Magic Johnson has responded to Steph Curry's recent claim that he is the greatest point guard in NBA history. Johnson, a legendary figure in NBA history, provided a measured response to Curry's assertion. He highlighted the importance of statistics, particularly championships, Finals MVPs, and league MVPs, when determining the greatest point guard.

As of now, Magic Johnson has five NBA championships, three Finals MVP awards, and three league MVP awards to his name. He also holds several records, including the highest number of assists all-time in the Finals, ranking second in double-doubles, and ranking first in triple-doubles.

On the other hand, Steph Curry has four NBA championship titles, one Finals MVP award, and two league MVP awards. While Curry's career achievements are impressive and he is regarded as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, Magic Johnson's career accomplishments place him in the conversation for the greatest point guard of all time.

Curry's statement about being the greatest point guard sparked a debate among fans and former NBA legends. Michael Jordan also weighed in on the discussion, acknowledging Curry's shooting prowess but emphasizing Magic Johnson's overall impact on the game.

Ultimately, the debate over the greatest point guard in NBA history remains subjective, with various factors and criteria contributing to the discussion.
