Donta Hall
Indiana Pacers (2000-2011)
At a Glance
- Likely the most prolific shotblocker on a per-minute basis in early TMBSL 5.0 history; would be the all-time leader in blocks in TMBSL history if his career hadn't been cut short by contraction
- Multiple time DPOY and member of five different all-defense teams
- Recorded over 4 blocks per game in two different seasons and finished his career on a streak of seven consecutive seasons over 3.5 blocks per game
- Owns 5 of the best 6 blocks per game seasons ever recorded with Stromile Swift being the only other player to break the top 6
- Led a stiff defensive frontcourt with Karim Shabazz and Bol Bol that took the Pacers to a title in 2006 along with high flying perimeter players like Morris Peterson, Victor Oladipo, and Daniel Taurasi
- Finished with 82.7 career win shares, good for a career WS/48 mark of .146
- Retired as the career leader in blocks, a record that took Mitchell Robinson (another creation player) an additional two seasons to surpass
- Remains 5th all-time in career blocks and is one of 7 players with 2500+ blocks and one of 10 with 2000+ blocks
- Owns the TMBSL season record with 348 blocks in 2010, which is stunningly 11.5% more blocks than the second place season in TMBSL history
- One of only 5 players to surpass 300 blocks in a season (a feat achieved a total of 10 times) and owns 4 of the 10 seasons where that was accomplished
- Owns 5 of the top 20 individual seasons for blocks in TMBSL history and 6 of the top 25
