He's twenty-three away.

I’m not as interested in this one because there was a limit of number of games played because of baseball or gambling or whatever it was. It’s sort of like how Magic Johnson‘s assists are lower because of HIV and of course, his assist per game is higher because he didn’t play through the non-peak days. If Michael played without ever retiring, he would be higher than what Chris Paul would ever get.

Will LeBron James pass Clyde Drexler this year in steals? He’s 40 steals away and is averaging one per game.

 

[nuraman00]

and is averaging one per game.

I didn't think it was possible for me to ever be disappointed in LeBron James' season stats.

You just pointed out something that made me disappointed.

No, he won't. I'm not even sure if he'll play 40 more games this season. I hope he does.

You got the trivia answer, and I didn't even have to ask it in the form of a question!

What’s one thing I find interesting with Maurice Cheeks and steals?

Spoiler:

He used to be at the steals leader, but he never led the league in any season. This is sort of like how one could technically win the Tour de France without winning any round. Maybe I’m wrong, but basketball reference only shows the top 10 in the year since 72.

Was he the leader before Stockton passed him?

Yes, he was, but that wasn’t the interesting part.

 

[nuraman00]

Yes, he was, but that wasn’t the interesting part.

Barkley always says that Maurice Cheeks could only see out of one eye. Cheeks only saw Dr. J.

Bump, @MHSL82, did you go to the Stockton assist and steal record breaking games because you knew they could be record breaking?

Or were you a season ticket holder, so you went to games frequently, no matter what?

Did you ever go 41/41 on home games?

I was a kid and so I had no restraints of time or money, so therefore I would want to go to any game that I could. I don’t think that I went to all of them, but that wouldn’t have been my choice.

I'm not the only one that falls asleep.

Did Heat's Pat Riley hit snooze button on trade deadline?

The Heat thought they had a dream deal with the Clippers, but Pat Riley was actually dreaming. Fans hope the inactivity doesn't haunt the team and turn Pat Riley's legacy from "Showtime" to "Naptime."

Chris Paul has tied that lame former Bull, as of this second.

Oops, I was supposed to watch his game where he could get the steal that passed obnoxious player.

Wait I did watch it. Either he got the steal after I made my post, or I didn't realize he had already passed him during the game.

 

[nuraman00]

I've said this before, but the league leaders in steals has drastically dropped since 2008-2009. Paul George winning the steals title with at 2.21 is one of the lamest steals titles I've seen.

Then Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler, and DeJounte Murray made it worse with 2.09, 2.08, and 2.03 the next 3 years.

Jimmy Butler won his 2nd steals title with 2.10, after that. Again, sadly low.


Now we have an even sadder steals title. OG Anuoby won it with 1.91 this year.

 

[nuraman00]

Maybe at some point, someone will win it averaging 0.8 steals per game.

 

[nuraman00]

Keyonte George might be the first starting point guard I've seen, average less than half a steal per game.
