The five-time champ and three-time Finals and NBA MVP deserves the title of best point guard of all-time.

Magic Johnson’s career puts him not only as the best point guard of all time, but one of the best players of all-time. He finished his career averaging 19.5 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, 11.2 assists per game, and shot 52% from the field. He was a 12-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA First Team selection, led the league in assists four times and steals twice.

Of course though, his most important statistics are his MVP’s and championships. Johnson was a five-time champion, a three-time Finals MVP, and a three-time MVP. Another crazy statistic to note about Johnson is that he never missed the playoffs in his entire career.

He will certainly be remembered as one of the best to ever play.
