Ahh... bringing down the idols... gotta love it! (Y)

I think that was #2 on the top ten blocks of 97/98. Vlade blocking Kobe was in that same top ten.

Vlade blocking Kobe was in that same top ten.

Vlade actually blocked someone?

Well he did it 1631 times in the regular season, 165 times in the playoffs and even twice in the All-Star game. But since flopping isn't a recorded statistic, we can only assume that column would be much, much higher.

That's overachieving for a guy who couldn't jump to save his life. Props to him.

I'm not going to check the video, but is it good old David Vaughn?!? I know he was the Magic's 1st Round pick back in like 96 or somewhere around that time....went No. 20 or something....he panned out as well as Mario Bennett, but ahh well....

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Wed Feb 22, 2006 10:31 pm

The very same David Vaughn, end of the first round '95 to the Orlando Magic.

Number 20 that year was Jason Caffey to Chicago. Number 21 was Michael Finley to Phoenix. I remember that quite distinctly.

by **The X** on Wed Feb 22, 2006 11:12 pm

you would....Bulls pass on Chicago (& Wisconsin alum) boy Fins who immediately becomes a star in Phoenix for Caffey :lol:

and the Bulls spend most of the next decade trying to trade for Fins :lol:

that's right, Vaughn must have been around No. 28 or something....

What use would they have for Finley? They already had a 2 and 3.

by **The X** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 12:55 am

I meant after 1998....from about 98 to 03, they pursued him & failed

Ryan Bowen definantly could've dunked over that dude . :lol:

MJ don't got shit on Ryan Bowen

its an inside joke between me and j.23 for the people who don't get it.

by **Pera** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 3:43 am

OMG he blockt MJ :shock:

and i newer heard of him :roll:

by **j.23** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 6:17 am

i've never seen MJ get blocked while he was in chicago.. actually, clyde drexler got him (weakside swat). the only people i've seen get him clean, by playing him man to man are kemp, artest, payton, marion, and bryant -- with the last two in the 2003 all star game.

on the topic of MJ, what this guy did when he was 40 was frickin amazing.

seeing him torch these guys when he was past his prime makes you wonder what he would do to these cats if he was still in his late 20's - early 30's..

by **dada** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 6:22 am

I think I remember that swat...vaguely.

by **3th** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 6:56 am

nice block

by **maes** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 8:03 am

Damn i thought this was a video of Jordan's "block" when he was on the Wizards where he went up with 2 hands and just snatched a guy's layup out of the air and started dribbling back the other way with it.

That was one of the sickest moves i've ever seen.

What use did the Pistons have for Darko? Obviously, history shows it still worked out fine for the Bulls but it's an interesting what-if, having Finley waiting in the wings to shine in the post-championship era.

Maes- that was Ron Mercer on national TV

Ashamed as I am to admit it, you've got me there. No idea who it could be. :oops:

by **dada** on Thu Feb 23, 2006 11:25 am

Thats the first I ever heard you say you didnt know something. Wow, something must be wrong with the world.
Maybe the Lakers might just get KG and T-Mac if thats the case.
