All-Time Greatest NBA Point Guards, Ranked

It started with Game 6 of the 1980 Finals. Magic Johnson, just 20 years old, jumped center for the injured Kareem and delivered 42 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists to win the title and Finals MVP. That moment set the tone for a career that redefined the point guard position. At 6’9”, Johnson led fast breaks with flair, no-look passes, and endless charisma.

He won five NBA championships, earned three MVP awards, and transformed the Lakers into a legendary team. Magic didn’t just direct an offense—he conducted a spectacle. His game was art, and every court became his stage.
