Each participant in the debate has their own ideas, but what if the person entering the debate is one of the greatest players in basketball history, "Mr. Air" Michael Jordan?

Sharing through a long message to ESPN's First Take host Stephen A. Smith, owner of 6 NBA championship rings, 6 Finals MVP titles and 5 NBA MVP titles, said:

“The story of who is the greatest is always a never-ending debate, but about the story of the greatest dribbling defender, I would like to have my own opinion as follows.

Magic Johnson is clearly the best dribbling defender of all time. Stephen Curry is very close but in the back, not above the Magic”, Stephen A.Smith reread Michael Jordan's message.

“First of all you need to explain the position of 'ball defender' correctly in order to have a right argument.

Stephen Curry is undoubtedly the greatest pitcher of all time. And it's true that the way he moves in the game creates a lot of chances for his teammates, plus a long throw rate of 43% 3PT his entire career.

But Magic Johnson is like the inventor of the triple-double. Not exactly invented, but Magic has made this concept more visible to the masses, how it affects the big game.

Quite frankly, triple-doubles are almost exclusively a set of stats for dribbling defenders. From there, I think Magic is the best (in this position - PV).

I could go on with a longer explanation, but I don't want to waste your time. I believe you understood what I meant. Also don't forget that Magic Johnson has won the NBA 5 times," Michael Jordan further explained why he disagreed with Stephen Curry as the best PG.

One of the greatest players in history spoke out about the battle between Magic Johnson and Stephen Curry, along with a detailed explanation of why he chose the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

Stephen A. Smith added that Michael Jordan sent him the message at 5:45 a.m., hoping to read it on television as Mr. Air "is tired of discussions about Magic Johnson. not the greatest PG in history".

Hopefully, there will be more new opinions from top NBA stars so that fans can better understand from an insider's perspective, how they see what a great player is.
