With still a month to go before the beginning of the training camp, the NBA world indulges itself in a heated debate. Stephen Curry recently claimed himself as the greatest point guard of all time, giving rise to an argument. Expectedly, the name Magic Johnson became part of the mix for the achievements and endeavors.

Recently, a teammate of Giannis Antetokounmpo became a part of the drama. He had to watch a 66-year-old destroy his contemporary while talking about the greatness of the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

How did the interaction go?

Pat Connaughton recently attended?Dan Patrick’s The Dan Patrick Show where this ongoing debate became a point of discussion. The Milwaukee Bucks star highlighted the Golden State Warriors point guard as his all-time favorite. The 66-year-old Patrick contraindicated Giannis’ peer claiming, “Magic Johnson is by far the greatest point guard of all time.”

Patrick mentioned that Johnson could have dropped 30 points every game if he had wanted. He also pointed out that the four-time champion Stephen should be considered an anomaly. But that warrants a question.

How great was Magic Johnson?

With 5 championship titles, he is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He is also the holder of three MVPs and three final MVPs. His influence on the game reaches beyond the accolades.

The NBA icons and fans alike credit him for saving the league in the 1980s. He changed the game forever with his vision, range and passing abilities. Still standing tall after all these years as an example of a true point guard, the 64-year-old is an era-defining Laker.
