Who Blocked It Better? Thomas Robinson vs Isaiah Rider

Blocking a dunk is no mean feat. Throwing one back from whence it came is legitimate cause for celebration.

Thomas Robinson's denial of Corey "Derek Fisher" Brewer was a demonstration of impeccable timing and raw power, leading to a brilliant finish at the other end by Will Barton.

However twenty years ago, a young and brash Isaiah Rider, not content with dunking on the best big men in the league, decided he would take to reverse-posterizing them.

Hats off to Robin Lopez and Chuck Person who responded appropriately to these exceptional defensive plays.

BONUS Pt.1: Al Harrington annihilated by Gerald Wallace.

BONUS Pt.2: Barkley being ridiculous.
