#1 Earvin 'Magic' Johnson
Who else was going to be on the top of the list?
A 12-time All-Star, 5-time NBA Champion, 3-time NBA Finals MVP, 3-time league MVP, 2nd all-time in triple-doubles with 138 of them, averaged 11.2 apg over the course of his career which tops the league's history.
Not only does Magic Johnson has the resume for the greatest point guard of all time, his accomplishment matches up with anyone who has ever stepped foot on the hardwood floor.
As a rookie, a rookie Earvin 'Magic' Johnson started at center in the place of the injured Kareem Abdul-Jabaar in game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals and dropped 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and led the Los Angles Lakers to the NBA title while clinching the NBA Finals MVP.
To follow that up, he settled his rivalry with Larry Bird in the 1987 NBA Finals as he took a page out of his teammate Kareem-Abdul Jabaar's book and dropped a game-winning baby hook shot to seal game 4 and helped the Lakers take a 3-1 lead in the Finals.
Even the great Larry Bird had to admit that Magic Johnson was the greatest player he had ever seen. For now, Magic Johnson occupies the penthouse for the greatest point guards of all time.
