Warriors Steph Curry’s 1500 Steals Puts Him in Kobe Bryant and Lebron James Territory
In the NBA there are not a lot of OG veterans left. So as time keeps ticking we must soak in every moment we get to witness their greatness on the court. For instance, recently Golden State’s dynamic superstar accomplished yet another elite feat. Curry has been a stealing machine throughout his career; and now the Warriors Steph Curry’s 1500 steals puts him in Kobe Bryant and Lebron James territory.
Before we get into the specifics in how all of this relates to Bryant and James. Let’s first review the GSW significance of Steph’s historic achievement. This means that in Warriors stealing history Curry has now beat out a lot of franchise talent. Including former teammate Klay Thompson, Chris Mullins, Draymond Green; Rick Barry, Purvis Short, Latrell Sprewell, Tim Hardaway, Sonny Parker and Monta Ellis. Everyone mentioned in the previous sentence make up the list of the Golden State Warriors all-time steals leaders from 1946 to 2024.
Even before hitting the big 1500, Curry quietly slid into the top spot. As of 2024, Stephen became the blue and gold player to hold the designation. Curry became the career steals leader of the Golden State Warriors having completed 1,473 steals for the team.
Through 20 games this season, Curry has averaged 23.0 points, 6.7 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.3 steals on 45/42/92 shooting from the field. To reach 1,500 steals as a guard who doesn’t really average more than two steals a game and has to score 25+ points a game is a massive accomplishment for Curry.

Nonetheless, you are probably wondering how does this stack up against the NBA history books? Yes, Curry is the first Golden State Warrior to get to 1500; but what about everyone else who has been in the game? Well, after looking through records Steph is just the 53rd player in NBA history to hit this milestone. Once again demonstrating why he is one of the best.
However, things tighten up and the number gets smaller when you include things like points as well as assists. When you do that you come to see Curry is one of five players with 24,000 points, 6,000 assists and 1,500 steals. The others are LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden. A very nice grouping of players.
So yes, we love seeing Curry shoot from deep. But he gets the job done in other ways as well. He’s always been fun to watch and we will enjoy seeing how he finishes up his amazing NBA career.
