Michael Jordan happens to prefer Johnson over the Golden State Warriors legend. Interestingly enough, even Richard Jefferson is of the same belief. Not only Jefferson, but LeBron James’ former Cavs teammate Channing Frye also agreed.

“Magic Johnson, it’s not even close”, said Richard Jefferson according to cavaliersnation. Adding his claims to Jefferson’s take, Frye replied, “Steph is that dude, but Steph ain’t that dude. He ain’t that. You ain’t him.”

They are not the only former NBA stars to prefer Magic Johnson over Stephen Curry. Even Jordan, who shared some heated moments with the 5-time NBA champion, sided with his old rival in this debate.

Eminent ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith was live on television talking about the point guard debate. That’s when he revealed he had received a text message from a certain someone.

Smith read out a message from the Chicago Bulls legend in which he says: “is easily the best point guard of all time”, according to Bleacher Report. The 6-time NBA champion referred to Magic’s multiple NBA titles along with his 138 career triple doubles in the message. However, MJ also mentioned that the gap between the two players is not quite much.
