Who agrees that the steal is the most overrated defensive stat?

If steals meant something, Iverson would be considered a great defender, as well as LeBron James. They aren't even close to being great on defense. Lets look at the contrary. Bruce Bowen doesn't even average a steal per game for his career, and he's one of the best defenders in the league. The only time steals mean a guy can defend is if they come from big men. An example is Hakeem Olajuwon.
