Larry Steele was the first player to lead the league in steals with 2.7 a game. His nickname was "Man of Steal."

The first player to lead the league in blocks was Elmore Smith. Not quite as cool of a name.

Were Larry Steele's steals totals audited by Ernst & Young?

Just sayin....

Yeah, uh, can we count these things?

P.S. Oh, the word KA-REEM sounds like somebody who is prolific at something... like blocking shots, or scoring...

P.P.S. Magic Johnson getting lots of triple doubles... that tracks too.
