Atlanta Hawks star Dyson Daniels has rewritten National Basketball Association (NBA) record books after he recorded his latest steal in the 134-102 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday (Mar 18). The latest feat sees him become the man with the highest steals in a season in the last 15 years with 194, surpassing Chris Paul who would go on to record 216 in the 2008-09 season. This also means he averages three steals per match, the most by any player. With 13 games of the NBA regular season and Playoffs to follow he is likely to achieve more.

Dyson Daniels rewrites record books

Playing for the Hawks against Hornets, Daniels started his day with 191 steals to his name before the defender added three more to his tally. The dominating win also saw the Hawks take another step towards the playoffs of the NBA 2024-25 season. However, it is unlikely that Daniels will break the all time record of Alvin Robertson who stands with 301 steals in a season when he recorded the feat in 1985-86 campaign.
