Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry believes he has a strong case to be considered the greatest point guard in NBA history, choosing himself over Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson.

Curry discussed the comparison between himself and Johnson, acknowledging that he never expected to be mentioned alongside the five-time NBA champion.

“It’s me and Magic. The fact that we’re even having that conversation, that’s a place I never thought I’d be in.”

The four-time NBA champion also explained that he enjoys discussions comparing players from different generations, even though their careers took place under different circumstances.

“Measuring eras against each other, I love that. That’s what basketball, sports is all about. That’s why people watch. That’s why people get in heated debates about it. I love it.”

Curry has won four NBA championships, two regular-season MVP awards and an NBA Finals MVP award.

He also holds the league’s all-time record for three-pointers made.

Johnson won five championships with the Lakers, along with three regular-season MVP awards and three Finals MVP awards.

While Curry respects Johnson’s accomplishments, he believes his own career deserves consideration in the discussion.

“I’m going to rep myself for sure. But Magic, that’s a lofty resume to shoot for. I’m still going. Let’s see what happens.”
