Magic Johnson vs. Stephen Curry 1 on 1.

[Lebron23]

Who wins in a 1 on 1 contest between two of the greatest point guards of all time? Race to 21

[Lebron23]

Magic likely abuse Curry at the post. Let's make it 3 points range now counts as 2 points. Does Curry have the chance to beat the 6'8" Magic Johnson??

Make it take it then it's whoever gets the ball first.

If it's alternating possessions then curry since 3s count for more.

If it's a game with rebounds, Magic would have a chance.
Otherwise Steph abuse Magic since ISO was never Magics strength.

Magic all day. Hes to big. He could just back him down every possession. Even if steph gets the ball first he's bound to miss one after thats its over. If its max 3 to 5 dribbles like we play sometime then its curry easily

Magic can't stop Curry and vice versa. Things like winners/losers out and limiting dribbling will give advantages to each side. If Magic can just freely dribble and back him down, there's absolutely nothing Steph can do in that situation, 6 inches in height and 30 pounds or whatever in weight difference is simply too big a hurdle. The flipside to that is Magic wasnt an iso defender and Steph would twist him into a pretzel and get to the basket whenever he wanted or create distance for 3 point shots.

Magic easy. Magic is a huge man with giant standing reach and almost seven foot wingspan. Look at the pics of him standing next to Lebron. Prime Magic was also a once in a generation athlete with very good quickness for his size. Barkley was an athletic freak himself and he referred to Magic as a "freak of nature." The idea that Steph is just going to run circles around Magic is just nonsense. Magic just needs one rebound and Steph will never get the ball again. No little dude can stop Magic.
