Kevin Durant has 639 blocks with the OKC Thunder.
Prior to relocating to Oklahoma City, the Thunder were the Seattle SuperSonics. In total, the franchise won one championship in their history. Let’s examine the blocks category and highlight the five all-time leaders in the department.
Ibaka made his NBA debut in the 2009-10 season. While averaging 18 minutes per game, he showed his shot-blocking prowess by averaging 1.3 rejections per game in his rookie season. He then averaged at least 2.4 blocks in each of the next five seasons. He led the league in blocks per game twice, averaging 3.7 blocks in the 2011-12 season and 3.0 blocks in the 2012-13 campaign. During his tenure with the Thunder, Ibaka finished inside the top-four in Defensive Player of the Year voting three times.
The SuperSonics selected Kemp with the 17th pick in the 1989 Draft. In 625 career games with the franchise, he averaged 1.5 blocks.
The SuperSonics took Sikma with the eighth pick in the 1977 Draft. He made seven All-Star teams as a member of the SuperSonics. Known more for his scoring and rebounding, Sikma averaged 1.0 blocks over 715 career games with Seattle.
Durant averaged 20.3 points per game for the SuperSonics while winning the 2007-08 Rookie of the Year Award. He then spent the next eight seasons of his career as a member of the Thunder. He was named the MVP of the 2013-14 season and finished inside the top-five in MVP voting six times with the Thunder. An excellent scorer, Durant also used his length to help out on the defensive end. He had a streak of four straight seasons in which he averaged at least 1.0 blocks per game.
Adams spent the first seven seasons of his career with the Thunder. He avoided serious injury early on, appearing in at least 80 games in three of his first four seasons in the league. Over 530 career games with the Thunder, Adams averaged 1.0 blocks.
