NBA: Top 5 greatest Point Guards of all time

#1 Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson led the Lakers to five titles

The greatest entertainer that the NBA has ever witnessed, Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, is without a doubt the greatest player of the 1980s and is a top five player all-time.

During his days, with one of the most famous teams of all time, 'The Showtime Lakers', Magic impressed fans and oppositions alike with his dazzling displays and also with a storied rivalry against another historic player, Larry Bird.

His three regular-season MVPs and three Finals MVPs, provide irrefutable validation to his stature. Johnson also had the most important ability that is expected from a great player, to perform when it mattered most, in Playoffs and Finals.

He is an important part of Lakers lore, without whose presence, the Lakers franchise wouldn't have been as illustrious as it is.

Also, the leader of the greatest team ever assembled, the 'Dream Team', that brought back the Olympic Gold to the USA, Magic occupies the pinnacle position in the all-time greatest point guards list, as well as being one of the most respected players of all time.
