Magic Johnson responds to Stephen Curry: 'If he got more than all those things, he's the best... but the last time I checked, he doesn't'
Gilbert asked Steph Curry who’s the greatest point guard of all time and he was respectful to you but he said himself. How do you process that one and do you think Steph is the greatest point guard of all time? Magic Johnson: Well, does the numbers say that, Zach? Not yet. I would still say it’s you if you ask me. Magic Johnson: Okay, so if he got more than five championships, if he got more than three finals MVP and three league MVPs, then he’s the greatest. If he got more than No. 1 in assists all-time in the Finals, No. 2 in double doubles, No. 1 in triple doubles all-time in the NBA playoffs, No. 4 in steals all-time in the playoffs… If he got more than those numbers, he’s the best (…) I’m just saying if he got more than all those things, he’s the best… but the last time I checked, he doesn’t.

The Warriors veterans (Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson) have set up player workouts in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco this summer. Motivation level is obvious.

Mike Dunleavy Jr: So that stuff, I don’t have a whole lot of worries about that. But I think just the common thread of competitiveness, intelligence and just being adults, those things make me believe that this thing can work out. I think for those guys, Draymond (and) Steph, especially, like you said, they’ve been through the wars with Chris for so many years and Chris the same way, that I think it came down to just that initial idea of it. There’s a little bit of a shock. And then once you settle in and think about it, and the ways that it would work, I think they quickly came back to, ‘This is kind of a no-brainer.’ And that’s the way we felt as an organization, as a front office, was that this deal makes a lot of sense. And barring anything where somebody’s pushing back against it on either side, we should go through with it. -via The Athletic / September 26, 2023
