While helping his Los Angeles Lakers build a 56-43 halftime lead over the San Antonio Spurs, LeBron James added one steal to go along with a stat-line that included 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. That pilfer moved James past Lakers legend Kobe Bryant on the NBA’s all-time steals list. LeBron has now accounted for 1,945 steals which is good for the 15th-most in league history.

James is now staring up at Derek Harper and Allen Iverson who currently rank No. 14 and No. 13, respectively, on the career steals list. The King is only 12 steals behind Harper (1,957) and 38 behind Iverson (1,983)–both of whom we can expect he’d pass before the All-Star break. LeBron would then be contending with Mookie Blaylock (2,075) and Karl Malone (2,085) from there heading into next year.

Throughout his NBA career, LeBron has averaged 121 steals per season. If he meets that number this year, he’d finish the 2019-20 campaign with 2,058 steals. That would be good for 13th on the steals list, just behind Blaylock. But by the end of next season, James would put himself into the top 10 on this list if he maintains that annual average which would give him a projected total of 2,179. That number would be good for eighth on the all-time steals list–just ahead of Hakeem Olajuwon (2,162) and just behind Clyde Drexler (2,207) by 2021.
