The steals were not contabilized and were not an official statistic until the 1973-74 season.
Michael Jordan not only led the league 10 times in scoring, he also was the top stealer 3 times and is one of only 3 players who were the top stealers and his team was the Champion that year: Rick Barry in 1975, Magic Johnson in 1982 and Michael Jordan in 1993
Jordan's 3 seasons leading the league added to Pippen's 1994-95 season put the Chicago Bulls at the top of this list. The Hornets are also at the top thanks to Chris Paul who led the NBA in steal the last two season. |
