In the NBA, comparisons are always a hot topic. The most recent one involves Stephen Curry and Magic Johnson vying for the title of Greatest Point Guard of All Time. Curry put himself at the forefront of this discussion, although it’s worth noting that he was prompted with the question and did acknowledge that he had to answer in that manner, adding a caveat to his response.
Nonetheless, Curry’s statement stirred up quite a commotion in the NBA community, with both current and former players, as well as media personnel from various quarters, chiming in with their own perspectives. The latest individual to enter this discourse is Kendrick Perkins, who is known for never shying away from sharing his opinions.
While Magic Johnson has garnered widespread support, particularly from former teammates, Kendrick Perkins holds a different viewpoint. He recently compiled a list of his top five point guards of all time, placing Stephen Curry in the top spot, with Magic Johnson in second place. Perkins’ list continued with Isiah Thomas in third, John Stockton in fourth, and Russell Westbrook in fifth. It’s clear that the debate over the greatest point guard of all time continues to spark diverse opinions and discussions within the basketball community.
