“Steph Curry Is Not a Point Guard”: Following Michael Jordan’s Take, Former Bulls Star Gives His Two Cents on Magic Johnson Comparison

One of the most viral debates in the NBA world at the moment revolves around the best point guard. Fans and analysts across the world made their picks on the debate with interesting analogies. While most of the comments favored Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan put forward a ground-breaking statement about Magic Johnson. Following that, a former Chicago Bulls star made a huge claim about the Golden State Warriors superstar in a recent show.

In a game dominated by taller and physically built players, Steph rewrote the rules with his abilities. The 4x champion entered the league as a ‘skinny’ point guard, as he referred to himself in his documentary. The star went on to become the leader of Dubs with his shooting prowess and basketball IQ. On the other hand, 5x champion Magic Johnson played in one of the toughest eras of NBA and stamped an unshakable place in the NBA world. While both point guards are great of their own eras, debate required special arguments to settle.
