I mean magic retired at 31

He was still getting buckets as fat magic 95-96. He could have played a couple few with Shaq and Kobe if he got in shape.... probably would have gotten that kobe/Jordan finals some thought would happen.

I just don't buy into Curry as a PG. i never understand why he's always talked about as one when he's always played as a SG.
They only call him PG because he's 6'2"

If he was 6'6" and played the same way, he'd be universally viewed as a 2.

Elite shooting from a PG is like running ability as a QB. It's a huge benefit, but you don't rank 1's by shooting. Steph is the GOAT shooter. Beyond that, Magic is better.

J-Kidd, Zeke...then you get into the Big O, Bron types that are point forwards but function like PGs

If that running QB won 4 titles he’d be ranked just as high as anyone else at that position outside of Brady.
