The LA Clippers' All-Time Leaders in Blocks: A Franchise History

Throughout a 56-year history that has seen the franchise evolve from the Buffalo Braves to their current identity in Los Angeles, the Clippers have consistently relied on elite rim protection to anchor their defensive efforts. While the organization continues to pursue its first NBA championship, several standout big men have left an indelible mark on the team's record books by dominating the paint.

Leading the franchise in total rejections is DeAndre Jordan, whose tenure with the team remains synonymous with the high-flying 'Lob City' era. Jordan, who is entering his 19th professional season in 2026-27, accumulated 1,277 blocks during his time in Los Angeles. His defensive impact was most pronounced between 2014 and 2016, a period in which he secured two All-Defensive First Team selections and two All-NBA honors while consistently ranking among the league's top rebounders and shot-blockers.

Elton Brand occupies the third spot with 1,039 blocks. After arriving in a trade ahead of the 2001-02 season, Brand became the focal point of the franchise, earning two All-Star selections. His 2005-06 campaign was particularly impressive, as he matched his career-high of 2.5 blocks per game while contributing 24.7 points and 10.0 rebounds, earning an All-NBA Second Team nod in the process.

The fourth position is held by Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo, who amassed 830 blocks during his nearly five-season run with the Buffalo Braves. While primarily remembered for his scoring prowess—including three consecutive scoring titles and an MVP award in 1974-75—McAdoo was equally effective defensively. During the 1973-74 season, he set personal bests of 3.3 blocks and 15.1 rebounds per game at just 22 years of age.

Rounding out the top five is Chris Kaman, who spent eight seasons with the organization after being drafted sixth overall in 2003. Kaman recorded 707 blocks across 493 games. His most statistically significant defensive season came in 2007-08, when he averaged a career-best 2.8 blocks per game, complementing his lone All-Star season in 2009-10 where he averaged 18.5 points per contest.
