This Steph Magic thing is ridiculous though

Stephen A’s bytch ass is annoying with all his bloviating drawn out takes

Steph is not a PG

Magic was and is unquestionably the greatest PG ever it’s not even a close

I hate the way people just have no nuance in all things and when it comes to basketball

There should be no comparison

Magic is the best ever PG PERIOD
This.

Steph is more of a combo/2-guard type. If we have an all-time Starting 5:

PG - Magic
SG - MJ
SF - Bron
PF - Timmy D
C - Kareem/Wilt/Hakeem etc

In the era of postion-less hoops, it doesn't matter much....but...Steph would be the GOAT 6th man

Better shooter, that's it. :mjlol: at better player
Yep. But not all things are equal

Steph’s scoring is so much more impactful than everything else Magic does better than him. Steph literally changed the sport , the way players approach the game, the way defense is played, the way offensive sets are established etc…

I know it hurts your soul to even fathom a current player is better than the 80s and 90s legends but it is what it is bruh.

Mfers will swear Bron is better than MJ even though he has less accolades and will argue peak and longevity as the reasons why

But Steph gets criticizes for less accolades and not being a “pure pg” :camby:
Steph is LITERALLY the only play that falls victim to positional rigidity

Everyone dikkeats Jokic because he can pass out the post, operate the PnR, and shoot 3's. Traditional Centers cant do that. But it's a plus for him

has every team scrambling in panic mode every second steph is on the court, but because you cant quantify that with an assist, it doesnt count :martin:

Steph gotta be a traditional player in a league that has evolved since the 80s, but every other player who plays outside of their traditional positional roles is praised

fukkoutta here


Magic johnson was playing the 5 for a lot of his victories in the playoffs/finals, but he was a pure PG :martin:
