Hall of Famer Magic Johnson redefined the point guard position between 1979 and 1992. In a four-year span, Johnson won three MVP awards -- more than any other point guard before or since. Overall, he led the Los Angeles Lakers to five titles and four other NBA Finals.
With Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry off to a record-setting start in the wake of a season that saw him win MVP and his first title, that's the company he's now keeping, even if he doesn't have the same amount of hardware yet.
So could it be that Curry is playing point guard better than anyone has since Magic?
Answering that question requires comparing Curry to his modern rival (whose Los Angeles Clippers face the Warriors on Thursday): Chris Paul.
