They organize the team&#8217;s offense and help everyone get high quality shots. However, they aren&#8217;t just expected to play on one end of the floor.

Born Earvin Johnson Jr. in 1959, he earned the nickname &#8220;Magic&#8221; for his extraordinary skills on the court. Johnson played his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he became a key figure in the &#8220;Showtime&#8221; era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standing 6 feet 9 inches tall, Magic Johnson was a 12-time All-Star and revolutionized the point guard position with his unique combination of size, skill, and charisma. His flashy style of play, highlighted by no-look passes and fast breaks, captivated fans worldwide. Magic led the Lakers to five NBA championships and was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/awards\/finals_mvp.html\">three-time NBA Finals MVP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off the court, Johnson&#8217;s magnetic personality and business acumen made him a successful entrepreneur. In 1991, he shocked the sports world by announcing his retirement after contracting HIV. Despite his health challenges, Magic has been an advocate for HIV\/AIDS awareness and has continued to thrive as a businessman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"players open\">\n\t<div id=\"meta\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"media-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" itemscope=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/req\/202106291\/images\/headshots\/curryst01.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Stephen Curry\">\n<\/div><!-- div.media-item --><div>\n\t<h2>\n\t\t<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/curryst01.html\">Stephen Curry<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\n  <!-- all other pages -->\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n    \n  \n  <p><strong>Pronunciation<\/strong>: \\STEFF-in\\<\/p>\n\n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>\n  <strong>Wardell Stephen Curry II<\/strong>\n  <\/strong>\n  \n  \u25aa\n  Instagram:\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/stephencurry30\">stephencurry30<\/a>\n  \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n(Steph, Baby-Faced Assassin, Chef Curry, The Human Torch, Threezus)\n<\/p>\n  \n\n\n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>\n  Position:\n  <\/strong>\n  Point Guard\n\n\n  \n  \u25aa\n  \n  <strong>\n  Shoots:\n  <\/strong>\n  Right\n<\/p>\n\n\n  <p><span>6-2<\/span>,&nbsp;<span>185lb<\/span>&nbsp;(188cm,&nbsp;83kg) <\/p>\n\n  \n    <p><strong>Team<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/teams\/GSW\/2026.html\">Golden State Warriors<\/a><\/p>\n  \n\n  \n    <p>\n  <strong>Born: <\/strong>\n    <span id=\"necro-birth\" data-birth=\"1988-03-14\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/friv\/birthdays.fcgi?month=3&amp;day=14\">March 14<\/a>,\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/friv\/birthyears.fcgi?year=1988\">1988<\/a>\n    <\/span> <span><nobr>(Age:&nbsp;37-212d)<\/nobr><\/span>\n  <span>\n    in&nbsp;Akron,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/friv\/birthplaces.fcgi?country=US&amp;state=OH\">Ohio<\/a><\/span>\n  <span class=\"f-i f-us\" style=\"\">us<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n  \n\n  \n\n  <p><strong>Relatives<\/strong>: Brother&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/curryse01.html\">Seth&nbsp;Curry<\/a>; Brother-in-law&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/l\/leeda03.html\">Damion&nbsp;Lee<\/a>; Father&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/curryde01.html\">Dell&nbsp;Curry<\/a> <\/p>\n  \n  <p>\n    <strong>\n    \n      College:\n    \n    <\/strong>\n    \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/friv\/colleges.fcgi?college=davidson\">Davidson<\/a>\n    \n  <\/p>\n\n\n  \n  <p>\n    <strong>\n    \n      High School:\n    \n    <\/strong>\n    \n      Charlotte Christian in Charlotte, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/friv\/high_schools.fcgi?country=US&amp;state=NC\">North Carolina<\/a>\n    \n  <\/p>\n\n\n  \n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>\n  Draft:\n  <\/strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/teams\/GSW\/draft.html\">Golden State Warriors<\/a>, 1st round (7th pick, 7th overall), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/draft\/NBA_2009.html\">2009 NBA Draft<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>NBA Debut: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/boxscores\/200910280GSW.html\">October 28, 2009<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n  \n\n  \n<p>\n  \n    <strong>Experience:<\/strong>&nbsp;16 years\n  \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n    \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- div#meta -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n<ul id=\"bling\">\n\n<li class=\"all_star\"><a>11x All Star<\/a><\/li><li class=\" poptip\"><a>2x Scoring Champ<\/a><\/li><li class=\" poptip\"><a>2015-16 STL Champ<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a>4x NBA Champ<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a>11x All-NBA<\/a><\/li><li class=\" poptip\"><a>2009-10 All-Rookie<\/a><\/li><li class=\" poptip\"><a>2010-11 Sportsmanship<\/a><\/li><li class=\" poptip\"><a>2x MVP<\/a><\/li><li class=\" poptip\"><a>NBA 75th Anniv.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/awards\/mvp.html\">two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP)<\/a>, Nash was renowned for his dazzling playmaking and sharpshooting.

His tenure with the Phoenix Suns, where he earned his MVP honors, showcased his ability to elevate a team&#8217;s performance. In addition to his on-court prowess, Nash transitioned to coaching and became the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets for a few seasons, further contributing to the sport&#8217;s evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1702103153955\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who is the greatest PG in NBA history?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While Magic Johnson is widely considered the greatest PG of all time, there is a new generation of fans who give that title to Stephen Curry.
