Fans are celebrating this display of defensive prowess by Anunoby. They are seemingly in awe of the Raptors player.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

He has been averaging 3.1 steals per game this season. If he continues this streak, he could make history and become just the 8th player with a 3-SPG season. Anunoby is poised to be the first player to achieve this feat in over three decades!

Raptors’ OG Anunoby is on the rise

He already made history after the game against the Dallas Mavericks. O.G. Anunoby became the first player in franchise history to record five or more steals in three consecutive games.

Anunoby has been playing inspiring basketball recently. He expressed that he knew he was the best defensive player for his team and for the league. It does make sense then, that he is also chasing the Defensive Player of the Year award. Notably, he had been very vocal about clinching that title for a while now.

Magic Johnson’s stealing ability made him the number 15 in the NBA all-time steals list. Michael Jordan led the league in that category three times, which is, you guessed it, a record by itself. Both the players were known to be quick with the ball. John Stockton leads the way as the all-time leader in steals with a staggering 3,265 steals.
