I think it’s almost unanimous that Steph is the greatest shooter of all time and Magic is the greatest passer of all time. My question is, who has a wider gap between them and #2 + the rest of the pack?
Also, stats are important, but not the end all be all here. For instance, Klay might actually be a slightly better catch-and-shoot 3pt maker than Steph, but Steph is so far and away better at creating his own shot it’s why he is clearly the best shooter of all time. And Magic may not hold the assist record, but you would be hard-pressed by most fans and players if you said Stockton had a similar passing ability to Magic.
Stephs shooting tbh.
There are a couple of guys that are comparable to Magic.
Whether its Stockton (who is a comparable passer imo), Nash or CP3.
And then you have guys like Lebron or Jokic, who will score a ton and pass. As passers they are great because thwy can also score well.
Id still say Magic is the best ever, but Steph is by far the best 3 point shooter ever.
This isnt me saying that Steph is better than Magic, but that Steph is incomparably better than the next best shooter just by the nature of the type of shooter he is.
A 3 point specialist wasnt something that was common before Steph came to the scene and since then, there hasnt been a guy comparable to him.
