Note that blocks weren't recorded until Kareem's fifth year as a pro, and that the number of shots Wilt and Russell blocked is indeterminate. Still, a remarkable accomplishment from a great guy. Here is his rejection of Andrew Bynum's dunk attempt
Well... um.... I don't really want to sex Mutombo up, but that looked like a nice, clean block. I also liked his use of himself in the 3rd person.
P.S. Speaking of Mutombo, this was my favourite Darko moment of all time! YouTube - Darko blocks t-mac and mutumbo I loved how Darko didn't back down at all, just stood nose to nose with him and then laughed at the end. Too bad this was also the only time Darko ever showed any passion...
I'm going to try that line on my wife and see if it works. Of course, I'll substitute "TayShawn" for "Mutumbo" though.
Darko back in his Munster days... Darko was probably thinking, 'I wish I spoke better English so I could tell what he is saying. I'll just assume its a funny joke and laugh. hahaha.'
Mutombo has cult- status. Sad that he's going to leave the NBA probably after this season. I'll miss his finger waiving.
You understand DM, ah Dikembe has two voice boxes that's why you hear a lot of garbling when he talks.
Excellent point... gotta believe Russell holds the real record by a wide margin... 5+ blocks a game was more the norm than the exception.
