After nearly 30 years as the undisputed greatest point guard in NBA history, Magic Johnson finally has competition for the top spot. Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has changed the game, racked up generational accolades, and reached a level on the scale of iconography that few have ever even dreamed of.
For as strong of a case as Curry has for being the greatest point guard ever, an absurd statistic has reaffirmed Johnson’s status as No. 1.
Johnson accomplished virtually everything under the basketball sun during his iconic Los Angeles Lakers career. He was a perennial statistical league leader, a legendary postseason performer, and a landscape-altering presence who ranks among the few who can compete with Curry’s influence on the NBA.
