During the offseason, Stephen Curry stirred a significant debate by proclaiming himself as the greatest point guard of all time, challenging the widely accepted belief that Magic Johnson holds that title. While Curry certainly presents a compelling case for himself, many basketball purists contested his claim to the greatest point guard status.
However, one person firmly in Curry’s corner is his Golden State Warriors teammate, Draymond Green. Green made it clear that, in his view, Curry is unequivocally the greatest point guard of all time. He expressed this sentiment during a postgame press conference following the Warriors’ 120-109 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. Green’s endorsement came after a reporter referred to Curry as “one of the greatest” point guards ever, prompting Green’s strong response.
In Monday night’s game against the Pistons, Curry once again demonstrated his extraordinary talent at the point guard position, even though he plays it in a non-traditional manner. He tallied 34 points, including seven three-pointers, and his exceptional shooting opened up numerous opportunities for his teammates.
While Magic Johnson currently boasts a more impressive resume, with a greater number of accolades and superior statistics, it’s worth noting that Curry’s career is far from over. He continues to make history, and there’s a possibility that he could eventually be recognized as the undisputed greatest point guard in the history of the NBA.
