The Art Of Block Shots

Attention all ballerz & top defenders.Some guys will go coast to coast & gets the easy lay-up or posterized you.But some of you won't let that happen & decided to put on a stop,a full stop by creating the most beautiful block ever made by man today.It all started with tremendous blocks by the legendary players such as Bill Russell & Kareem Abdul Jabaar.Their determination & patience on the court brought up the hype and art of blocking today,& many of them did that.Even the likes of Nate Robinson loves to block shots from big dudes like Yao Ming.So,below are the list I named myself and by inspiration plus the creativity by the players themselves on the way they react upon their ways of block shots.

1-On-1 Blocks : The defenders are prepared to take on anyone,whether the guy brings the rock from coast to coast or he intends to play a 1-on-1 game play,the defender will take him on and blocks at all cost.

Coast to Coast Chaser : This is the type of blocking where the offence made a mistake by fumbling the ball or turns over by giving it away to the defence,& now the defence sprints on the court & heading towards the rim but eventually there will be 1 of the offence players that will chase him and by correct timing and dedication,he manage to block the suppose-to-be easy lay-up from behind.

High 5 Board Blocks : This is the type of block shots that some players love to do when they came from behind and stops from any attempt shots.Such as Steve Francis & Michael Jordan had done this type of blocks,the ball was release in the air by the shooter and they came high flying and blocks the ball by slapping it to the board hard.

I'll Take That Blocks : This kind is a part luck-part strong hands by the shot blockers which they block the shots in any kind by not tapping it away,instead,they intend to catch the ball and grip it and keep it into their possession.

Top Of The Mountain Blocks : Well,you rarely see this kind of block because it is the unsafe ways of blocking.But Dwight Howard always does this block when the shooter made an attempted shot and he will jump high in the air & he doesn't really care who he lands on their backs as long as he manage to put the ball away.He did it once on Ray Allen where after he blocks Ray Ray's shot,he lands on Allen's back & Allen was like,"yo,wtf?",haha.

Get Outta Here Blocks : This block is famous for those shot blockers who loves to smack the ball hard and taps it away into the crowd and see how far can the ball go,the fan's 1st row,2nd?or mayb 4th row?The likes of K-Mart,Birdman Andersen and Amare has done this kind of hard blocks.

Gotcha' Blocks : Gotcha' stands for a sneak-from-behind methods.The shot blocker would jump from behind and eventually taps the ball away from the shooter and that depends on their next action.Wade made a distance 3-pointer shot when he blocked Amare from behind.Kobe did too againts T-Mac back when T-Mac was with the Magics.

I Assist You Blocks : This one is the common ones which we all always watch.The ones where there will be two player involve just to make one single block shot.Where the offence player will make/try a lay-up attempt by hope or by cope while there is one pressuring him,& the other defender prepares for the art of block defence.

Size Doesn't Matter Blocks : Well,it's typical,but like what it says,size doesn't matter,it involves big man blocks small guys and small guys too wants to block big dudes.Easy meaning it's like Shaq blocks Tony Parker and Nate blocks Yao Ming.

Do Or Posterized Blocks : The last art of block shots,where guys that goes for crazy dunks vs. guys that goes for heavy blocks.Well,it's easy,if the dude manages to smack the rock away,he wins,if he fails,he's posterized!!!

So,ladies & gents,which art of block shots do you have?You wanna know?U gotta step on the court and show your dedication,determination and patience while defence mode,and you will see the incoming results,holla'.
