Michael Jordan names one player he regarded as best point guard in NBA history over Steph Curry

NBA legend Michael Jordan has picked out the player who he regards as the best point guard in the sport's history.

61-year-old Jordan will forever be regarded as one of the best players to ever step foot on a basketball court.

During a career that spanned more than 18 years, the American played for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, winning the NBA title six times.

After retiring from the sport, he continues to be one of the biggest sportspersons in the world due to his work with Nike.

Since Jordan called time on his professional career, many NBA greats have tried to match or even beat his achievements.

Steph Curry is often a name that crops up in conversation having himself scooped to win four NBA titles.

But Jordan has caused further controversy by stating that the Golden State Warriors star is not the best to ever do it.

Back in 2023, ESPN host Stephen A.Smith revealed that Jordan texted: "Good morning sir. Although greatest of anything is always a debate, I beg to differ on 'greatest point guard of all time'.

"Magic Johnson is easily the best point guard of all time. Steph Curry is very close, but not in front of Magic. You must define point guard to really have a serious debate."

Magic spent his entire professional NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

He won five titles and was named NBA Most Valuable Player on three occasions in 1987, 1989, 1990.

Curry, who has also drawn plaudits for remaining with one team through his time at the top, still believes he belongs at the top.

"Are you the best point guard ever?" Gilbert Arenas asked Curry back in 2023.

"Yes," responded Curry despite hesitating in his response.

"It's me and Magic, is that the conversation?" Curry said.

"Obviously I have to answer [myself]. But to your point, Magic's resume is ridiculous. So the fact that we're even having that conversation is a place that I never thought I'd be in."

Curry's influence on the game has led to frequent comparisons to Jordan .

For basketball fans everywhere, watching them play together would be the stuff of dreams.
