Steph Curry Believes He’s the GOAT Point Guard: ‘It’s Me and Magic, That’s the Conversation’

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry didn’t mince words when Gilbert Arenas asked him if he’s the best point guard in NBA history.

"Yes," Curry responded with a smile at the 27:35 mark of his Gil's Arena episode (above), after a brief pause. "It's me and Magic [Johnson], that's the conversation."

Arenas explained that, outside of statistical comparisons, Curry's influence on the game of basketball is evident when you see every kid trying to emulate the two-time NBA MVP.

"I really feel like, to your point, Magic's résumé is ridiculous," Steph added. "Alright, so the fact that we're even having that conversation...that's a place I never thought I would be in."

Even though Magic still has one more MVP title, one more NBA championship, and three more All-Star selections over Curry, Steph can probably play a few more seasons in the league and build out his résumé even further. His case as the greatest point guard of all-time could become undeniable.

Curry already holds the NBA record for most three-pointers made with 3,390, while a retired Ray Allen sits in a distant second with 2,973. Curry is arguably responsible for revolutionizing the way players view the three-point shot.

Larry Bird, a three-time NBA three-point contest champion, took a career-high 237 attempts from downtown in the 1987-88 season and shot 41.4 percent. Curry made 273 threes on 42.7 percent shooting last season, despite playing in just 56 of 82 games.
