Shaquille O’Neal slices cash in Curry vs. Magic case!

Recently, news requires, the debates around the best leader of all time have been stirred. If Magic Johnson was until then the almost unanimous GOAT among the guards, Stephen Curry is increasingly pointing the tip of his nose in the discussion. In any case, Shaquille O’Neal has made his choice…

At the position of point guard, there was so far not too much debate to determine who is the best of all time. Magic Johnson has in fact always been considered the biggest, without having too much competition. It must be said that with his three MVP titles and his five NBA champion rings, his record tends to speak for him, ahead of Robertson, Thomas, Stockton and others.

But in recent days, discussions have been revived explosively. With the latest craziness released by Stephen Curry, several followers wonder if the Splash Bro has not become the best guard in history. At present, it is in any case the only one capable of competing with Magic, and Shaquille O’Neal wanted to decide in this sulphurous debate which risks to make speak still a certain time.

Shaq chooses between Magic and Curry

In career, Diesel and Magic have never worn the same jersey, but are obviously both legends of the Lakers. So you’d think the purple and gold solidarity would push Shaq to put the former Showtime boss far ahead. Stephen Curry in this conversation… but it is not so! In an episode of The Big Podcastthe former center admitted that the Warrior has recently gained his favor, making him the best point guard of all time in his eyes:

We must admit that he is the best point guard of all time. Yes, I put it in front of Magic Johnson. I was talking about it with my guy Jamal Crawford last time, and you have to admit that Curry is the best. Even if he’s not a traditional leader, you have to accept that the game has evolved a lot. Vis-à-vis these two, we must consider that they evolve in the same position.

Over the last 365 days, the Chef has given a lot of arguments to all those who want to put him at the top of this ranking. With his title gleaned last season, he has thus increased his number of rings to four, and the path does not seem to be over. Recently, he also became the record holder for the number of points scored in Game 7, with his 50 units against Sacramento.

Obviously, comparing eras remains a complicated exercise as the game seems to have evolved. When we talk about the evolution of the game, we can only think of Stephen Curry so much did he change the way of playing basketball, in the NBA and elsewhere. If the league has become a championship dominated by shooters, it is mainly thanks to Steve Kerr’s protege. And since he has combined winning with influence, the case is very, very solid…

Magic Johnson or Stephen Curry? The debates are more and more frequent and the scales could clearly tip in favor of the “Baby Face” if its list of winners grows again in the next few weeks. For Shaquille O’Neal, he is already leading the debateswhich is a huge compliment.
