He really is a good dude. I've been to many games where I've shown up early to watch the pre-game workouts in Dallas. There are some games where you can tell he doesn't want to be bothered (which all humans have), but you never see him lash out or disrespect a fan. He takes his time with fan interactions when he goes down the autograph line on his way back to the locker room. He will even have a good laugh with some of the fans, and some back and forths. He really is just a regular dude with insane talent. Probably comes from being in the stands with regular fans watching his dad play sometimes. Saw both sides simultaneously. His dad also probably makes sure to keep him grounded, because he's probably seen how some players go off the hinges. Really just seems like a good dude enjoying living!
Ohhh yes he is... a player's prime is around for 25- 33 years old. Steph is going to turn 36 this season which is +really old for the NBA. At 38 years that is REALLYYY old... and that is just around the corner. As much as I want to see him annihilate everybody else for a good duration, it's not going to be that long 😓

as a gsw hater, I respectfully agree with Steph. To each their own, but in my eyes Steph is. Like it or not he changed the game. I also think he is (if not one of) the greatest underdog story in the NBA.
strph is always like: im still going.. lets see what happens... like he knows for sure that he gets at least one or two more ring and fmvp. thats crazy how confident this guy is
Curry, as loved as he is, is still very underrated in my opinion. When he retires people will see he’s not lying. He’s almost so good, along with his career, that it’s almost to his detriment in conversations like these. But yes, he’s one of the top point guards of all time- and better arguments can be made for it to be #1 than anything else.
So when LeBron said he's the best player ever it's a problem when it's just him and Jordan but when Steph says he's the best PG ever it's cool it's just him and magic 😂?
@@JuniYT you never saw magic so you say that but if you feel like that every generation the talent gets better I hope you feel like that when Steph is retired and there's some other hot nigga and they play Steph it will eventually happen let's see how you feel

Everybody wanted to be like Magic.. they just couldn't. You can learn how to shoot and dribble, but you can't teach that vision and leadership level, or the underrated defense that Magic displayed... from day one. The guy got a finals MVP as a rookie against an all time great team..
If that’s the case then everyone should’ve been able to dribble like Kyrie and shoot like steph😂😂😂 talking about you can’t teach court vision and leadership nigga it comes along with the game and curry the leader of his team and underrated asf
I have a point no one thinks about. Magic and Bird both came into the league with ready made championship teams! Magic more so than Bird they had to make trades to make it that way but imagine if they went to bottom of the barrel teams and had to build them up! Would magic have 5 if he went to Golden State back in the day rather then the Lakers! I give more credit for taking a franchise to the top from the bottom...
Facts, it's the same with MJ, though the Chicago "cocaine" bulls were a playoff team. They made their teams dynasties and were the focus of the team. Yea the chef still needs maybe one more chip and his 3rd fmvp and then it's conversation over. But I think you can easily say 1A and 1B atm.

With all the fans that genuinely believe Steph is the best PG, HE HAS to say he is whether he believes it or not. I think he does believe it, as he should regardless of the fans. How bad would he look with all these people arguing for him and he just says "nah, its gotta be magic". No way they expected a different answer!😂😂. Whether you agree with him or not you can't have an issue with this! He wouldn't be at this level if he didn't believe in himself this way!
I aint mad at what Steph said but all of them in todays Era continuosly state they play Positionless basketball. So if everyone is hybrids in todays game, how can you classify yourself as a point guard. This is just food for thought... Couldnt you say Steph is one of the greatest smaller players in league history. You can also make an argument that Steph entered the league as a point guard but had injuries derailing him. Once the coaches changed the offense for GS, Steph got his injuries more in check, and the offense had Steph and Klay running around picks with Draymond being more of a Point Forward in their free flowing Offense (even though Steph improvised at times), it looked more like 2 Shooting Guards on the court at the same time and a Point Forward with constant movement. Being the best shooter is inherit in the name Shooting Guard. Hypothetically if Jordan and Kobe was on the same team playing exactly like they normally play, And Pippen kept bringing the ball up the court to set up Jordan and Kobe, couldnt there be an argument that 2 shooting guards are on the court at the same time. But Jordan on paper would be the 1 position. But as great as Jordan was, I wouldnt categorize him as a point. Just a thought, But Steph is one of the greatest.
I just gotta say this: they may have the numbers and championships but John boy Stockton is the blueprint of what a point guard should be when I think of a pg it’s him I think of.
