Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Teammate Witnesses 66yr Old Man Absolutely Destroy Stephen Curry in Intense Magic Johnson Debate: “He’s JUST a Great Basketball Player”

It didn’t take Stephen Curry time to change the landscape of basketball since his initial foray into the finals. Not only has he stamped the cultural area of basketball, but he has single-handedly changed the game style of the sport worldwide. His groundbreaking utilization of the three-point line has transformed the fundamentals of point-guard possession. What was once a pass-once approach-centric position has evolved to a necessary clip from long range.

Despite the crown of the most lethal shooter ever, Curry is now a central figure in yet another emotional debate. This discourse revolves around the coveted title of the ‘Greatest Point Guard of All Time.’ Adding fuel to the fire is his pitting against the iconic Magic Johnson.

The Stephen Curry crowning adds another argument to the list

In a captivating rendezvous, Milwaukee Bucks’ dynamic guard Pat Connaughton takes center stage on the Dan Patrick Show. A dive into the world of basketball was just the beginning, as Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s teammate engaged in a passionate discourse. At the heart of the conversation was the intense debate of the greatest point guard in history: Stephen Curry or Magic Johnson.

Patrick’s first point was Steph being a shooting guard, followed by,?“He’s not even the best passer on the team; Draymond is.”?However, Connaughton debated by stating that Curry dictates the offense more in crunch time when compared to Magic. Dan then proceeded to mention Draymond Green having more assists than Curry and claiming the Magic could drop 25 or 30 in a game if he wanted to. His brutal remark came next as he said,?“I love Steph. He changed basketball. But he is not a point guard. He’s just a great basketball player“.

Dan suggested reducing role labels because players like Steph can play different positions.

In the past, point guards were usually the shortest players on the team and had excellent ball-handling skills. They were also good at passing the ball at the right moment. However, Magic was listed at 6’9. Even though not a pass-first player, Curry has the ability for crunch-time decisions and team-oriented playmaking.

Michael Jordan joins the debate around the best point guard ever

Revered athletes like Shaquille O’Neal and Andre Iguodala have already crowned Curry the best point guard ever. In a recent display, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith created waves by boldly claiming Curry as the ultimate point guard in the history of the NBA.?

However, a powerful voice emerged in opposition. Considered to be the GOAT by many, Michael Jordan displayed his refusal in Smith’s statement. Smith disclosed on a recent episode of?First Take?that Jordan had reached out to him via text. In his message, Jordan expressed his profound respect for Curry’s brilliance yet voiced his refusal to bestow Curry with the title.?

“Magic Johnson is easily the best point guard of all time. Steph Curry is very close, but not in front of Magic. You must define point guard to really have a serious debate.”

Jordan did pay tribute to Curry’s extraordinary shooting skills and acknowledged the seamless chemistry he adds on the court. However, Jordan recollected that Johnson commanded more rival attention than Curry’s case. In a symbolic twist, he asserted that Magic “invented the triple team,” implying his unparalleled influence on the game.
