Alvin Robertson is the best perimeter defender of the hand-check era.

Post hand-check era: Chris Paul had a total 948 steals during his top 5 seasons for total steals & holds the record for most consecutive games w/ a steal.

Bonus:
-Mookie Blaylock had a total of 1042 steals during a span of 5 consecutive seasons.
-Nate McMillan averaged 5.8 steal per 100 possessions :wow in 93-94 when he led the league in total steals (Alvin Robertsons never averaged more than 5 per 100)

None of this really matters, just food for thought.

Well keep in mind Kawhi hasn't played a full season (one of them being the lockout year) and he has also improved his steal rate. So say 2 spg for 70 games a year = 140 over 5 years that's 700 steals. That puts him at around 1300 in 10 seasons. So it's entirely possible that he passes Drob before he reaches 30 yrs old, if he just stays healthy.

If the season ended today, where would Kawhi rank in MVP voting? To me he and LeBron are 2-3 behind Curry.

Add the two guys from OKC and you have the top 5. I can't see any reasonable case for Kawhi to be any lower.

Iceman is 3rd in steals... he was obviously a better defender than Bruce

only stats that should matter.
