Oops, I guess I made a bit of a mistake on that one! :(

Beating out Sean Rooks isn't really anything to be proud of! ;)  Knight
isn't really much of a blocker.

I don't believe I ever said that Centers are the only ones that can block
shots.  There are lots of Power Forwards, some Small Forwards, and even the
occasional guard that can block shots fairly well.
