How could this possibly be a case of "prisoner of the moment"?
Steph is 36 years old.
Prisoner of the moment would apply more to a player who acheived something near the start of their career, or just won their first championship, or just overcome adversity for the first time. Then everyone comes out and tries to rank him over players who have had infinitely more success. What Steph did at 36 is adding to his already extensive resume. At the same age, Magic had only just came back to the NBA after being stuck in that House In Virginia for nearly half a decade.
Folks aren't solely making a decision on what Steph did in the Olympics. They're using it to further his case.
What more would you like Steph to do considering Magic's career was essentially over at this point?

Magic has every right to defend his throne and has just as much stake to that title as Steph, it’s not a blowout in either’s favor and boils down to preference
You can’t just gloss over what Magic Johnson did in 10 seasons like it’s nothing I don’t care how great Steph Curry is and vice versa as great as Magic Johnson was Steph Curry’s impact on the game of basketball and his scoring dominance at his stature is unbelievable and like nothing we’ve ever seen, especially considering he peaked LATE
But I don’t like people acting like there’s an objective answer cause truthfully there ain’t

Look this isnt close, one guy has 5 championships and as a rookie was the best player in the NBA finals, the other guy has played 6 finals and be second best in everyone except one against a young celtics team, curry is an all time great but he is not better than magic, not in passing, rebounding, and controlling the game of basketball. Curry is closer to shaq, kobe, AI, than he is to magic, lebron, kareem or jordan

Magic has to come to grips that this nikka surpassed him
If not than Steph is right on his tail. Needs one more title to put all discussions to bed.
I mean magic retired at 31

Magic did more in less time
Steph is top 10 tho

To put that into perspective, it would be like if Steph retired in 2020. It would be like LeBron retiring in 2016 right after beating Golden State in the finals. That's how much of Magic's prime he had left. He was #2 in MVP when he retired.
No he doesn't
