Magic Johnson Declares Steph Curry One of the Greatest of All Time

San Francisco, California – NBA legend Magic Johnson praised Stephen Curry during an episode of ESPN’s Get Up. The conversation highlighted Curry’s remarkable journey since his 2009 draft, where few anticipated his rise to becoming a basketball icon.

Johnson stated, “He’s one of the greatest of all time. Then, he changed the game forever… Nobody we’ve seen ever with the ability of Steph Curry to shoot that basketball. The greatest shooter we’ve ever seen in history… He also brought in fans that we didn’t have in the NBA before. He brought in kids.”

The Los Angeles Lakers star emphasized Curry’s impact on the sport, noting that he has become beloved by fans. “He’s an icon, and it’s only a few icons,” Johnson continued. “There’s only a few athletes that’s ever been beloved… He’s definitely on my dream team as the greatest that’s ever played this game. Him and LeBron’s legacy will live on forever.”

As Curry continues to push his team, the Golden State Warriors, through the 2025 NBA playoffs, fans speculate that another championship win would solidify his place in basketball history. However, achieving this goal could be challenging due to the fierce competition in the Western Conference.
