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.

    So cj is shooting steph efficiency at 2.5 less 3s per game while not being guarded like steph gotcha. U can’t compare percentages with steph while not giving including the amount of attention steph commands. Steph never led the league in 3pt% but we aren’t saying that Luke Kennard or Grayson Allen are the best shooters convo shooting 47%-50% on 3s cus their volume is low and neither commands steph level of attention.
