Magic Johnson gives his personal take on fans comparing his basketball achievements with Steph Curry

For the past weeks, the debate on who is the greatest point guard in the history of the NBA has been the hottest barbershop topic. Magic Johnson and Steph Curry are two figures that are battling for the PG GOAT and the Lakers legend already said what he thinks on that comparison.

"If he got more than No. 1 in assists all time in the Finals, No. 2 in double-doubles [in the playoffs and Finals], No. 1 in triple-doubles all time in the NBA playoffs, No. 4 in steals all-time in the playoffs, if he got more than those numbers, then he's the best," said Magic in an interview with CBS Sports Radio.
"If he got more than all those things, he's the best but the last time I checked, he doesn't," adds Johnson.

While the debate is still ongoing, some can argue on who fulfilled the role well to set up his teammates and control the floor, or who has made the biggest impact in NBA history.

Nonetheless, both players are great on their own and Steph Curry still has years in his career to add up more points to the debate.
