even though some them got more assists, none of them are as good as Magic.

I agree that Magic was the best all around player on the list, Stockton was the best true point guard. And boy did I hate him. He killed my Kings all the time. Specifically, game five in the playoffs in the lockout season. He is second on the "Kill" list for Kings fans, right behind Robert Horry.

Good hub.

I rate Magic as the third or fourth all-time best player, but Oscar Robertson was pretty close. He's still the only player to average a triple-double for an entire season!

Oscar Robertson was amazing, but you've got to love Jason Kidd - still the best instinctive passer in the NBA today.
