Chris Paul to pass Gary Payton on the all-time steals list?

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul possesses +180 odds of passing Gary Payton for fourth place on the all-time steals list this season. According to NBA statistics, the 11-time All-Star needs 114 steals to reach this milestone. The guard averaged 1.4 steals per game last season.

Dwight Howard to enter top 10 all-time rebounds list?

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard has -200 favorable odds of entering the top all-time rebounds list this season. Needless to say, this milestone will be reached. Howard needs 194 rebounds to accomplish this goal. Last season, the eight-time All-Star 8.4 rebounds per game. In the Lakers’ 121-114 season-opener loss to the Warriors, the 35-year-old earned 6.0 rebounds.

Likewise, Howard is also set to surpass Shaq for sixth place on the offensive rebounds all-time list. Not to mention, his odds are +200. The seventeen-year veteran needs 176 offensive rebounds to reach this milestone.

While many would agree that Shaq is a top-five center all-time, today’s NBA rules make the game easier for players to break records. In some ways, this can diminish the achievements of players from the past. Though, some spectators prefer more foul calls. So, to each their own.
