Magic Johnson ethers Steph Curry's GOAT PG case

[fifth column]

So is Bill Russell the most impactful player in NBA history?

Yes, 11 chips in 13 years as the anchor/best player is the most impactful player in NBA history.

This wouldn’t even be a topic if it wasn’t for these goofy casuals who were born after 2000

I was born in 84' and Steph is better than Magic.

At what? Shooting

A lot of u need to cut that this era is different blah blah blah, because 20 years down the line someone else might come close to steph stats and then that generation will laugh at this current generation about steph played in a weak, wack period…

Magic best point guard ever

As a sitting chair and governor of the Light Skin Nikka Delegation.

We getting real tired of y’all dark brown to purple black niccas taking shots at us.

Me, Kid (of Kid N Play), Light skinned Khris (from Khross), Common, Michael Ealy, Drake, Boris Kudjo, Nelly, Devin Booker, Curry, @8WON6 @Pressure @Morethan1 @ORDER_66 @Conscious Pilot and countless others are not gonna sit here and continue to let all YALL disrespect the beautiful golden light brown or yellow of our skin.

You’ve been served and see you in court

Shut your lightskin high yella ass up lol.

Meanwhile, I'm male equivalent of Rachel Dolezal for lightskin nıggas too.

At what? Shooting

Overall except rebounding and passing (inside the perimeter). A lot of Magics skills would not transition well in today's game (thanks to Ben Simmons & Russell Westbrick) but Stephs skills would reinvent 70s, 80s ball because he has a quick release that causes the defense to double him, spread the floor and get guys open.

Even AI in his prime wasn't doing what Curry was. The Tyrone Lue, Derrick Fisher's of that time would not hold Curry like they did AI.

2016 Steph performed like a shrimp for the money and did not win a chip

2016 Steph wasn’t even the best player in the league

Eye test that year says different. He burned out a lil in the finals but for a majority of the season he was on one

 

[SymbolicOne09]

Steph won a title in 2022 with the worst team either him or Magic had.

That says more about the current level of the league but its all apples and oranges

 

[Art Barr]

Steph is the greatest shooter of all time no doubt but Magic is the best point guard ever imo. His finals performances are legendary.

Stop with this greatest shooter shyt.

Steph missed the shot to win the finAl's guarded by Kevin love.
Where alternatively kyrie hit the gw.


The shyt is cap.

Air jordan = best shooter.


Best shooter = the person who converts under the most duress.

The rest of that shyt is cap.

Lmao. Magic retired at 31 and no that comeback season doesn’t count.

Steph a great player. Don’t ever bring up awards when you compare him to Magic though.

Magic played center during his rookie season in game 6 of the Finals when Kareem got hurt, scored 42 points, 15 Rebounds and 7 assists.

With a resume like that it’s no secret why Magic is considered a top 5 player of all time.

Steph will never touch that resume..so why is this even a discussion?

Only comparable thing would be the rings argument and he’s still losing that…while getting washed in every other category...

oh, ok. Just shift the goal posts.

You nikkas have the opinions of a Facebook basketball account

 

[kingofnyc]

And you’ve been wrong all that time

this coming from a dude who compared recent quarterbacks to old school quarterbacks by using actual statistics,
and not knowing the old school played less games per season

[Surreal]

Steph isn't a better PG than Mark Jackson and Rod Strickland either
