Great Defensive Plays in NBA History 🔥 

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 greatest defensive play of all time, in a game 7 of the finals is somehow missing.

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

The clips of Wilt blocking Kareem and Manute Bol getting 4 blocks in a row are genuinely shocking

"the sky hook is ungaurdable" wilt: hold my 14 thousand'th

Rodman is the king of hustling & rebounding for the Ball🐐

LeBron's block on Iguodala in the Finals definitely belongs in this video.

2:24 To see an ageing Wilt blocking Kareem's Sky Hook twice in a row in one possession is absurd.

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)

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

Giannis block on Ayton better be here

Good defense is so fun to watch 💯

Those back to back blocks by Chuck were awesome, especially grabbing it out of the air.

Any defensive compilation should automatically include Tayshaun Prince and Lebron's block

Manute Bol just looks like he's swatting flys there lmao

That LaPhonso Ellis block was ridiculous.

My favorite blocks in this video are Manute, MJ, Kobe and LBJ

This shouldn’t have made me so hype but im glad it did

How is Tayshaun prince block on Reggie miller not on here? Or LeBron’s on Igoudala. Both game 7’s

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.

Hmmm no bam block on Tatum?

Rodman will forever be my favorite player.

4:07 CB and Rod two of the greatest rebounders of all time

Lebron is insane he's popping off

2:59 Good to see Kawhi smiling on that defensive play.

0:55 dude mutombo really did the finger wagle when it wasn‘t even him blocking the shot

I feel like chasedown blocks are great hustle plays, but not necessarily great defence.

No ones talking about manute bol 4 blocks in a row i see lol that was insane ‼️

like the highlights until i saw ben wallace. now i liked it even more 🔥

“Iguadola to Curry back to Iguadola! Up for the lay up, Ohhh! Blocked by James!”

Is there a highlight reel Lebron isn’t on? Also, all of these blocks are insane

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 🏀

A lot of great blocks are missing Block From James the Bam block on Tatum these were great but totally incomplete

giannis block on ayton is still the best i’ve seen

Mugsy Bogues in that Manute Bol clip. 😆😅

3:02 Griffin grabs the rim with his left hand, slowing his descent. This should have been a tech or goaltending.

40 yr old mj with hops 🤯

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

NBA us vs eu match would be a good show.

Naw what impressed me was how high Charles Barkley got to get those blocks😳😳🥶🥶

That LeBron Block in the first clip is absolutely freakishly absurd

Jrue holiday's block against the Celtics

How is BLOCKED BY JAMES not on here?!

The best for last.

"wow chuck was a beast" ... enter rodman babying him the very next clip

I better see Shannon Brown’s block (even though ref called foul)

Why the clips from the 80s looks better than those from early 2000s hahah

the fact that there's no mutombo's block have been showed made me disappointed. such a disrespect for the finger wag ☝☝☝

Damn draymond not in this Vid lol he should be pissed

Hey, where’s the no look strip by harden here?

Giannis on DeAndre Ayton 2021 finals not here??? That's crazyyyy

Not many ppl remember Ben Wallace defense😢

No way you didn’t include blocked by James

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uJGCySdvlPo.html 8:28 of the linked video. Block on Bob Love. Wilt committing to a Chet Walker layup attempt, who then dished off to Love. One of the greatest defensive plays I’ve ever seen.

They finished it off with ben but forgot ben on shaq jump ball block

The Kawhi block/strip on Westbrook..?

2:24 Proof that the skyhook is not unstoppable like people say. Wilt blocked it twice #philly

Blake Griffin is probably the biggest underachiever ever when it comes to defense. Especially if you take into consideration his ridiculous athleticism .....

Iguodala to Curry back to Iguodala goes for the layup! OH BLOCK BY JAMES!!!!!!

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?

missing Game 5 1993 East Finals, Game 6 1994 Finals, Game 7 2016 Finals, Game 4 2021 Finals

bol bocking 4 time is the best one

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.

Block by James!!!

Tayshawn prince chase down block on Reggie in Indiana ????

Nate Robinson best block NBA history 🔥🔥🔥

It's funny you forgot THE block.

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 =)

Countdown Starts with a big fat goaltend 😂🙈

2017 LeBron blocked Iguodala

Where is bam adebayo block jason tatum nba east conference final 2020?

Lebron block on Iguodala is not here????

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.

People say MJ on the Wizards was "bad." mhm.

Faltou o Ja morango x lakers e lebronha james x warrios

No single tony allen defenses on that grit and grind grizzlies??

Blake Griffin did a 360 for a block shot 🤯

50 seconds in who is the guy that blocked the shot

that was WIZARDS MJ. OLD AF. and he did it against his FORMER TEAM that he won 6 RINGS with.

these are blocks not necessarily defensive plays, by mostly superstars

No Javale Mcgee snatch blocks. Or whiteside

First block clearly goaltend

No blocked by James?

oppss something is missing

Lmao Yao cried after he got blocked by a 5 footer

Dont be sad when youre bald remember the top 5 nba players are also bald

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

Shannon Blown isn’t here?

okay I was wrong. LeBron can jump two feet.

W

Clutch? Then where is pacers vs pistons 04 playoffs? Prince blocking Reggies clear layup that would of won the pacers the game/series

Giannis block in the finals?

The best is Kobe,Bol no2 and Lebron no3

D

I can do the same thing in 2k22-

people commenting 'first' done got no life

Where’s Lebron blocking iggy??

Manute Bol

sorry but nba, thats just embarrassing. where is the block of lebron in the 2016 finals? that was history. he didnt just make a block in a game 7 in the final minutes in a NBA finals, he also managed to be the first to ever come back form a 3-1 deficit. ALL WITH THIS ONE BLOCK!

imagine this comment get s pinned
