We know Wilt did it. There’s video evidence of him blocking the shot. What other players in history are capable of blocking prime Kareem’s skyhook
Dwight is think could do it.
Maybe wemby, maybe embiid, possibly giannis but that’s it

Compilation of Kareem getting his skyhook blocked by multiple players
Yeah, every player has gotten every shot blocked multiple times, no exceptions not even Kareem. Saw a dude in here the other day who genuinely thought KD’s jumper had literally never ever been blocked lmfao
Prime Dwight Howard could’ve got a couple blocks on the skyhook
Dwight has an insane vertical for his height. He’s def gonna get his touches
With help defense I feel like more than you’d think but it’d get credited as a steal
Dikembe, Yao
Kai Jones
#GOATLIFE
Hakeem and Sampson blocked him multiple times in the western finals
Which was blocked more: The skyhook or Dirk’s one legged fadeaway?
I imagine Kareem took a lot more hooks in his day considering he scored over 50% more points than dirk. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he was also blocked more just due to volume
Wemby for sure. Dude is averaging 4 blocks in 20 mins. This dude would definitely smash a few back into the caps face lol
Really anyone tall enough and athletic enough and they have to get the timing just right. That’s a super super rare combination… Players like Wemby or Gobert could block it.
Yeah, the list of guys that could physically get up high enough is pretty long. Being in the right position, reading it quick enough and timing the jump is what made it so difficult.
Manute bol
Considering that they overlapped for a few years, I’d love to see someone find a video of manute bol doing this.
David Robinson is one of the most athletic big men of all time, I have to imagine with his athleticism, height, and defensive timing, he’d do fine against it. Others that come to mind, Dwight Howard almost certainly could do it. Giannis could probably pull it off, he’s just so long. Probably Wemby but I feel like he’s just cheating with his height and arm length at this point.
Nate Thurmond was a hell of an athlete.
