As Magic Johnson-Stephen Curry Controversy Heats Up, ESPN?s Favorite Employee Passionately Defends Michael Jordan Despite Text Message Saga

Michael Jordan possesses elite basketball knowledge, having spent more than a decade dominating his opponents. So his opinion holds more value than that of most others. Recently, Jordan reportedly gave his take on who the greatest point guard of all time between Magic Johnson and Stephen Curry is. A random individual was naive enough to question the legitimacy of Michael Jordan’s opinion and ESPN’s favorite employee made sure to set the record straight.

Michael Jordan played against Magic’s Los Angeles Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals and beat them in spectacular fashion. Magic is known as the greatest ball handler ever and his on-court vision was second to no one. In modern times, Stephen Curry is considered the greatest offensive point guard who made the three-point shooting a staple in the NBA. It’s quite natural for fans to bring up the debate of who’s the greatest point guard of all time.

Stephen A. said, “There’s a difference between talent evaluation and what you’re anticipating someone did. And talent evaluation what it pertains to what you actually see somebody has done over their career. You do understand those are two different categories, right?

He continued, “Him being an eyewitness account to it first as a competing player against the person he actually beat for his first NBA Championship of his career. And secondly, watching as a league official Steph Curry wreak havoc throughout this league. You do understand the difference.”
