The Spurs started the day with the devastating news of Victor Wembanyama getting ruled out for the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. Amid the heartbreaking update, they had to remain focused on tonight’s clash against the Suns. So, the San Antonio fanbase was desperately looking for something to cheer about in this difficult time. Well, Chris Paul’s latest accomplishment provided them that opportunity.
In the early minutes of tonight’s game, CP etched his name in NBA history by becoming the sole second rank holder in the list of All-time Steals leaders. Yes, the Point God now has 2,685 career steals, surpassing Jason Kidd, and standing ahead of legendary defenders including Michael Jordan, Gary Payton, LeBron James and more.
Well, that solidifies CP as one of the highest IQ players ever, and as Charles Barkley calls him “the Greatest leader in the NBA” today. Surely, this achievement would bring some joy for Paul in a day that has otherwise been heartbreaking. Making an honest confession about Wemby’s season-ending diagnosis ahead of the game, CP said, “Man, it’s been extremely tough, to say the least. Especially with this organization and how they put everything into perspective.”
Sure enough, even the fans are elated after Paul’s achievement as one wrote, “High-level thievery.”
