How Many Titles Magic won without K-Reem?

Since hes the goat point guard and all. ...

How many titles did Magic win without a 7 foot, unguardable scoring machine?

I never thought I would say this, but Curry has been more impactful in creating his dynasty than Magic ever was.

In essence, I'll be dropping his stature big time. Plus current events have showed he ha an IQ the size of a peanut.

Well, I love Kareem and bigs in general, but let's not pretend that his own 70's title resume, in a 10 year prime that is, and without any opposing dynasty to block his way, was that impressive itself. People here and elsewhere routinely rank him above Wilt, supposedly due to the ring difference, and yet he didn't even match Wilt's 2 rings without Magic and had a slight (3-2) advantage when he had gotten to Wilt's age and had already played for 4 years with Magic.

Yeah because Curry doesn't have KD/Klay/Dray :rolleyes:

Kareem wasn't exactly in his peak...but we all know Magic's Lakers were STACKED just like Curry's Warriors have been stacked.

I mean, Magic DID win a ring in his rookie season and had a legendary finals as a rookie...frankly when it comes down to Magic or Curry...era has a huge part to play in it (moreso than other current vs past players because Curry is so reliant on the 3)

I think Curry is amazing and a top 15 player of all time...but Magic vs Curry will simply come down to preference/era.

They are such different players idk how you can compare them.

Yeah Kareem is the most widely overrated player on ISH. It is crazy. LeBron gets overrated severely by maybe 30% of posters here (maybe it is really like 5-10% if you take out the multiple accounts), but Kareem doesn't really deserve to be a clear cut top 5 guy either. It isn't a sin to have him in your top 5 just like it isn't a sin to have LeBron in the top 5, but it is lunacy to think he's a lock for it. Top 10, clearly (for both).

because he was a sociopath.

Magic is the most widely overrated player here or anywhere. Unreal post career legacy boost.

Magic was good, but a Bird he will never be.
