Hawks forward Josh Smith became the youngest player in NBA history to record 900 blocks on Friday night.

Smith blocked a shot from Washington's Gilbert Arenas with 4:26 left in the game, which Atlanta won, to eclipse Shaquille O'Neal as the youngest player to reach the milestone.

The rejection set up a fast break that Smith finished with a slam dunk.

"It was special just to block the shot and then be able to finish the play with a perfect assist from Mike Bibby," Smith told the Associated Press.
