- Start date
Steph get them to the finals after Kerr retires, then we can debate that
Magic is the best pg ever, no contest.
Curry gotta get at least 2 Finals MVPs to even start this conversation.

Magic... and it's not even close. Steph is a more prolific scorer than Magic was. That's it.
This is a debate? Seriously?
No it's not a debate
Magic took over for Kareem as a rookie and won a championship.
Steph is revolutionary, no doubt.
However Magic is on some other shit
I’d take Jason Kidd or Isiah Thomas over Curry
Greatest shooter of all time sure but how is that revolutionary? It's gonna be mass little niggas take long ass 3 pointers thinking they shit gonna hit? Steph cool but alot of kids ain't inspired by that beige nigga like that.
All the Golden State "fans" we had here the last 5 years, none willing to defend or project Steph in these threads. That says enough for me.
"Used to" J. Kidd is a top 15 player all-time imo. I would argue he is the third or fourth best pg ever. Do remember how his game evolved as he got older, Jason Kidd was 3rd all time in 3pt made when he retired. Do not sleep on J. Kidd
Steph Curry couldn't guard the person reading this post
No, it's not.
This thread is going about how I expected.
As blasphemous as this might sound, I would start my all time team with Magic over Jordan. Jordan would be my second pick.
Steph is amazing however him being better than Magic is a millennial type of discussion.
Blame the jordan fans for this "rings rings rings" that determines the goat.
Steph has a arguement if we using the jordan criteria of who is the goat. I mean Steph still is active and could easily surpass magic
Steph has beat more future HOF in the playoffs

So steph has to accomplish the same thing as magic in the exact same way he accomplished it?
Steph has beat more future HOF in the playoffs
Exactly
Imagine Steph driving the lane against the Celtics in the era when Magic played.
This not blasphemous at all. Not one bit at all. Magic like Tim Duncan won their first year. Magic was a winner in college as well. It is the point that when magic joined the Lakers that team was NOT built around him. Yet he still won.
How many stars can say they won a chip w/out a team specifically built around them? Kawi, Duncan, Magic.......
Jordan won but his team was specifically built around him. Magic played the hand he was dealt and got it done.
I would much rather take a basketball player where 1 person can play around 4 other players than 1 player and 4 other players have to play around him.
Magic to me is the 2nd best basketball player ever
