Michael Jordan was totally right about Steph Curry.
Michael Jordan was totally right about Steph Curry but no one listened almost a year ago now another goat debate emerged across Sports talk shows because of this are you the best point guard [Music] ever yes a debate for Steph Curry or Magic Johnson for the greatest point guard of all time and after what Steph did on the international stage it’s time to have the debate again so who you got Steph Curry or Magic Johnson because at the time this debate first cropped up Stephen A Smith received a text that might have put the argument to bed for good I have to read you a text that I received this morning Magic Johnson is easily the best point guard of all time Steph Curry is very close but not in front of Magic by the way magic has five NBA championships that quote this morning at 545 was from Mr Michael Jeffrey Jordan wow how about that

I highly doubt michael jordan was up texting SAS at 5am
Straight cap
Curry is getting his fifth championship this year
Magic Johnson is "easily" the best PG OAT; Steph Curry is "very" close.
The statement doesn't really make sense. Saying something is 'easily' the best suggests that nothing is even close.
So Jordan Poole is better than Charles Barkley bc Poole has a ring and he doesn’t?? That makes no sense if they were to ever 1v1 curry would work the 6’9 pg. Magic gots nothing on curry!!
Is MJ saying that Bill Russell is the GOAT as Bill has 11 rings? Is MJ saying that the number of rings is the main deciding factor?
Sorry. Magic is better.
Jordan is wrong and shows old dogs can’t learn new tricks sadly and I’m a big Jordan fan…. Curry is easily the best point guard…. Magic has 5 rings but curry got the only unanimous MVP in the history of the nba…. UNANIMOUS
Both great. But Steph
After having the entire league copy his playstyle, Curry still has 4 rings to date, and is still the scariest player in the league for people to guard at age 37!
Curry is so good at shooting and passing that he’s facilitating plays by just BEING on the court! He’s a point guard that’s making his team better even without having the ball! He’s the definition of an efficient point guard to extents even Magic couldn’t. Curry makes most plays into 4-on-3 for the rest of his team, if he’s not also drawing in the 3rd and/or 4th man as well…
While Magic was unprecedentedly exceptional, played in a way nobody his size had ever done, to an effect nobody has been close to even replicate, his impact is simply just 2nd to Steph’s if you factor in the whole picture.
Michael Jordan being like «You see… 5 > 4 rings, so Magic is better.» is like saying the rest of their teams has no impact in the rings they have and that compating rings, which is a team acheivement—not individual, is a metric to compare two individuals by; which is simply absurd!
Rings tells more about how the team(s) a player’s on performs compared to the oppsition of the time. Yes, you need to be great to help lead your team to win the Finals, but equating that to personal acolades in a generic sense is just flawed lapse of reasoning.
It’s like how the phenomenon Michael Jordan is undeniably the GOAT, the basketball player Michael Jordan is probably just behind LeBron James in the GOAT debate at this point.
If you look at popularity MJ wins, if you look at statistics LeBron wins.
It’s all a matter of perspectives and what you are comparing.
If Nicola Jokic can stay healthy and continue playing the way he’s doing right now for another 10 years, he’s probably gonna smoke both of them in the statistics portion of the GOAT debate, but he’s unlikely ever gonna be more popular than either of the aformentioned two. The Nuggets literally fall appart when Jokic is not on the court! He is the literal definition of MVP every single game they play!
So when comparing Curry to Magic, the picture is so much more than just rings or stats or popularity. It’s about longevity, it’s about influence opponents, it’s about how the team functions with or without you, it’s about being able to step up when the team needs you—the clutch factor, and so much more!
When it comes to "Best Point Guard of All Time", there are only two people even close to the top of the debate; Magic and Curry. Nobody else comes close to 2nd place, but with how the standing is, Curry is ever just ahead of Magic.
Steph what kind of fucking question is this???
Stop comparing. If curry didn’t have the 3 or didn’t shoot too many him and Chris Paul would be the same. Basketball is way easier today so stop comparing generations especially today that doesn’t play defense
Boy wait until they play with mods. MC is a game that keeps on giving
Isaiah & Pete are laughing it up
The day Michel jorden admits that curry’s is anything will be the day the crown on Nike falls, this is why curry’s the most unfairly treated basketball ball player ever, he would if he would get the whistle fairly, there would be no debate who the best player is
Curry all year long
So bill Russell the goat
Curry sorry don’t care 😂
What's the point of comparing? They're both great players 🤷
Steph for sure
5 rings just means you were on the best team…. Has nothing to do with the best at an individual position 🤨
Magic could play center.
