Kendrick Perkins revives the point guard debate and chooses his best from Curry & Magic

In previous weeks, it became relevant that the Golden State Warriors spoke on a podcast and gave his no-brainer take on choosing himself over Magic Johnson as the best point guard of all time.

This statement sparked controversy and a new debate on whether or not the Warriors star was right. Many NBA legends, including Michael Jordan, came out to say that Magic Johnson is the best point guard of all-time without a question.

But now, former NBA player and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins has come out to say that the Lakers showtime era legend takes the second spot on his point guards of all-time ranking.

While Magic has got the nod from many, in particular former players who played alongside him, Perkins disagrees. He created a list of his top five point guards of all time, and it was Curry at the top, with Magic in second. They were followed by Isiah Thomas in third, John Stockton in fourth, and Russell Westbrook in fifth.

Kendrick Perkins is too young to have followed Magic Johnson's career

Of course, while Kendrick Perkins is a former player he played his entire career this century and was only six seasons into a 15-season career when Stephen Curry debuted in 2009-10, while the bulk of Magic Johnson's career took place when Perkins would have been too young to remember or to properly fathom just how good he was. That's not, by any means, to discredit his opinion, but it does put him in the very extensive list of pundits whose preference for one player over another ties in with who they played with or against, or watched the most.
