Carl Landry's block on Deron Williams to seal Houston's win in SLC was (as Shoals notes at The Sporting Blog) the stuff of legends. (It might even be comparable to Tayshaun Prince's absurd block-from-behind on Reggie Miller earlier this millenia, insofar as a momentum-shifting play which catapaults an unheralded but excellent kid into some decent attention.) Landry was able to deny Deron, sure ... but he couldn't deny the missile-like desire of Rafer Alston. The one-minute mark is the ... sweet spot.

"stuff of legends"? really?
it was a good block by a 6'-9" guy on a 6'-3" guy. but lets not get carried away.
nowhere close to Tayshaun Prince's block.
