Hall of Famer
I think in a few years people will be saying, damn that Mo Bamba is good. Still doesn't mean he's my pick at 2, not yet anyhow, and as mentioed before, Vlade might not have that luxury.
I love the mention of Wilt Chamberlain. I remember him more from Conan the Destroyer, however Wilt vs Bill Russell, classic big man battles back in the day when there was no question who ruled the court.
Had they kept a record of blocked shots in their day, there's no doubt that one of them would hold the all time record. I always felt that one of Wilt's biggest accomplishments was, at age 35 leading his team (the Lakers) to a world championship while going up against a young 24 year old future HOF'er, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. It took everything Wilt had left in the tank at the time to out play the outstanding superstar.
