Why must we always do this when someone does even the most minute thing or has any accomplishment.

Why can't Steph be great in his own right without bringing Magic's name into it? :patrice:

Steph and Lebron have had almost 40 years between them to prove their case. Nothing they do now can move the needle. They need to be winning NBA championships, MVP's and Finals MVP's and that isn't gonna happen anymore.

Most basketball fans are retarded when it comes to recency bias. Probably the tiktok short attention spans wit it.

Steph ain't fw Magic. Magic was a far better playoff performer. You couldn't stop him or Lakers offense in playoffs. We seen Steph get bullied, targetted on defense and clamped in many series that he lost. Magic barely had any playoff blemish aside from Tragic Johnson moment. It took Steph 6 finals to win a MVP and be the clear best player on his team in a finals series. He had many playoff blemish aside from finals too. And all this not even takin his injuries into account. Magic did it wit many different supportin cast and coaches too. Steph always needed Kerr coachin/system and Draymond/Klay for his game to work. Magic was winnin MVP and makin finals runs coached by Mike Dunleavy and playin wit Worthy, Byron Scott, Sam Perkins and Vlade Divac lol

He don't got no case over Magic. Truth be tol a nikka like Oscar Robertson got a better case over him than he do Magic.

Bron/Steph didn't play in the dogshyt 80s/90s. Their accomplishments are weighted differently.

Look steph is an all time great and give him his credit but he is not on magic johnson level, one guy was the best player in the nba finals as a rookie the other has played 6 finals and only been the clear best in 1 , steph is closer to kobe, duncan , shaq, than he is to magic and guys like lebron

Magic old asf I respect him but nikkas couldn’t play in the 80s the way they can play now. He also played with Kareem his entire career.

Steph UNLOCKS players and makes them reach the peaks of their careers. KD, Draymond, Klay, etc. After Chef Curry’s 2024 Olympic run it’s hard to deny that he’s the best PG of all time
