htownborn Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) Most of the time when someone says who's the greatest Gaurd and NBA player the name Michael Jordan usually pops up. Now I am a fan of Jordan I think he's the greatest but what about Magic Johnson he was what everbody wanted to be in the 80's before Michael. It's kinda hard for me to say being that I grew up watching Jordan and not Magic unless you are counting the year he played in 96. Statiscally I say Magic had Mike in all catagorys except scoring but for a 6'9" PG you really don't expect lease, kinda like the same deal with LeBron James. Jordan had that killer instinct and can kill anyone anytime he wanted and one of the greatest defensive minds in the game. So in my biased opinion I would pick Mike but thats only because I grew up actually watching him. Edited August 7, 2010 by htownborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Jordan. Magic was clearly the better passer and slightly better rebounder, but Jordan was the greatest scorer in NBA history and arguably the league's best perimeter defender as well. If Magic was as dominant of a defensive player, it'd be a very close comparison. But the fact of the matter is he wasn't, and could only dictate the game from an offensive standpoint.
