Chris Paul's effort today (7 steals halfway through the third quarter) got me thinking about this. From memory Kendall Gill had 10-11 steals a number of years ago. Can anyone confirm or better that?
^Larry Kennon, but what is more impressive is that Clyde Drexler got 10 steals twice in his career. One, which notably, he got in his quadruple double game.

That 3/3/90 game must be a typo.

If Olajuwon had two quadruple double games in the span of a few weeks, EVERYONE would know about it.
