The Top 10 Steal Leaders Of The 2007-2008 Season
Defensive minded basketball players specialize in locking down their opponents. Being a great defender does not always equivalent into steals. Steals usually come from active hands, quickness and reading the opponent’s plays. Chris Paul who was a viable MVP candidate last year took the #1 spot for the most steals averaged per game. He really elevated his game into being one of the most talented guards in the NBA today. Allen Iverson who has always been a steal king made the list again this year in the #8 spot. Last year he didn’t qualify for the leaderboard because he played less than 70 games.
