Isiah Thomas on who’s the greatest point guard ever: ‘When it comes to number one, that’s Magic Johnson’

On who’s the greatest point guard of all-time: “Well, I know who’s number one, and that’s Magic Johnson. We’ve never seen anything like him. And when you talk about what he was able to do, I mean, there’s no player that really compares to him. Now, there have been some that are similar, but there’s nobody like Magic, so let’s not even have that conversation because he’s the one, right? And now, when you get to small players like myself and Curry who have won, it’s a good conversation and it’s a good debate because we both have won, but we did it differently. Now, people can choose which one they like the most, but there’s no argument that we both did it and we both won. So it’s a matter of taste, and I’m just happy as a small guy to be in the conversation. So if I’m in the conversation, I’m fine. But when it comes to number one, that’s Magic Johnson.”