I feel like the statement is self proclaimed but as a pg his accolades are really good, the people should do the talking not the players (MJ never called himself the goat) to my knowledge
"Nobody was trying to be a 6'9 point gaurd" Yes, they were. Magic made the NBA experiment with a lot of bigger taller gaurds for a brief period. It wasn't as successful as when they copied Curry because Magic's game is hard to imitate.
The point forward position was literally created because of hybrid players like Magic… idk if Gilbert be trolling or just saying random shit. Steph is the goat though
I didn’t grow up during magics era just seen ton of highlights. Maybe if Steph wins 1 more ring to match Magic it might change the convo but who knows 🤷♂️
@@clemz9013 but it’s more eyes on him in general compared to when magic was playing you basically had to be at the games to be influenced by him you couldn’t just pull out your phone and watch highlights
Nah because MJ, Kobe and AI were also more influential. It has a lot to do with height vs skill. You can't replicate what Magic, Kareem, Shaq, LeBron do on the court unless you grow to be at least 6ft-9in. There's no point in even aspiring to be like them until you know that you are going to be as tall as they are. But you can start working on your crossover, general athleticism, jump shot and your work ethic at any age and any height.
@sankeerthkoshy61 we can talk abt that then, but the whole argument that he's technically "not a point guard" is dumb as shit. just semantics at that point
@@sankeerthkoshy61bill Russ got the most rings does that make him the goat??? No nigga yeah magic got a little better resume but the nigga didn’t change the game, big man are shooting now imagine shaq trying to shoot in the 90s it’s unheard of asf and nigga we got 6’8 pgs now none of them passing they too busy trying shoot 3s like curry
Aye that man is allowed to say that cuz his name is in the convo worldwide, I.T. Is the only person u could argue but steph has a bigger resume than I.T. Does
Y'all need a history lesson on Magic.. literally winning finals MVP his rookie year when Kareem went down. He was top 3 MVP voting, all-star, and all-time nba teams 9 out of his first 12 years pre-HIV. Curry ain't that. He's #2, but not Magic.
Gil, nobody was tryna be a 6’9 PG because that’s out of most people control height wise. Curry, transformed the game because he is closer to normal human size but just so skillful shooting and handling the basketball he actually someone who the whole world can see themselves in and that fact makes him more capable of bringing in more casual fan, players to basketball and make him more of a fan favorite to most. But both are HOF I personally believe Magic and Curry or totally different players in different roles and eras and actually can’t be compared because magic played All 5 positions and guarded all five positions while curry have just now been able to be a average defender and at times stills hides on weak players on defense while he destroys them On offense but magic wasn’t the greatest shooter but he was good enough for his era and still scored and assisted on a lot of his time points. I know offensive the put players ahead of others but to be fair magic was the better overall player since he defended all 5 positions and played all five positions and won at a high level as a rookie too. Both played and had HOF players/coaches with great organizations around them. Curry definitely hands down is 1of1 and greatest shooter but not sure he can be listed as PG don’t think he averaged more assists than kobe and yall said kobe didn’t pass.
Did u john Stockton d best pg all time... No chips, no mvps, mo finals mvps.... But i Guess u can tjose r mostly accolades, but just cause u all time leader in assist, u still gotta score... 13.1 points a game is trash....
What if Curry isn't really a point guard but his a shooting guard? 🤔 like (IMO) he was a late bloomer in size as far as height so he had to play that position growing up which is why he was underrated coming out of high school because he was a undersized shooting guard but I had to play the point guard position? (With a little bit of context) All I'm saying is as a whole I think he's technically a shooting guard rather than a point guard.. what you think? Also you can check the stats on that..
Best point guard- No! Best shooter ever- ABSOLUTELY YES!! Magic is still the best cause of his accolades and his leadership when being able to rally the troops at an ultra high clip.
