Not too long ago, we marveled at the fact that only four guys had ever blocked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s skyhook: Wilt Chamberlain did it twice in one game, Ralph Sampson got it once, Artis Gilmore did it but was called for goaltending and Bill Willoughby did it too, which was remarkable since he was only 6-8.
Turns out we missed one: Bill Walton.
In a sense, he sort of cheated as the other guys got it when Kareem was in front of them.
Walton, famously unorthodox in so many ways though not usually when it came to basketball, got the skyhook from behind.
