BQ:Who's the best man to man defender?

BQ2:The three point line is how many meters long in the NBA?
Here's my list:
1.Bill Russell-His blocking had a big part in that defense that gave Boston 11 rings and acording to the refs he had 8-10 a game
2.Artis Gilmore-He's was a beast on the blocks and had over 700 in the ABA/NBA
3.Dikembe Mutmbo-The man dominated in the paint with his blocking.He was dominating shot blocker
4.Alonzo Mourtning-A powerful shot blocker
5.David Robinson:(This man averged 3,0 bpg and was a beast in shot blocking too)
Chris in NBA History

And how many meters is the Three Point Line in NBA long since the court is bigger and longer

In Europe it's 6,23 or 20 feet

I'm askign because i need to know
Reed:I haven't seen those guys in their primes but i use stats,blocks in career,i see something from their NBA mixes...
 
Best man-to-man is jordan. Gary payton was pretty good too.
3 point line: 6.75 meters(22 ft. 1.7 inches)
Good list of shot blockers. Another great shot blocker was Wilt "the stilt" Chamberlain. Also Ben wallace was good in his prime. Not top five, but he did win 4 defensive player of the year awards.
 
Well, Kareem has the most blocks over a career at 3189. Mark Eaton has the record for most blocks per game, with 3.5. However, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, two of the best shot blockers ever, played before blocked shots became an official stat. They have to be on the list as well.

We'll put those four at the head of the list, and I'll be selfish and put Tim Duncan at number five. Duncan is a smart shot blocker. He takes them when they're there, but he's rarely gambles or goes for fakes.
