who averaged the most steals
Mo Cheeks was a big star in the 1980's. Well, he was actually little by NBA standards, but he was big defensively for various winning teams, most notably the 1983 champs from Philly. Cheeks always stole the ball at the right time and he actually averaged 2.1 steals per game for his career!
Paul has won the most consecutive steal titles, with four. Three players have won both the steal title and the NBA championship in the same season: Rick Barry in 1975 with the Golden State Warriors, Magic Johnson in 1982 with the Los Angeles Lakers and Michael Jordan in 1993 with the Chicago Bulls.
