The conversation has begun.
That's what ESPN's Anthony Slater believes when it comes to Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry and the discussion of the greatest point guards of all time.
"The best point guard of all-time conversation is already beginning to bubble," Slater wrote on Monday, the day before the Warriors get the season underway with a clash against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Magic Johnson is accepted as the best point guard ever.
On one level, it's impossible to compare Curry to Johnson.
Steph has hit more than 300 3-pointers in six different seasons, and no one else in the NBA has ever had more than one season of 300 3s.
Magic was 6-foot-9, a player before his time and frankly out of any time, his own magical maestro who ran the Showtime Lakers.
Curry has many argue that he's not even a point guard, that you can't shoot as much as him and run around as much as him and be a point guard.
Johnson never had the ball out of his hands for long.

There are other names that can be thrown around. Oscar Robertson was a legend of an earlier era. John Stockton has the most assists ever. Isiah Thomas was brilliant at his peak. The list can go on.
But at the end of the day, anyone arguing for Steph will likely be arguing against Magic.
They'll go down as two of the best ever, regardless of which side of this aisle you fall on.
