All-time NBA player rankings are always fun for fans and analysts to ponder whether it be on social media or on TV screens for millions to see and chime in every single day. 

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry added his hat into the ring for debate, placing himself as the best point guard in NBA history over Laker legend Magic Johnson. 

Curry's rise to stardom is well-documented at this point. The former Davidson Wildcat led an impressive March Madness run and after some injury plagued seasons, became one of the game's best we've ever seen. 

A four-time champion, a two-time regular season MVP (one of them unanimous), a 2022 Finals MVP and nine All-NBA selections on top of nine All-Star nods, that may not even be the best of Curry's accomplishments. 

In the same year where he won his Finals MVP and the All-Star Game MVP with a record 16 threes in the game, Curry became the NBA's all time 3-point leader, passing Ray Allen. 

For Magic Johnson, his legacy started with a win against famed rival and later friend Larry Bird in the national championship game for the Michigan State Spartans. 

Ushering in a new league away from the issues of the '70s, Johnson and Bird would consistently battle it out on the NBA stage in the '80s for both the Lakers and Boston Celtics. 

Johnson's career also involved multiple All-Star and All-NBA nods, but he also ranks high among the game's all time assist leaders through his greatest trait. 

Passing his way to multiple MVPs in his own right, the Laker great won five championships and helped don the name of Showtime, a story that's currently being documented by HBO. 

Whoever you select for your all-time roster, you really can't go wrong with two of the game's very best from the point guard position.
