One of the things that I've gotten into on several occasions, I've had the pleasure to be honest and privileged to get checked by the great Michael Jordan himself and I talked about magic. And I remember one time I threw out the debate about Magic Johnson or Steph Curry, who you got as the all time great point guard, because in my mind, I'm looking at it and I'm saying, excuse me, let's pay attention to something here. When we're talking about point guard, a quins essential point guard, that's easily irving Magic Johnson. But if you're talking about impact in terms of affecting the prowess of the players around them, which is what a point guard usually does, you don't just look at them as a strict facilitator, which is what somebody like Eddie Johnson for NBA Radio, who had a really good career in the NBA, classifies as a true point guard. He doesn't consider that to be Steph Curry. He consists has to be Irvan Magic Johnson. I get it, Magic Johnson.

Michael Jordan did not want to hear that. Michael Jordan said, what the hell wrong with you? You lost your ever loving mind. There is no greater point guard in the history of basketball than Irving Magic Johnson. And by the way, Isaiah Thomas was number two. And we know what level of friction him and Isaiah Thomas has had throughout the years, dating back to the eighties, so it now spans about forty years.