Gil can be so arrogant it’s annoying because I be wanting to hear his opinion but then when he’s like “c’mon”, it’s borderline disrespectful to Magic. Nobody wanted to be a 6’9 point guard fine but Magic was more than that, he’s an unselfish leader, with amazing court vision and basketball IQ. An amazing all around athlete who galvanized an entire era to enjoy/play the game of basketball like it’s never been played before. Give that man his flowers 🌹
I think Magic is the best, but Steph is a clear 2 no one even comes close to him. By the end of his career, he could surpass Magic. Also love the respect Steph shows to Magic essentially saying "that's the bar we measure PG on". Steph is so humble. Love it
Did he really just sit up here and say kids aren’t influenced by Magic… As tho they grew up watching him??? Kids that never seen Lebron before Miami? Kids that never seen a pre-injured Kobe? Kids that never seen Gil play??? Let alone anything else in the 2000s let alone anything in the 80s when magic played. Yes there were kids in that generation influenced by Magic. Magic and bird saved the nba. Big guard like players like Grant Hill, Penny, Steve Smith, Pippen and others that played during the 90s were ALL influenced by Magic. I’m not saying Steph is or isn’t the best/greatest. But Magic definitely had impact on play style, kids were on the playground and in tournaments running the fast break dishing no look passed like who???? Magic.
I really can’t believe y’all bro y’all all some unfair biased nba fans bro but when lebron said it was “he arrogant and his not the goat” but if curry say he’s the greatest pg ever key word ever that means he is number 1 and everyone else is below him. Y’all in these comments praising him for it like why don’t y’all be the same with Steph like y’all is to lebron😂😂
Steph just seems like such a genuine good dude to talk to. Crazy how he literally changed the game, and he’s not close to being done yet. 👌🏽🏀

How many 6’9” guys can handle the rock like Magic? It’s easier to mimic Curry 😂😂😂 that was dumb logic
The point forward position was literally created because of hybrid players like Magic… idk if Gilbert be trolling or just saying random shit. Steph is the goat though
Curry is the best. Because how he can play without the ball
The Corny ass media Need to stop this debates, Mini Curry never will surpass Magic, this new players never will surpass Old School players like that
I didn’t grow up during magics era just seen ton of highlights. Maybe if Steph wins 1 more ring to match Magic it might change the convo but who knows 🤷♂️
It’s actually LeRuntheshow but that’s another topic
Steph also was in his prime in the social media era which probably has a lot to do with why he’s more influential
It goes both ways the social media scrutiny comes with a double edged sword.
@@clemz9013 but it’s more eyes on him in general compared to when magic was playing you basically had to be at the games to be influenced by him you couldn’t just pull out your phone and watch highlights
Nah because MJ, Kobe and AI were also more influential.
It has a lot to do with height vs skill.
You can't replicate what Magic, Kareem, Shaq, LeBron do on the court unless you grow to be at least 6ft-9in. There's no point in even aspiring to be like them until you know that you are going to be as tall as they are. But you can start working on your crossover, general athleticism, jump shot and your work ethic at any age and any height.
Steph is the best combo guard ever Magic the best point guard ever
The old heads gonna be MAD at this one
bUt He'S nOt a PoiNt GuArD lmao oldheads still stuck up on traditional positions
@@darkorlightzhas less rings, MVPS, and finals MVPs than Magic
@sankeerthkoshy61 we can talk abt that then, but the whole argument that he's technically "not a point guard" is dumb as shit. just semantics at that point
@@darkorlightz ya that’s true he’s still a PG or else you would have to rank him with players like Iverson and Kobe
@@sankeerthkoshy61bill Russ got the most rings does that make him the goat??? No nigga yeah magic got a little better resume but the nigga didn’t change the game, big man are shooting now imagine shaq trying to shoot in the 90s it’s unheard of asf and nigga we got 6’8 pgs now none of them passing they too busy trying shoot 3s like curry
Aye that man is allowed to say that cuz his name is in the convo worldwide, I.T. Is the only person u could argue but steph has a bigger resume than I.T. Does
Y'all need a history lesson on Magic.. literally winning finals MVP his rookie year when Kareem went down. He was top 3 MVP voting, all-star, and all-time nba teams 9 out of his first 12 years pre-HIV. Curry ain't that. He's #2, but not Magic.
I see love when Curry says it but hates when bron says it.
Lightskin privelige
Get off bron dick nobody was talk about him 🤦🏽♂️
Gil, nobody was tryna be a 6’9 PG because that’s out of most people control height wise. Curry, transformed the game because he is closer to normal human size but just so skillful shooting and handling the basketball he actually someone who the whole world can see themselves in and that fact makes him more capable of bringing in more casual fan, players to basketball and make him more of a fan favorite to most. But both are HOF I personally believe Magic and Curry or totally different players in different roles and eras and actually can’t be compared because magic played All 5 positions and guarded all five positions while curry have just now been able to be a average defender and at times stills hides on weak players on defense while he destroys them
On offense but magic wasn’t the greatest shooter but he was good enough for his era and still scored and assisted on a lot of his time points. I know offensive the put players ahead of others but to be fair magic was the better overall player since he defended all 5 positions and played all five positions and won at a high level as a rookie too. Both played and had HOF players/coaches with great organizations around them. Curry definitely hands down is 1of1 and greatest shooter but not sure he can be listed as PG don’t think he averaged more assists than kobe and yall said kobe didn’t pass.
