Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul continues to ascend the NBA all-time steals list, moving into third place after notching four steals Thursday against the LA Clippers. He surpassed Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.
Since being drafted in 2005, Paul has had a knack for taking the ball away. He has averaged two or more steals per game in 10 of his 18 years in the NBA. He has also led the league in steals six times in his career. His exceptional defense and offensive prowess have been vital to the Suns' success since they acquired him in 2020.
