Most blocks before turning 21:
381 โ Josh Smith
318 โ Victor Wembanyama
Wemby needs 64 blocks in his next 10 games (6.4 BPG) to pass Smith's record. He turns 21 on Jan 4th.
On this date in 1961, perhaps the greatest duel ever took place:
Elgin โ Wilt โ
63 PTS 78 PTS
31 REB 43 REB
23-55 FG 31-62 FG
17-24 FT 16-31 FT
Elginโs Lakers won 151-147.
Jayson Tatum on if he feels appreciated:
โHonestly, noโฆ If you took the name and the face away from all my accomplishments and youโre just like, โThis is what this Player A accomplished at 26,โ people would talk about me a lot differently.โ
