Is Ben Simmons the closest playing style to Magic Johnson?

[goatmane]

The straight bully ball, pushing the ball in transition every possible opportunity. The next gen passing isn't there but what so you think

Lamar Odom 2.0. And that’s if he develops his jumpshot.
Other than him being
6’10 with great court vision...
I don’t see anything in that clip that resembles Magic Johnson.

OP even says there’s no “next gen passing” so...ok...if there’s no next gen passing how do u compare him to Magic Johnson?

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

I would say no but he's a rookie so we'll see what he becomes

What was Chauncey Billups as a rookie ?

What was Kobe's rookie season ?

We'll wait and see what he is

How do you define next gen passing? Imo he’s the most gifted passer out of all the new school passers like him, Zo and etc.

Nah height and build are the only similarities between both players

The player that reminded ne of magic in terms of style of play with the flashy passing was Jason Williams. In terms of impact and court vision however, Lebron remains the closest player to magic.
