[@TheDwight12]

​@@RaulFlores-ge7uhand better rebounder. Magic is a better passer but not by much

[@michaelcarrig627]

​@@TheDwight12 That is crazy. Magic's passing was far better than Bird's and any player to that point. He catalyzed the Lakers to play offense in an entirely new way, which was high possession AND high efficiency basketball. Raw stats do not represent how good of a passer Magic was, between 83-91 he had between a 42-49 assist percentage, Bird's highest was 28.9 (good but incomparable). He was better at the rim (Bird shot less than 50% from two 6 times, Magic 1 time; and Magic averaged 54% for two compared to Bird's 50%), he was a better ball handler, he was a better passer, and he was better at playing the passing lanes. He started his career as a mediocre free throw shooter, but by the end was well above 85% for his last 8 years (averaged 88/89 before he retired the first time). Bird was a superior defender before his injuries, but Magic's effect on the offense was massive. You can see this in his offensive win shares, where he had 4 years higher than 11, 3 higher than 12. Bird hit 11 offensive win shares once. And position mattered in the 80s, while Magic would defend the interior, he also defended wings far more than Bird and therefore was not in the same positions to grab rebounds. He was a fantastic rebounder. I am not saying this to you, but rather to those who didn't get to experience Magic. Bird was a dead eye who transformed isolation basketball, while Magic was a maestro that changed how team offense was played.

​@michaelcarrig627 If Bird had the ball as much as Magic did he'd be just as great of a passer. Just watching the 2 Bird because of his shot had more variety in passes he could make. Magic made regular passes look flashy and difficult. Bird made high difficulty passes look somewhat easy. Bird is a better rebounder scorer defender and team leader. Magic wasn't even the best player for some of his chips. Magic is extremely underrated but not as good as Bird

[@PeterAtkinson]

I’m baffled by the crew saying that Steph has the longevity over Shaq. Shaq had 14 straight seasons averaging 26 and 12, Steph’s currently only had 12 seasons averaging 20 and 6 so far in his career (that’s including his 2020 injured season). Shaq 14 All NBA selections to Steph’s 8, that’s 8 first team selections for Shaq to Steph’s 4. Not saying you can’t have Steph above Shaq all-time, but stating he’s got longevity over Shaq is factually wrong as of 2024.

[@remnant8898]

14 straight? No, he didn't. His last season averaging that was in 03, which makes it 10, and then his numbers dropped significantly. It's still very good, but 27ppg to 21 is pretty steep. Comparing allstar and all nba appearances for two different positions is faulty. Shaq was accumulating almost half of his when most elite centers were too old or retiring. Steph was competing against arguably the most stacked era for pgs in history. Shaq has played 19 years versus Curry's 16. You look at the last 10 years for each, and Curry clears him by a mile. As a matter of fact, curry is still playing at an elite level, whereas Shaq slow3d d9wn tremendously by his 12th or 13th season.

[@PeterAtkinson]

@@remnant8898 I was talking his overall average across those 14 seasons, I mistyped and was meant to put 26 and 6 for Steph. I was also referring to seasons where they were considered one of the best players in the league. Shaq’s prime was during the slowest paced seasons of all time, so his ppg dropping was still elite overall. He was still in MVP conversations during the mid 2000s, including runner up in 2005. I didn’t include All Star games as they are popularity contests unlike All NBA selections. I agree Steph’s prime was during arguably the greatest point guard era of all time, but most of Shag’s prime was during inarguably the strongest era for NBA centers ever, that’s why I included All NBA selections. People forget Shaq had 7 elite seasons before he even won his first championship. Again, not to say that Steph hasn’t had a long prime or saying he won’t surpass Shaq in his longevity, he’s not there yet though. Certainly not considering what Isaac said in this video.

[@remnant8898]

@@PeterAtkinson okay, I'll take your word for it. The pacing argument isn't valid in this case because Shaq was still getting 18-20 shot attempts per game and he was the only elite center in the league. If he wasn't, then can you name the centers that Shaq was facing when he finally started winning chips? Because after 99, as I said earlier, most of the great centers were way past their prime or retired. And those 7 elite seasons prior to his 1st chip, he was getting swept in 6 of them, in spite of the fact that he had stacked teams. I factor in that Steph didn't come into the league as a top notch player, had to be relegated to 2nd or 3rd option his first 2 years, then after his injury riddled 3rd year, began to take off and never looked back. We're talking about longevity, you can't even look at Shaq's last 6 years and have an argument that he sustained the level of greatness that Steph is doing right now at his age.
