Dallas has nothing other than Doncic. If by some miracle Heat or Celtics don’t win I’ll take a sig bet

head to head, Magic is better...a better all around player. Team wise, both were/are filled with players that complement their skill sets and cover their short comings

It's impossible to rank people across different eras, so I don't bother. However, I have no issue with anyone choosing to rank Steph highly. Guy is pretty damn amazing.

No. Curry just isn't as good as Magic was. His only hope lies with longevity, and maintaining a really high level of player for another 6-7 seasons, which isn't likely.
Because at his peak he just isn't the player Magic was. Half the assists, half the rebounds, plucking fewer balls out of passing lanes, lacking the ability to defend players of all sizes, and the inability to create mismatches for the other team by playing any position on the floor. His superior scoring and scoring efficency doesn't compensate.
There's a reason Magic made it to the playoffs in every season he played. Stephen just doesn't dominate the floor like that.

Are you implying Curry couldn’t step in at center and single handedly control and dominate the opposing team on their own court?

Must be nice having Durant, prime Klay and Draymond and then Harrison fucking Barnes, Livingston and prime Iggy. And beating the weakest Eastern conference in 75 years.

The world record holder for only Olympian to not been selected on an All Star team. Still counts though!
