Unbelievable Block Records That Changed NBA History Forever

Best of the Rest: Manute Bol averaged more blocks than points in eight of the 10 seasons that he played in the NBA and came close to breaking Smith’s record on multiple occasions. The most notable of those are his two outings of 15 blocks each while with the Washington Bullets. The first of which came against the Atlanta Hawks on Jan. 25, 1986, in Bol’s rookie season and the second was against Indiana on Feb. 26, 1987. Shaquille O’Neal, the most dominant big in recent history, equaled Bol’s 15 blocks against the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets) in his sophomore season. Playing for the Orlando Magic, O’Neal stuffed the stat sheet with 15 blocks, 28 rebounds and 24 points in a 87-85 win over the Nets on Nov. 20, 1993.
