Unbelievable Block Records That Changed NBA History Forever
Since blocks were first tracked by the NBA in the 1973-74 season, Wembanyama became just the third player to include that stat in a playoff triple-double. He also had 11 points and 15 rebounds.
10 – Three Players Tied
The first to reach 10 blocks in the NBA playoffs was Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton against the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of their first-round series on April 26, 1985. Houston went on to win the game, though.
Having been on the receiving end of one such game, Hakeem Olajuwon would go on to match Eaton’s feat in a first-round clash against the Lakers in 1990. In Game 2 of the series that took place on April 29, 1990, “The Dream” logged a triple-double that included 10 blocks, 11 points and 11 rebounds. But the Lakers would go on to win before eventually sweeping the Rockets 4-0.
