| Player | Times blocked | Games Played |
| Carlos Boozer | 14 | 7 |

| Rodney Stuckey | 14 | 7 |
| Carmelo Anthony | 13 | 7 |

That’s my boy, Boozer! That’s my boy! Two Grizzlies on the top ten list? How could that be?! I feel good about Boozer’s ability to maintain here. He’s got the skillset and mindset to make this dream a reality. The best part is that most of this week’s blocks on him were by the Spurs, who he trounced in having his best game of the season.
TOP TEN PLAYERS IN PERCENT OF ATTEMPTS BLOCKED PER 40 MINUTES, AS OF 11.10.09
| Player | Percent Blocked |
| Pops Mensah-Bonsu | 100 |
| Darren Collison | 33.3 |
| Hammed Haddadi | 33.3 |
| Sergio Rodriguez | 33.3 |
| Malik Allen | 28.6 |
| Tyler Hansbrough | 28.6 |
| James Jones | 25.0 |
| Shaun Livingston | 25.0 |
| Joel Pryzbilla | 21.7 |
| J.J. Hickson | 21.4 |
That’s right. Pops has shot the ball once, and it was blocked. It’s possible the Rockets could cut him, meaning he retires this year with at least sharing the championship. Unless Boozer finds a way to get blocked more than all the time.
