?Scares and Petrifies?: Stephen Curry Turns Into a Nightmare for Opponents and Inspired a Generation Unlike Magic Johnson, Says Stephen A.

With 3390 career three-pointers and 42.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc, Stephen Curry has cemented his name as the Greatest shooter in NBA history. Curry is a generational talent who has changed the way basketball is played. But, with 4 NBA titles and 2 MVP awards, his name has also started coming up in the discussion of the Greatest Point Guard ever.

Most fans and old NBA players consider Magic Johnson the Greatest Point Guard of all time. So, Chef Curry shook the NBA world when he called himself the Greatest Point Guard ever on the latest episode of Gils Arena with Gilbert Arenas. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith backed up Curry?s comments, making his claim even stronger.

Stephen A. thinks Stephen Curry is the Greatest Point Guard ever

Gilbert Arenas asked Curry, ?Are you the best point guard ever?? to which he replied with just one word, ?Yes.? The 2-time MVP?s comment left the fans in a frenzy, with Stephen A. agreeing with Curry on First Take, ?To me, yes he is.? The ESPN analyst talked about Steph?s impact superseding that of Magic Johnson. Magic and Bird were the faces of the NBA in the 1980s. Magic?s rivalry with Bird single-handedly boosted the league?s ratings and helped the NBA get to where it is today. However, according to Stephen A., Steph has left a deeper impact on the game of basketball.

Stephen Curry is a nightmare for defenders because of his otherworldly shooting ability and high IQ. He is the leader of one of the Greatest Dynasties in the modern NBA, with 4 championships in 6 final appearances. Stephen A. gave the edge to the Baby Faced Assassin, ?Steph Curry?s movement without the basketball, because he is such a lethal shooter, scares and petrifies defense so much that the impact is profound.? The Warriors? guard has inspired the upcoming players to work on their shooting range and accuracy. The NBA has evolved around the way Stephen Curry plays basketball, which signifies his impact on the game.

Steph and Magic Point Guard debate has no correct answer

Stephen Curry?s career achievements and impact on the game give him a fair claim for the title of Best Point Guard Ever. But this is not a one-sided debate because Magic Johnson?s impact cannot be denied. Magic is a 5-time NBA champion and a 3-time Finals MVP in his own right. He is the only player to win the Finals MVP in his rookie season, an award which came in spectacular fashion when he switched to playing Center after Kareem got hurt in the finals.
