How difficult is it to break Olajuwon's 3830 block record?

Preface

On the basketball court, the block is very important, if you can block the opponent's shot or breakthrough head-on, it is equivalent to destroying the opponent's offense, which can greatly boost your own morale, such as Garnett, he likes to roar after blocking the opponent, in order to improve the enthusiasm of his teammates. So who is the NBA all-time block king? That is Olajuwon, Olajuwon has a total of 3,830 blocks in his career, ranking first in history, his blocking ability is the only one in NBA history, will future generations still have a chance to break his block record? Even Uncle Mu and Howard the Warcraft at that time failed to do it, but one of the active players has the opportunity to touch this record, let's see who it is!

Olajuwon 3830 times Trump's gold content

How high is the gold content of Olajuwon's 3830 caps, let's analyze it. As the champion of the 84 diamond generation draft, in that era of advocating the king of the inside line, Olajuwon beat Jordan and others to become the champion, Olajuwon played a total of 15 seasons and was able to get 3 blocks per game on average, you must know that the average of 3 blocks per game in his career is the data of the peak season of many interior players, and the peak of others is only the average of Olajuwon, which is not easy.

At the peak of his career, Olajuwon averaged 4.6 blocks per game, and that was in the '89-90 season. He had 3,830 blocks in his career, an average of 255 blocks in a season. This is very difficult to do, for interior players, the peak period is only ten years at most, and the athletic ability will decline very much in the future, even Uncle Mu and Howard cannot challenge this record.

Uncle Mu, Howard was left behind

Mutombo's career total of 3,289 blocks is 541 less than Olajuwon, and Mutombo is going to play three more seasons than Olajuwon, and the average number of blocks per game in his career is only 2.6, and the peak season was in the 95-96 season, with an average of 4.5 blocks per game, which is not much different from Olajuwon, and he failed to break Olajuwon's record mainly because the peak duration is not as long as Olajuwon, and there is not so much playing time in the later part of his career.

Howard, as the man who was known as the man who could replace James alone, was also strong in defense, almost alone could support the entire team's defensive system, won the honor of the best defensive player three times in a row, and his blocking ability was quite strong, but it was as strong as Howard's career average of only 1.7 blocks per game, and only 2.9 at his peak, let alone surpassing Olajuwon, and even Mutombo's taillights could not be seen.

Brother Thick Eyebrows should stay healthy

As a leader in the NBA new era, he has the ability to integrate offense and defense, defensive movement and blocking ability are the top level in the league, and he has won the block king 3 times in his career, and has averaged 2.3 blocks per game so far in his career, and 2.9 per game at his peak. It looks like it's not as good as Olajuwon, so why do you still say that Brother Thick Eyebrows has a chance? Mainly because Brother Thick Eyebrows was only 19 years old when he entered the NBA, and Olajuwon was not young when he entered the NBA, so Brother Thick Eyebrows has a great advantage in terms of age, and in addition, Brother Thick Eyebrows' caps are relatively stable, and there are almost no big ups and downs, if you play according to the average level, he has a chance to surpass Olajuwon, but the most important point is that he must stay healthy.

Jaren Jackson Jr. needs to play more

Jalen Jr. is also the leader of the new generation of centers, after being selected by the Grizzlies in the 2018 draft, after a period of training, he has now become the top defender in the league, and won the honor of the best defensive player for the first time in the 22-23 season.

Goebel is middle-aged

Speaking of blocks, we have to mention Gobert, who has the title of "French Tower", Gobert's physical talent can be regarded as the top level, and he has been able to contribute 2.1 blocks per game so far in his career, and only 2.7 times per game at his peak, not to mention that this season is Gobert's 11th season, how long will he maintain his peak level? I think at most two seasons, he will go downhill, according to his current data, the probability is unbreakable.

Wembanyama is the most likely

It's too hard to break Olajuwon's block record, and many of the current defenders are only theoretical, so does superstar Wembanyama have a chance to break that record?

This season is Wembanyama's rookie season, he can contribute an average of 3.1 blocks per game, you must know that Olajuwon can only contribute 2.7 blocks per game in his rookie season, it is obvious that Wembanyama has an advantageous position, a rookie player like Wemban, the future upside potential is great, if you want to break Olajuwon's 3830 blocks record, I think a talent monster like Wemban.
