Who’s the greatest point guard? For some, you might say John Stockton, others would say Bay Area favorites, Steve Nash (Santa Clara) & Jason Kidd (Cal). For a long time, Magic Johnson has been considered the all-time best Point Guard. But as time progresses & 6 Finals appearances have occurred, Stefan Curry is currently considered to be the greatest Point Guard! His strongest proponent of Curry’s status is none other than his fellow Golden State Warriors Power Forward, Draymond Green. When interviewed by ESPN’s NBA Today & asked who’d he pick, Green stated “I gotta roll with the dawg that I rolled in with, and that’s Steph Curry.” Do you agree?
In the meantime, it seems like Magic has heard what Curry & Green have said & has a rebuttal. He uses his statistics to prove his status as #1 Point Guard on a recent radio interview with Zach Gelb:
“OK, so, if he got more than five championships, if he got more than three Finals MVPs, and three league MVPs, then he’s the greatest,” Johnson said of Curry. “If he got more than No. 1 in assists all-time in the Finals, No. 2 in double-doubles, No. 1 in triple-doubles all-time in the NBA playoffs, No. 4 in steals all-time in the playoffs. If he got more than those numbers, then he’s the best.
“If he got more than all those things, he’s the best. But the last time I checked, he doesn’t. But everybody has to decide for themselves who they think the best is.”
