Lakers Historical Records and Statistics:
Steals in the NBA Regular Season |
| Career Total |
In this page you can find the top 50 list with the best totals for career steals. The list includes both the Minneapolis Lakers and the Los Angeles Lakers players.
Magic Johnson is the all-time leader for steals in Lakers history. He had 1,724 in 13 seasons. Kobe Bryant is second and he's the only one with a chance to surpass Magic, but if you consider his average of about 125 steals per season in the last 9 years, Kobe would need at least another 4 seasons to do it.
Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic, Jordan Farmar and Trevor Ariza are the other 2008-09 Lakers on this top 50 list. |
