#6 Dennis Johnson - 675 Blocks
The 3x NBA Champion Dennis Johnson was one the most prominent defenders the league had ever seen back in the day. D.J. was quick with his hands, be it for steals or for blocks and that combined with his offense made him the 1979 NBA Finals MVP as he led the Sonics to their one and only championship.
Dennis Johnson finished his career with a total of 675 blocks and a career average of 0.6 blocks. Dennis played in a league where blocks had just begun to be counted as a stat but Dennis knew their advantage as he racked 97 blocks and an average of 1.2 BPG for the 1978-79 season. “Dennis was a great player, one of the best teammates I ever had,” Larry Bird said.
