Michael Jordan disagreed with Stephen Curry as the GOAT PG so much he sent Stephen A. Smith a 146-word text at 5:54 a.m.

Michael Jordan has any number of things to do after selling the Charlotte Hornets for $3 billion, and one of those is apparently texting ESPN's Stephen A. Smith before sunrise.

The topic that grabbed the NBA legend's attention was raised when Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry made an appearance on Gilbert Arenas' podcast, "Gil's Arena," which was published Monday. When asked point-blank if he is the greatest point guard ever, Curry paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."

That came up on the next day's "First Take" on ESPN, and Smith agreed with Curry being the greatest point guard ever over Magic Johnson — in many more words.
