    Almost all NBA players are descended from Africa. No surprise that the best in any statistical categories include them.

    How in the world do you start a thread on African shot blockers and not have Hakeem Olajuwon's name in the OP?

    Great sports franchises from New York: Giants and Knicks

    Delicious frozen treats: frozen banana and popsicles

    Famous models named Kate: Kate Smith (I don't know, there's probably a Kate Smith somewhere)

    They shouldn't discriminate blockers to only black players.

    H2h he destroyed skyhooks and if you thought you could hit a layup he just caught your shot in mid-air... doesn't get better than that unless your maybe Bill Russell

    There is no way to make sense of this.

    It is equivalent to:

    "Why are all the best rebounders white Americans?"
    Shawn Bradley, Greg Ostertag, Bob Sura, Jeff Hornacek

    Bol is the guy who popularized the phrase "My bad".

    Why are all the best lovers Irish-Americans? It's not fair to the rest of you.
