The Top 8 Stat-Sheet Stuffers in Recent NBA History

5. Chris Paul

In the same year that Wade had his career statistical season, Chris Paul did the same. Before his years with the Los Angeles Clippers, Paul was stuck with what was the New Orleans Hornets at the time, serving as the franchise's star player for six seasons.

In 2008-09, Paul thrived alongside his running mate, David West, dishing out 11.0 assists to go with 22.8 points in 38.5 minutes per game. But, as we know with Paul, it's not all about offensive output.

Due to his tenacious defensive effort, Paul also added 2.8 steals per night -- the highest mark of his 12-year career. That matches up with an 11.2 BPM, which was also the highest of his career yet and the second-highest clip in the NBA for that particular season.
