The 'NBA steals champions' quiz

Created on July 16, 2025 | Total tries: 80 | Average Score: 32.3 out of 49 (66%) | Quiz FAQ

Happy 28th birthday to New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby!

Anunoby is a nine-year veteran who won an NBA title in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors, leading the Association in steals-per-game with 1.9 in the 2022-23 season. Now with the New York Knicks, he played a key role in getting the Knickerbockers back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1999.

Which brings us to today's quiz. While Atlanta's Dyson Daniels has become the premier pick-pocket in the NBA, nobody can afford to fall asleep with the ball with Anunoby on the floor. With that being said, how many of the NBA players to lead the league in steals per game since the merger (1976-77) can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
