Last night the Phoenix Suns lost a tough game at home to the LA Clippers, 116-107. That sends Phoenix into the All-Star break on a one-game losing streak, but they’re 7-3 in their last ten games played. The suns aren’t at full strength and shots just didn’t fall when they needed to last night. However, with the loss, longtime NBA veteran Chris Paul wrote his name back into the history books. He passed Michael Jordan for third place on the all-time steal list.
Not only is he third in all-time steals, but he’s also third in all-time assists. Chris Paul is the kind of point guard that every coach would love to have on their team. His vision on the pitch is second to none and his quick hands have allowed him to be one of the best smaller defenders the league has seen.
Paul has missed some time this season with injuries, but he will be ready to compete in another championship-caliber roster. NBA betting sites have the suns at (+450) to win the finals this season.
congratulations to @CP3 of @ To sunbathe for moving up to 3rd all-time in career steals! pic.twitter.com/6YIgVKdcYR

Chris Paul is now third all-time for most career steals
With four steals against the LA Clippers last night, Chris Paul is now third in steals on the all-time chart. In doing so, he passed the legendary Michael Jordan with 2,514 and Paul finished the game with 2,515. He is now 170 steals from overtaking Jason Kidd for second.
During his career, Paul has averaged (2.1) steals per game and has averaged (1.6) steals per game over three seasons with the Suns. He is also a six-time steals champion and led the league in six out of seven seasons from 2008-2014. Paul was also selected for the all-defensive team nine times in his career.
Defending is always something he’s proud of and Paul is one of the best PGs the league has seen. Phoenix now has a full week off until their next game on February 24th.
