Smith read, “Good morning, sir,”
“Although greatest of anything is always a debate, I beg to differ on greatest point guard of all time, with what you said. Magic Johnson is easily the best point guard of all time. Steph Curry is very close, but not in front of Magic. You must define ‘point guard’ to really have a serious debate.
Further adding, “Steph Curry is by far the best shooter of all time. Yes, his movement has created many shots for his teammates. He’s a career 43% 3-point shooter. But Magic Johnson invented the triple-double. Not true invented, but makes it more noticeable in terms of the impact on the game. It’s a point guard stat, to be honest.
“Magic was the best. We can go on, but I don’t want to take up too much of your time. I know you get the point. By the way, Magic has five NBA championships.”
Curry also broke Ray Allen’s record for most career 3-pointers last season, while Johnson finished his commendable career with 10,141 assists, and his 11.2 assists per game.
Meanwhile, Magic Johnson has won 3 MVP’s, five NBA championships, and three Finals MVP awards.
However, Curry is an incredibly talented player and has multiple awards to his name him as well.
Well, with Curry still active in the league, it quite possible that he might surpass Johnson in a few records soon.
