I do not think that a point guard is simply a facilitator so that OTHER people score. To me, a PG is the INITIATOR of plays that the coach sets up. That play may be designed so that someone else shoots at the end. But the play could also be one that ends up in the hands of the PG. So if your PG (Curry) happens to be the greatest shooter of all time, why not set up more plays that end up with the ball in Curry's hands. So Curry is both the INITIATOR and the SHOOTER..

Magic was never doubled and Curry is always doubled, changing the geometry of the court. Ask yourself this - if you had MJ, Lebron, Shaq/Kareem and KD/Duncan in your team already - and had to pick a guard. Who are you picking as the 5th? Curry over Magic any day. Game set and match.

they need to add additional stats like screen assists and assists off double-/triple-/quadruple-teams to really settle this debate objectively once and for all, cuz yes magic is the original definition of a PG but curry quite literally does the same (if not more) as magic's assists by giving open looks without even having the ball in his hands by default of being a decoy as the greatest shooter ever, they're just not tracked. if they were, his total on-ball + off-ball assists would absolutely dwarf magic's on-ball + off-ball assists while still averaging 20 more points😂😂 curry is literally the only superstar in history who can get his 30 in a game and ALSO SEAMLESSLY ENABLE another (super)star to get his 20 or 30 in the SAME GAME. that is exactly why the curry-KD warriors hold the MOST DOMINANT PLAYOFF RUN IN NBA HISTORY...

[@Renvil_]

Having to be "traditional" doesn't make sense when the whole way basketball is played has changed since that tradition was set. Being the ball facilitator and key for enabeling your team mates to get better looks or safer shots is what matters. So when Steph is so impactul that just by being on the floor, the opponents can't not respect him being present, leading to Steph being a catalyst for the rest of his team. That's in effect the same as being the one feeding them the ball. Yes, the league is way more "positionless" in todays line of play, but you therefore also can't be stuck in the traditional way for positions. You should rather look at the ROLE those positions had, and then how those roles are being played out in a broader sense. Doing so clearly shows the impact of the players in said roles/positons. Just look at GSW's other player's stats when Steph is ON the floor, compared to when he's OFF. Number 30 has a terrifying pressence, and him moving around so much while being as deadly as he is from anywhere, means the rest of the team will simply do better. The same way Magic impacted the Lakers in the 80's.

Steph is the most exciting pg of all time. Maybe even the most exciting basketball player of all time. All the shots he had made were without much physical effort and risk of hurting himself and others. Michael et al of his size and height were using a lot of physical strength and brute force to score just two points for the most part, but Steph is almost always effortless vs the kinds of mj and magic et al. This fact made basketball a game only for the giants and powerful. With Steph, even midsize players can play in the big leagues because Steph had shown a way for almost all to excel. I dare to point out that the detractors of Steph in the main support the narrative that pure black power is physical strength--at the risk of being criticized or even hated. Subliminally, they cannot accept the idea that a light-skinned midget like Steph could dethrone goliaths in much the same way that manny pacquiao could not be better than Floyd?! The idea that non-pure black athletes could be better than the typical black superstars is anathema to this narrative. The way this idea would be discussed with or without much emotional explosions, as just a pure intellectual conversation, will measure the maturity of the main proponents of the narrative. Big Aristotle shaq was just proposing or asking to start a conversation on whether Steph could be the goat, pg or whatever, and the narrative's fanatics--mostly not light-skinned themselves or mediocre pg-turned tv commentator--were already peppering Shaq with inquisitors' badgering. I think the NBA has been biased vs Steph and this is a reason why the nba ratings are going down--because Steph is the most exciting basketball player, per Shaq, and yet the refs keep on sidelining him too early just to favor the nba favorite player named lbj. This was too obvious in the Cleveland finals series when the refs, at the behest of the league most likely, was fouling Steph despite jr smith being the one really pushing Steph. No consistency also when it comes to Steph. Honest fans know this has been happening, and so the NBA ratings have been going down the tubes. Steph and his team know this, but they just let it pass because they have to make the whole NBA charade look good. This again happened during the latest series with the lbj-led Lakers--the irrational calls by the refs against the warriors only, and never against the Lakers. The league and the refs as useful idiots wanted the Lakers to win. The result was a lopsided finals because the best teams were not in the finals. Lots more to say but I don't care anymore. I just stop watching the boring games. Like many others I know. NBA sucks!!! Sorry to say but true. Goodbye for now.

Magic would be a step ahead of a ai point guard. So technically magic is what defines so the best point guard. Steph is the better player

[@christineedwards3337]

Game has changed

[@JerryDale-s3v]

I got Magic all day long. Zeek and Steph!!

[@KingOnema]

Steph can dominate with his shooting in magic era but in today's era Magic is just a Ben Simmon

[@jaymac4448]

I've got to push back on one statement. Seth didn't have to face 1 dynasty because the super team mercenaries hopped around. There are only a handful of teams that touched it out over the last 10 years.

[@ramonpower6004]

Define dynasty, cuz don't seem like Jordan beat any dynasty in the finals either.

