Of course the gap between Steph and the next best shooter is huge, not like magic and the best passer.
But because Magic had cemented his legacy long enough that people got 30 years to study his game. Every passer in the NBA learn the most from Magic.
Steph isn’t even retired yet, hell you can argue he’s still in his prime. who knows in 20 years from now half-court shot is probably gonna be a normal thing? THEN we can have the conversation.
But when Magic still playing on his prime, no one touch how he move the ball. Not even close.
Thats because of recency bias.
