LeBron the new Olympic steals king and other all-time top 10 movers and shakers

PARIS (France) - The 2024 Olympics will be remembered for many reasons. One of them is a number of superstars continuing their Olympic legacy and climbing multiple all-time statistical leaderboards - topped off by LeBron James becoming the new steal king.

The USA superstar is just one of many who spent the Olympics moving up all-time lists with others being James' USA teammates Kevin Durant and Steph Curry; Spain legend Rudy Fernandez; Patty Mills of Australia; Rudy Gobert and Nicolas Batum of France; and Marcelinho Huertas of Brazil.

James came into his third Olympics looking for his third Olympic gold medal. In addition to taking home the gold, the 39-year-old also took over first place in steals along the way, passing Manu Ginobili, Chris Paul and Andrei Kirilenko for 44 steals.

The steals category saw the most changes with multiple players moving up the list. Mills jumped to third place with 40 steals, Fernandez moved to 38 and fourth place and Durant rose to eighth place with 33.

Durant's longevity of his fourth Olympics allowed him to rise into second place in all-time three-pointers made with 88 behind only the great Oscar Schmidt's 103. Mills was playing in his fifth Olympics and jumped to fourth place with 77 and Fernandez finished his career with 56 three-pointers - good for 10th.

Curry will not appear on the all-time three-pointers made list because he was only playing in his first Olympics at age 36. But he showed why he's widely considered as the world's best shooter with 9 three-pointers in the Semi-Finals against Serbia and followed that with 8 triples in the Gold Medal Game versus France. Curry became just the fifth player to make 9+ three-pointers in an Olympic game.
