Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry caused quite a stir in the basketball world recently when former NBA star Gilbert Arenas asked him whether he believes he’s the best point guard in NBA history.
Curry took a second to answer the question, as he likely knew that he’d get a considerable amount of backlash for his answer, and said he is the best ever to play the position.
Of course, Curry claiming that he’s the best player to ever play point guard in NBA history is a direct shot at Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson, who has been the consensus best floor general in league history ever since he retired.
Interestingly enough, Curry has sparked quite a debate with his comments, as many former stars side with Johnson in the discussion, and current players seem to lean in the direction of the Warriors superstar.
It seems as though Los Angeles Clippers star forward Paul George might be the latest to agree with Curry, as he claimed on “Podcast P” that the Warriors icon “revolutionized” the position, via ClutchPoints.
Although this wasn’t much of a debate before Curry made the statement, it seems as though this debate has started to rival the GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
With Curry still having some prime years left, it’ll be interesting to see where this debate goes, especially considering the fact that Johnson has one more title than the Warriors superstar, which could be the difference when it is all said and done.
