Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul continues to ascend the NBA all-time steals list, moving into fourth place after notching three steals Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He surpassed former point guard and Basketball Hall of Famer Gary Payton.
Since being drafted in 2005, Paul has had a knack for taking the ball away. He's averaged two or more steals per game in 10 of his 17 years in the NBA. He's also led the league in steals six times in his career. His exceptional defense and offensive prowess have been vital to the Suns' success this year as they have the top seed in the Western Conference.
