If you're tall and athletic, there should be no reason that you aren't a good shot blockler

I usually don't bother to mention anything about these things but... What the hell did you just ask?!!?? There's no possible way you typed that, readit, and thought it was a coherent sentence.

I think its a couple things.
-dont care about D
-superstars are obviously athletic as well, making it harder
-big vertical does not mean easier to block shots. it takes dwight like 2 and a half feet to pin a layup at 12 feet, and takes vc like 36 inches. getting upthat high takes a while and is not always easy to time or jump that high with no run up. tall guys got it easier.

I view D as more anticipating where the guy is moving or what move is he gonna do.
At 6'3 I can get the top of the square, but I still have 5'7 dudes laying it up or shooting over me. it just aint that simple i guess (im trash at dbtw)

Just because they can do fancy dunks doesn't mean they can play lockdown defense.

Some people just cannot play defense.

No matter how athletic they are

All of the athletic ability in the world is wasted on defense if you don't apply it.That's like having the winning lottery ticket but refuse to cash it in>