[@Dnz-zg5km]

For me it's just ridiculous to talk about best pg's, best sg's, best sf's and so on comparing totally different eras of basketball. Today we talk about potionless basketball. We have pass first centers (Nikola), we have point forwards (Lebron, Draymond), since Iverson we had a kind of shoot first point guard. It's just not possible to compare players based on traditional position anymore.

[@skolar702]

You said it yourself when you spoke of the game changing from when Magic played to when Steph is playing. Magic the greatest in his generation and Steph the greatest in his generation. For me that is a case closed. I also see that for any player or position. I rank by generation not by of all time. For example who knows how much the game will evolve again by 2040. It's a meaningless conversation to say of all time but per generation a more worthy conversation.

[@hoopersln]

@@skolar702 very well stated.

[@madarauchiha2953]

Bro, Magic played every position. How tf you say he is a pure pointguard and steph isnt?💀 In my opinion steph is the better pointguard. Steph played with KD, and had help, but he also proved to be able to play alone. Something magic didnt, he ALWAYS had starplayers around. Accolades they are close, and every other aspect as well. In my opinion its extremly close, but i prefere curry as the goat PG

[@Dermi_Sky]

name one player in the GOAT debate who didnt had superstars in his team

[@666Snav]

Gravity > Assists... you're a much more dangerous facilitator than a normal PG. If you count how many openshots wr taken by his teammates due to his gravity, then he 100% beats Magic.

[@danmosley4387]

Nobody has ever got his teammates better looks than Steph. He regularly draws two and three defenders leaving his teammates open for easy buckets. DONE

[@mamboitaliano5592]

Had a long conversation with chatgpt not objective but I was more sided with magic of being the best pg of all time. Chatgpt says steph no matter what, even everything calculated.

[@JoBuGAMING]

so that makes lebron a point guard? draymond? jokic

[@1x.o1-y7j]

If Steph got lots of Superstars in his team too he’ll have better stats than Magic specifically in assisting. They should be thankful he’s not 6’9 like Magic coz he’ll dominate the game like literally.

[@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains]

Curry is a scoring pg that happens to score alot through shooting 3s. His impact cant be measured through stats.

[@Dermi_Sky]

it could be. but we dont have these stats in the NBA. why is double/triple team not a stat? we should track the movement of the defense to or away from a player (easy to do btw), open the map by shooting much or close the rim by much dunking. (defender will be stay more at the 3pt line when curry is on the field then anyone else. but they will be stay closer to the basket against player like kobe, shaq or LBJ who dont do much 3pts in the game) we can take these stats. but then we will see the NBA in other way because player like magic or jordan cant keep up in those stats

[@lv41anothr60]

Steph's not done yet so why compare so soon. I love both, and both can hold that title imo.

[@arashjitsingh5828]

MJ may be overconfident of his era, and not finding the skills of the present generation just, better than them.

[@gc5921]

magic played 13 years and won 5 rings (was forced to retire because of HIV). how many more rings would he have won if he could have played? we won't know. but most likely at least 1 more. steph has played 15 years and has won 4 rings. he's definitely been more impactful in terms of changing today's game. i'm from sf and steph is a hella sick player! but magic might have the edge in the debate here... if we're talking stats.

[@ramonpower6004]

Magic wouldn't have any more rings once Kareem retired the team wasn't the same no more.

[@TheMmi43]

Steph changed the game. All respect to Magic his impact on the game cannot be duplicated. Having said that, my preference is Steph. The game moves faster and is more efficient…. not mention more exciting.

[@joycelago1315]

I’m 63 and it’s Steph

[@weihan-y3i]

If stephen curry can get one more champion and finals most valuable player, I think he can be the greastest of all time in point guard this position.

[@KayC18]

Steph is the best 3pointer ever alive… but the best “point guard” with the sense of initiation of offense and court vision… magic…

[@felipeyuichidantaskato4398]

See the numbers, Wardell so everything you want in a point guard (better than magic), he just don't do it the same way as the other point guards, he generates offense without the ball, he makes his teamates better without the ball, and will carry the ball half court and coordetane offence. He is a point guard, and the greates of all time, magic is the close N⁰2

[@Dermi_Sky]

so you want compare wardell with curry? curry does the same. but is even more dangerous because he can score whenever he wants. Curry is without the ball the biggest thread on the field (said by many active and retired player). you cant let him alone. he can outplay the defense with his incredible ballhandling. he is member of the 50-40-90 club and the only player with 50-45-90 stats ever. Curry opens like wardell the court for his teammates too. he always gets double team or triple team, even without the ball. there is a reason nobody talks about wardell. curry is the 3.0 version of him with way more threads in offense

[@ASGTYS]

36 year old man came in clutch to win gold medal getting double teamed 35 feet out takes it hes 6’2 a 36 year old magic Johnson on the 2022 warriors isnt beating the celtics without klay poole and green sorry curry is the best player to play point gaurd who plays a point gaurd better of course magic johnson but curry is the best person to ever play it

[@84show]

I'll say it's LeBron but Curry's career isn't over. Neither is lebrons

[@arashjitsingh5828]

Steph is the BEST.

[@aldrinmayugba]

steph is not a point guard rather a shooting guard
