@@nealcassady-yn3bh They’re speaking on most skilled point guard tho. Magic stats are heavily influenced by his size and athleticism which are not Pg skills. Who has the better handle, the better off hand, the better pass left and right, the best full court handle. Who makes the game EASIEST for his teammates. Westbrook averages 8.3 assist for his career, curry 6.5. Do you think Westbrook is a better passer.? When kd was in golden state steph could’ve milked the ball in pick and roll and racked up assist after assist in a Mike Dantoni type offense. But no like a true point guard steph plays the game a way that benefits his teammates and winning first. In the pick and roll steph is too dangerous, he’s instantly doubled for the past 10 years. Setting up 4-3 situations, setting up easy hockey assist for teammates. I done watch guys like harden in his prime get doubled at half court, and throw weak passes because he doesn’t care if he’s not getting the assist. Steph puts it on the money everytime in that situation over 7 footers or who ever with the hook pass left or right creating the 4-3. His game is all about pressuring the Defense, to make the game EASIEST for his teammates, Which is the primary job of a PG. Steph is a different type point guard but he is still a point guard at heart, maxed out in all the point fundamentals. He has no weakness in a point guard trait, but ohh his stats, bro is one of the most sacrificial players to ever play at the expense of winning and playing for his teammates. He is bending the defense off the ball and creating wide open lays for teammates while coming off flare screens. Ain’t that what point guards do, curry does that without touching the ball. His biggest weakness probably is getting 1 on 1 buckets like shooting guards such as D Wade, Jordan, booker, Dame etc. His 3 point shot is used to pressure the defense to break and create openings for his teammates. His 3 shot is used to influence the game as a point guard should, make the game EASIER for his teammates. The celebration makes the defense bend and break even more. Steph curry is a point GOD at heart and is always a step ahead of the defense like a great point guard should be

I think that it’s only because Curry is still playing that so many people think of him as being better than Magic. Same thing as the MJ vs Lebron GOAT “debate”. I put debate in quotes because I think MJ is easily the GOAT and it shouldn’t be up for discussion. 6-0 in the Finals. 6 Finals MVPS. 5 regular season MVPS. Defensive player of the year. College title. Seemingly hit every clutch shot in the playoffs. Won the title each of his final six FULL seasons with the Bulls and did it all in 13 NBA seasons. Spent significantly less time in the league and still has way better/more impressive accolades than Lebron (especially in the playoffs).

@@mattg6390 I find kind of hilarious that you are "tired of the recency bias" towards active players but have nothing to say about retired players being put on an untouchable pedestal as soon as they step off the court. Now, don't get me wrong, I have Magic in my top 3 all time and Steph at 7 or 8, depending on the day. However, to say that is "blasphemy" to put Curry in the same category as Magic, as Mad Dog is doing here, shows exactly that kind of attitude: past legends can never be surpassed because people like him (and there's a lot) reject the very idea to begin with. The bar for active players to be considered on the same level as past superstars gets higher and higher for no reason. Curry actually provides a great example of this. You have no idea how many comments I've seen arguing that if Curry wins one or two more chips then maybe he's top 10, when there's no other superstar with 4 rings that is not considered a top 10 player of all time. Or how many people say stuff like "Magic will always be the goat PG no matter what". You talk of recency bias but in reality active players always get the short end of the stick and are required to prove themselves doing double the work past players did. And quite frankly I'm tired of that attitude.

The NBA is officiated different now compared to when Magic played. So comparing players of different times is hard. There was no restricted zone under the rim when Magic played. Hand checking was allowed and you could restrict the man cutting across the lane without the ball. There also were no flagrant fouls, so fouls to stop a layup could be pretty physical. Also, the step back we see now would have been a travel, and people today get away with palming or a carry that would have been a violation in the past.

Anyone who thinks a 19 year old Steph would've been able to turn Showtime with those Magic Lakers is delusional.

A true point guard is the leader of the team. Therefore, a TRUE point guard involves his teammates in the game. With that said, Magic Johnson was, is, and most definitely the definition of POINT GUARD. You might as well put Curry on the list as a Shooting Guard.

I agree with you. Not honestly a huge LeBron fan. But he is performing at an extremely high level at a advanced age. If Jordan had and was able to perform consistently across the same length of career then I also sure he would be undisputed. However, he acted on his ego and retired twice thereby leaving doubt. Magic and Bird who I both like more had short careers not by choice. Doesn't really matter why but it certainly leaves doubt and speculation of what they could have achieved.

Dang would love for MJ to talk a little bit more on these types of talks.

En cuánto a es reportaje mi opinión es que Magic está entre los primeros 5 jugadores de todos los tiempos de la NBA. Es un jugador completó en la cancha. Llegó a jugar la posición de centró cuándo se lesionó Karim y lo hizo muy bien 👍 👏. Una pena que su carrera deportiva se vio interrumpida. Estoy seguro que si la carrera no se hubiese interrumpida, íbamos a ver mucho más de él cómo jugador. Mucha salud para ese gran jugador.

Curry better

So much of what Johnson does is trackable by stats. His rebounding, his passing (assists), his scoring. He was incredible, and the stats back that up. So much of what Curry does is not trackable by stats, though. As Stephen A. said, just his presence on the floor is enough to create more space for his teammates to do better. He's a black hole. We've never seen a player defended like how most teams defend Curry, and that more than anything else has led to Golden State's success. I'm not ready to definitively choose between them. Just saying that Curry's impact is insanely underrated.

If Reggie Miller , Glen Rice, Ray Allen ,Bird played in this era and shot the volume of shots these guys take their Ppg And 3pt % would be off the charts.

Stephen A's explanation makes a lot of sense to be honest. Michael said it himself - you have to first define what a point guard is, or what exactly we're talking about in order to have a serious debate. Magic Johnson is the very definition of a point guard, if we're leaning on the historical definition. But Steph is something new, something else entirely, so there's no way to really compare the two according to the historical definition of a point guard. The only way to make a comparison would be to look at their overall impact on their teams' offenses and winning overall, and if you are doing that then Steph Curry vs Magic Johnson is an actual debate and could go either way depending on what a person values more.

That’s pretty crazy that MJ actually came out from the shadows and must’ve felt that he had to chime in. MJ not tryna let the narrative be twisted or skewed here!😂
