomed. People just don't know about wilt enough due to lack ofnfootagr during that era
@@mei6167 Yeah that's what they would say. I'm probably a casual because I didn't grow up in the era but hearing stories from older family members in detail about that era and seeing video that is luckily do be recorded, it's unreal
When you think about it, a lot more blocks can be snatched. When looking back at some centers that preferred to show off by volleying the ball all the way to bleachers, they could've gained a posession by snatching the ball instead.
I’d say it could be because it might be a lil more of a gamble cause if you go for the grab or snatch and you get contact with the player that definitely could be a decent chance to be a flagrant and if you go for the grab and don’t have secure positioning or handle on it on it the other team may be just get it right back but I would still like to see some more snatch blocks fasho lol
The issue is butter hands most centers have butter hands. And going for the snatch if you fail can give the opponent an easier shot, whereas knocking it out of bound with Less time on the clock can work
In general, the big knuckles gotta be on top, or a good 3/4 of the way to the top of the ball, to snatch block. Those same knuckles will almost always be on the lower half of the ball to send it into the stands. This would presumably make it near impossible to have even HAVE a CHOICE. REALLY, could more than 5% of blocks that went in the stands have been PURPOSELY aimed to stay in play instead? How often, if ever, have you seen a player make touch passes at 12' high? Skil-logically, any claim a SPECIFIC block COULD/SHOULD have stayed in play holds barely a micron of weight. A googolth of a chance of success, and a nanosecond to make the decision.
Whiteside is the best snatch blocker of all time. I love how he loves blocking shots. Defense is so important. When I played in HS nothing got us hype like a good block or dunk
Used to have a history teacher who talked about how Bill Russell would block shots like that and he doesn’t understand why guys these days try to swat the ball into the nosebleeds.
More chance for contact on the player, more chance the opposing team can steal the ball (remember centers are generally the only people doing this and they are generally the worst ball handler on the team) And also its hard to catch it so if you fail the ball goes towards the opponents which is not good
LaPhonso Ellis' block was a staple in a lot of 90s NBA videos. There have been a handful of blocks like that, but none have actually surpassed Ellis'. Even Dikembe was impressed on the play and did the finger wagging for Ellis.
That snatch made me an instant fan of him, back in the day. Just got a Ooooooh out of me watching it again, thinking, WHO WAS THAT, saw it was Lafonzo and got that nostalgia flooding back in! Legend!
Phenomenal compilation. These guys make it look so easy but these snatch blocks are next-level athleticism. They are definitely harder to do than swatting a shot. One has to account for the ball's momentum once it gets released from the offensive player; to halt that momentum completely with one (or both) hands requires extremely adept coordination. If it were easier to do, it would be more commonly seen.
@@hydrofreeze_2254 he was t talking to you he was talking to the RUclips but good for you working for another man I’m sure your living the dream doing what ever u want any time
I personally think that it is so much more satisfying when you go up and just catch the ball, you literally just take it away from them, in some ways, it's more disrespectful than the swat.
Back in the 80s I saw Roy Hinson on a really bad Cavaliers team snatch block a shot taken from just inside the three point line while he was in the paint, around the free throw line. To this day the greatest block I've ever seen but apparently no footage exists of it.

Craziest Snatch Blocks in NBA History...
2nd clip: Olympic Games Beijing 2008
I love how everytime they do a snatch block, they look around for the ref thinking it's a goaltend. If it's a normal block, they don't care.
Some of them are so good they should be credited for a block and a steal
you must feel like the greatest basketball player to ever play the game when kobe bryant thinks your foul was a dirty defensive play
ngl the first one looked like it was going down.
Whiteside from this day is still heavily underrated
Title: In nba history

Bam Adebayo & Hasaan Whiteside are the best Snatch Blocks

glad that tacko got in here
You should’ve put that one ben wallace snatch block, off vert pins it on the glass. My favorite all time center at 6’9
