Top 5 all-time LA Clippers blocks leaders

DeAndre Jordan sits atop the LA Clippers’ all-time blocks list with 1,277.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who entered the association as the Buffalo Braves before relocating to San Diego and eventually LA, have won three Pacific Division titles but no NBA championships throughout their 56-year history. Let’s take a look at the franchise’s block leaders, starting with the only currently active player at number one.

1.

DeAndre Jordan

– 1,277 blocks

The 38-year-old is heading into his 19th professional season with the New Orleans Pelicans in 2026-27, but Jordan was an absolute monster during his early years with the Clippers. As Blake Griffin’s high-flying partner in crime in the “Lob City” era alongside Chris Paul, he racked up three consecutive campaigns of at least 13.6 rpg and 2.2 bpg (2014-2016). Over that stretch, Jordan averaged 11.5 ppg, 14.1 rpg, 0.9 apg, 0.9 spg and 2.3 bpg while shooting 69.6% from the field across 241 games. He earned two All-Defensive First Team and two All-NBA (First and Third Team) honors, while finishing top-four in Defensive Player of the Year voting in three seasons.

2.

Benoit Benjamin

– 1,117 blocks

Benjamin was the third overall pick in the 1985 NBA Draft by the Clippers after playing college basketball at Creighton. ‘Big Ben’ spent nearly six seasons in LA before he was traded to the Seattle SuperSonics midway through the 1990-91 campaign. He blocked 2.6 or more shots in each of his five full years there, including a career-high 3.4 bpg in 1987-88. Across 406 appearances (315 starts), Benjamin compiled 13.3 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 1.9 apg, 0.8 spg and 2.8 bpg for the Clippers.

3.

Elton Brand

– 1,039 blocks

The Chicago Bulls chose Brand with the first overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft. ‘E.B.’ went on to share the Rookie of the Year trophy with Houston’s Steve Francis after posting 20.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.6 blocks while leading the league in offensive boards (4.3). LA traded for Brand ahead of the 2001-02 season, and he was immediately rewarded with the first of two All-Star nods as a Clipper. During the 2005-06 season, ‘Old School Chevy’ dropped a career-best 24.7 ppg and matched his career-high with 2.5 bpg, adding 10.0 rpg, 2.6 apg and 1.0 spg while securing his lone All-NBA Second Team award. Brand registered averages of 20.3 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 2.7 apg, 1.0 spg and 2.3 bpg across 459 contests.

4.

Bob McAdoo

– 830 blocks

Not only was McAdoo an elite scorer, but he could also make you pay on the defensive end. The Hall of Famer spent almost five seasons as a Buffalo Brave, from 1972-73 to 1976-77, after he was selected second overall in the 1972 NBA Draft. ‘Mac’ was named Rookie of the Year behind averages of 18.0 ppg, 9.1 rpg and 1.7 apg in 80 games, but the rest of the league was not prepared for his takeoff from there. He won three consecutive scoring titles, averaging more than 30.6 ppg from 1974-76, including a career-high 34.5 ppg during his MVP-winning 1974-75 season. He earned All-Star honors each year and was selected to two All-NBA teams (First and Second) during his 14-year Hall of Fame career.

McAdoo averaged 28.2 ppg, 12.7 rpg, 2.6 apg, 1.1 spg and 2.2 bpg in 334 games with the franchise, where he also set personal bests in blocks (3.3) and rebounds (15.1) at age 22 in 1973-74. He was a five-time All-Star and a member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.

5.

Chris Kaman

– 707 blocks

Kaman enjoyed eight seasons in LA after the Clippers took him with the sixth overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. From 2003-2011, ‘The Caveman’ collected averages of 11.8 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 1.3 apg and 1.4 bpg in 493 contests (425 starts). He earned his lone All-Star appearance in 2009-10 when he tallied a career-high 18.5 ppg across 76 outings. Kaman delivered perhaps his best campaign in 2007-08, though, when he notched 15.7 ppg while dropping career-bests in rebounds (12.7) and blocks (2.8).