Magic Played Center and won a ring doing it. I'd also take Isaiah Thomas & AI over Steph. He is the best shooter ever tho, hands down.
Ive always watch magic and 80s basketball. But those ymca level skillset hurts my eyes.
John Stockton is statistically the best point guard of all time. Steph curry is statistically the best shooter of all time. Love his competitiveness
Did u john Stockton d best pg all time... No chips, no mvps, mo finals mvps.... But i Guess u can tjose r mostly accolades, but just cause u all time leader in assist, u still gotta score... 13.1 points a game is trash....
@@jdag426 did you go to school, my god this spelling
@@Jobuddy69 u mad bro,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 John Stockton b PG all time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nba2k ass basketball knowledge
@@jdag426 you actually play that trash game? great job giving your money away to pedos!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My god magic clears stockton
What if Curry isn't really a point guard but his a shooting guard? 🤔 like (IMO) he was a late bloomer in size as far as height so he had to play that position growing up which is why he was underrated coming out of high school because he was a undersized shooting guard but I had to play the point guard position?
(With a little bit of context)
All I'm saying is as a whole I think he's technically a shooting guard rather than a point guard.. what you think?
Also you can check the stats on that..
Best point guard- No! Best shooter ever- ABSOLUTELY YES!! Magic is still the best cause of his accolades and his leadership when being able to rally the troops at an ultra high clip.
Curry can do everything that magic does the difference is magic was 6’9 and curry’s 6’2
And he can do way more than just shoot you gotta actually watch the game my guy
@@aaronharper5609 No, the difference is Magic is a real Man/General/Point God. Curry isn't. It goes deeper than the physical aspect, bro.
@@aaronharper5609 Never said Curry couldn't do more, "my guy". I've been watching this game religiously since 94'. I was just stating facts.
Stop trying to limit Steph as a shooter
Gil can be so arrogant it’s annoying because I be wanting to hear his opinion but then when he’s like “c’mon”, it’s borderline disrespectful to Magic. Nobody wanted to be a 6’9 point guard fine but Magic was more than that, he’s an unselfish leader, with amazing court vision and basketball IQ. An amazing all around athlete who galvanized an entire era to enjoy/play the game of basketball like it’s never been played before. Give that man his flowers 🌹
I think Magic is the best, but Steph is a clear 2 no one even comes close to him. By the end of his career, he could surpass Magic. Also love the respect Steph shows to Magic essentially saying "that's the bar we measure PG on". Steph is so humble. Love it
Did y’all forget about Kyrie Irving
Did he really just sit up here and say kids aren’t influenced by Magic… As tho they grew up watching him???
Kids that never seen Lebron before Miami? Kids that never seen a pre-injured Kobe? Kids that never seen Gil play??? Let alone anything else in the 2000s let alone anything in the 80s when magic played. Yes there were kids in that generation influenced by Magic.
Magic and bird saved the nba. Big guard like players like Grant Hill, Penny, Steve Smith, Pippen and others that played during the 90s were ALL influenced by Magic.
I’m not saying Steph is or isn’t the best/greatest. But Magic definitely had impact on play style, kids were on the playground and in tournaments running the fast break dishing no look passed like who???? Magic.
"Nobody tried to be a 6'9 point guard" well shit I guess Mark Price should have tried harder to grow lmao
I really can’t believe y’all bro y’all all some unfair biased nba fans bro but when lebron said it was “he arrogant and his not the goat” but if curry say he’s the greatest pg ever key word ever that means he is number 1 and everyone else is below him. Y’all in these comments praising him for it like why don’t y’all be the same with Steph like y’all is to lebron😂😂
No way not better than zeke,Stockton,cp3,nash kidd, big 0,penny Curry isnt pure pg but still not a top 5 but top 10 for sure
Not even close magic Johnson was a point guard Curry is a shooting guard it goes like this magic Isaiah Thomas
If bron said this lol
Penny Hardaway erasure talking about nobody wanted to be a 6'9" PG
So if Curry surpassed Magic and most people got Magic over Kobe, then is Curry over Kobe?
