Magic had the leading all time scorer so his job was distributing. Magic got the ball to any area of the court at any time. That's true ball handling. Magic scored when the matchup call for it.
Bro, they def crab dribble in the playoffs lol the only difference in today's game is they all carry the damn ball lol
2:09 😅
3:17 😅
Nash was an efficient scorer but magic was a better scorer. Nash lacked a scoring punch. Westbrook is an inefficient scorer but has more of a scoring punch than Nash. Curry is an explosive scorer but outside of a hot hand, he doesn’t play the point guard position great. When his shot isn’t dropping, he doesn’t turn into prime rondo. If curry is over magic then kyrie is over cp3.
Yeah Ron is trolling bro😭😭 atleast its entertaining off season content
Lebron is a better player than magic but not a better pg. magic is a better pg than curry…..and player. Magic didn’t play pg his first 3 seasons.
Everyone considers magic better than jerry west. Jerry west was a point guard. A pg that influenced the idea of the 3 point line and a great defender. So if everyone has magic over west then why is curry over him?
Shooting? Being carried by KD for 2 rings? Having iggy save his legacy?
Marz who do you think is better ? I value your opinion. Personally, thinking magic is greater all time i have no problem with but i think it’s disrespectful to say he’s a better basketball player than curry
If I already have a 1A option I’m taking Magic. If I don’t have a 1A option I’m taking Steph. It’s really simple
bruh this is dumb. imagine thinking someone who orchestrated 5 rings vs someone’s pure potential of being Lebron gets equated to flat out being better than Magic.
Name the best scoring PG players from the beginning until 2007
Steph not even a true point guard😂😂😂
MAGIC AIN'T CLOSE TO BRUNSON AS A JUMPSHOOTER😭😭😭😭 CHILL WHAT
Who had a better rookie season? Case closed.
Ngl… Chill really be setting himself up. On no planet has Magic ever been a better jump shooter, or even in the same conversation as Jalen Brunson.
Curry is my favourite player ever but Magic is still better
If we’re talking pure point guard yes magic. But I’ll rather have curry tho. Umma need points!
Steph's the better player, Magic the better distributor
Steph is my favorite player since 2016 and I like him more than Magic, but we can’t just say he’s better than Magic. Did we forget Magic won finals mvp as a rookie? Also, all what’s weird about this argument is that people love to glorify the Rings, MVPs, and finals MVPs argument. I don’t always personally but people do. Well Steph trails Magic by 1, 1, and 2 yet people put Steph over. But when it comes to Kobe people say he’s not better than Duncan and Shaq because of those the mvp arguments. It’s not consistent.
If you switch manic and curry on lakers and golden state who winning more championships
Ron be switching up lol On that clickbait magic is trash video He was all riding for steph and ever since then , he's been riding for magic Like magic is done playing how he switched up like that😂
19:44 he got push back for that??? Steve Nash clears Magic in scoring ✌🏾😭
Curry is a better scorer but magic is a better offensive player than curry also there’s nothing else on the court curry does better than magic outside of that either
Ngl they left chill way too off the hook with his clears at the lead guard comments. We’ve seen the sample size of Steph taking that role in the playoffs and we’ve seen him average a near triple double doing it multiple times as well
Steph only leads in scoring…. as a PURE PG myself … that means nothing … Magic cooks him in every other stat
I’m gonna be fair and objective when it comes to both of these players
Magic Johnson
– better rim pressure
– better offensive rebounder
– better passer
– better floor general/handler
– most successful from his decade
Stephen Curry
– better shotmaker
– better off ball gravity
– better volume scorer
– also more efficient overall
– competitive western conference
I don’t like how when we say the comp for these older greats was t as good and then folks say we are drunk and dk ball. But when you say he had/they had all these great players on the team all of a sudden they teammates were mid. Is Kareem not like that? Elgin?
that Magic handles segment was nasty. You'd never hear them make a similar argument for Dwayne Wade and Hakeem in terms of shot blocking, but here we are. Apparently a 6'9 dude, who doesnt even have the best handles for his size ever, is a better ball handler than a top 10 ball handler of all time? ok man
So it is ok to say Magic clears Steph as a true point guard, but we are underrating Magic's scoring by saying a top 5 scorer ever is way better than him at scoring???? This cant be real man
WHAT WOULD STEPH DO IF HE HAD A TEAM LIKE MAGIC JOHNSON AROUND HIM – PROBABLY WIN 10 STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS?
"For his size" is the most useless statement when comparing 2 players😂😂

Kobe

Shaq

Now Nash a better scorer than Magic?!?😂😂😂 nash stays being OVERRATED… great player but man cmon
Myth: magic was not "trash" on defense, he just did better guarding forwards and wings.
I think Magic was Greater because had more accolades and won more in his own era(less talent in the league and teams changed less each year).
But i think Steph is better, the impact offensively he had in his prime is just so insane that he made us forget that he never had top offensive talent on the team other than KD.
Magic scored 325 threes in his career at 30% shooting %
This is honestly just a clash of eras. New gen basketball watchers aren't going to value Magic. Pass-first PG's are almost a thing of the past in today's game. They're used to point guards dropping 25-30 pts a night while only giving you 5 or 6 assists. A 20/13/8 guy like Magic would be compared to Scottie Barnes today (by casuals). Passing and playmaking are extremely underrated as valuable skill sets. I'm taking the 5-time Champ, 3-time Finals MVP, 3-time league MVP. Gimme Magic.
Magic is the greater player. More rings, more finals, more MVPs, more Finals MVPs, better rebounder, better passer. Curry is the greatest shooter, that's it.
