Steph Curry Says He’s the Best NBA Point Guard of All Time

• Stephen Curry feels he is the greatest point guard of all time in the NBA
• The Golden State Warriors MVP was speaking to ex-star Gilbert Arenas
• Curry and Magic Johnson are considered the two best point guards of all time

Golden State Warriors superstar, Stephen Curry, has declared himself the greatest point guard of all time. He was speaking on Gilbert Arenas' podcast when he made the claim.

The debate about the greatest point guard in NBA history is always between Curry and Los Angeles Lakers icon, Magic Johnson.

The four-time NBA champion was asked a straightforward and simple question by ex-NBA star and former Warriors guard, Gilbert Arenas and he gave an interesting answer.

"Are you the best point guard ever?" Arenas asked.

"Yes," Curry replied after a quick pause to think. "It's [between] me and Magic [Johnson], that's the conversation?"

That was a confident answer from Curry, and one can make a strong case for him.

While many fans have compared him to Magic Johnson for years, the debate reached its peak when the Warriors star won his first Finals MVP award.

Is Curry the best point guard ever?

Many feel Curry has achieved enough in the game to be regarded as the best. He has won multiple NBA titles and altered the landscape with his incredible shooting skills. His 2022 NBA championship triumph saw him cement his status as one of the best players ever.

Others feel he is not a 'traditional point guard'. Johnson, for instance, was probably the biggest NBA star in the 1980s. His 6'9" frame made his a once in a lifetime point guard and he is arguably the best passer ever, and he has earned almost every accolade.

Johnson retired as a 12-time All-Star, five-time NBA champion, and three-time MVP. Moreover, he averaged 19.5 points and 11.2 assists, and 7.2 rebounds per game, per Statmuse.
