Sports Debate: Stephen Curry vs. Magic Johnson: NBA's GOAT PG Debate Is Closer Than You Think

Nobody with any sense thinks Steph > Magic



Who led the league in steals in 1980-81 and 1981-82?

Allen Iverson lead the league maybe 3 years in steals was he considered a good defender?
Playing passing lanes don't mean you play good D. What about the times you gamble and miss you giving up a wide open shot.:smh:
 
Im not sayin Curry better than Magic. Curry has change the way basketball is played down to the youths. He's an unanimous MVP and champion anyone with sense knows you still gotta Respect dudes game.
 
Just so yall know, cause stockton never gave a fuck about fame and hype. He was just a baller. He didn't talk trash.
U don't have to listen to me. But hear great PG like the glove, Kidd, isiah...


Just the mention of curry as greatest PG ever is laughable.

he didn't deserve back to back mvp's just like steve nash didn't

:itsawrap:
 
How you figure?

Nash ain't win shit why even bring him up? Curry hit more 3's in that 2016 season than the entire Bucks squad did that same season. Deserve, he took that shit by doin his numbers every night. Foh

you don't even know basketball so i'm no longer having this convo with you. FOH

:itsawrap:


In the 2004–05 season, Nash led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals and was named the league's MVP. He was named MVP again in the 2005–06 season and was runner-up for a third consecutive MVP to Nowitzki in 2006–07.

No, you're just slow bro. Magic has championship rings, Curry has championship rings you can compare them. Nash has 0 championship rings, Stockton has 0 championship rings they are not in my conversation. Understood.
 
Steph is hated for being light skinned. If he was dark all y’all would be on his dick
Might be some truth to that. He bust ass for a few years and won. I don't hate and understand all the Greats have they time at the top. Best is debatable, his resume puts him in that mix tho.

Light skinned hate. Same goes for his wife
 
That's obviously more of a physical freak thing than a skill thing. No other top PG is tall enough to do that-- It doesn't mean Magic could've retired as a rookie and been the GOAT.

Steph Curry is the pound for pound greatest.
I disagree. Full disclosure: I'm a HUGE Steph fan, BUT he has to be hidden on defense, and that doesn't lend itself to being the greatest pound for pound. Not only would I take Magic over him, but I'd take the Orlando era Penny over him. Penny doesn't get the props he deserves, IMO.
Big players are at a huge disadvantage (pun intended) when the conversation shifts to pound for pound. You're not saying you'd take Magic and 6'7 Penny over him pound for pound, are you?

Magic and Penny were both before my time so I'm not weighing in on this debate... Valid point about Steph's defense, though-- I've often wondered where I place him among offensive threats in NBA history and I've seen too many bad nights from him to put him up there with someone like Kobe. Consistency is important. However, at his best, I think he's the best offensive player I've ever seen and I don't think it is particularly close.





 
Talent-wise you could compare the two. Heart, no. Magic all the way. I'd throw Stockton and Thomas in the mix too. Also, Magic being 6 foot 9 puts him at a huge advantage over the other three. He doesn't have to be as good as them to win. They can't "take over the center position" at 6'1 and win lol. Kidd is also great but doesn't belong in the conversation with these four.
 

Excuses, excuses. We the LAKERS! Motherfuckas still hate us from showtime era, much less the kobe era, and now lebron/AD era.

We the reigning champions, everybody comes gunning for us! But the warriors came with an ass full of "oh".

Warriors hadn't done shit since 1975 until 2015. That's 40 years.

Also, Labron wants to smh the warriors at every opportunity.

Furthermore warrior are the only team to lose a 3-1 series in the championship (you already know to who)

Lastly, the reason they won those last two championships is now in brooklyn.

Now that's

I like curry and respect him as a player and what he's has accomplished in the NBA but he's not on magic level at all. Its not even debatable nor close at all. The stats will prove that.
 
People in here still trying to claim that a 6'9“ point guard that has an amazing eye for the court and can play and defend multiple positions is the number two guard to a 6'4" guy?!?!


:lol: :lol:
