ABA Single-Season Total Steals Record Progression
Every season that raised the bar, and the leader in every season between.
The ABA single-season total steals record is 346, set by Don Buse in 1975. The mark has been raised 1 times since 1973.
Record Holders
2 marks since 1973| Year | Player | STL | Stood for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1975 | Don Buse | 346 | still standing |
| 1973 | Ted McClain | 250 | 2 years |
The earliest marks here are records only in the sense that nobody had done better yet. Season length, schedule and the rules themselves have all changed, so a figure from the 1870s is not comparable with a modern one and is not offered as though it were.
