Lakers Video: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Clarifies Taking Oscar Robertson Over Magic Johnson As Best Point Guard Ever

“I was asked earlier this week who is the best point guard in the NBA,” Abdul-Jabbar said in his video. “It’s a very difficult question. Steph Curry was mentioned, he’s the best 3-point shooters in the NBA these days and a very valuable player. And people also mention Magic Johnson. I picked Oscar Robertson, but I should have said first of all that Magic really should get the priority because I played with him and we won five world championships together and he’s my best teammate ever.

“So I can’t put anybody else in front of \[Magic\]. But I have to give credit to Oscar for being the complete player that he was and an example for a whole lot of players that come up behind him. It’s almost impossible for me to determine who is the best between all those guys but I can tell you why \[I picked Magic\] and that’s the success that I enjoyed with Magic. So there you have it.”

    This isn’t fucking hard, Kareem.

    Just say, “for my money, Magic is the best.”

    That’s it.

    Leave the speculation and agonizing to fans.
