TEXT MESSAGE VIDEO: Stephen A. Smith says Michael Jordan texted him to tell him that Magic Johnson is greater than Steph Curry

Stephen A. Smith says Michael Jordan texted him to tell him that Magic Johnson is greater than Steph Curry….

So what does Stephen A do today? He comes out with a text from MICHAEL f’n JORDAN of all people.

Or so we are supposed to think.

Some on the Internet think Smith made it up but he has to be absolutely crazy to do that. You’re going to make up a text from Jordan of all people? If Smith were to get called out on it there would be such a massive pushback that his career would take a massive hit. You can make things up about Lonzo Ball if you want (well, not really), but you start lying about texts from Jordan and that’s a different ball game… kind of like when Magic played point compared to Curry.

Jordan did add in his message to Smith that he believes Curry is “by far the best shooter of all time.” However, Jordan wrote that Johnson “invented the triple-double” and pointed out that Magic has five NBA titles, one more than Curry.

Of course, Johnson and Jordan’s careers overlapped, with the two sharing the floor on the 1992 “Dream Team” with USA Basketball. Still, arguably the sport’s greatest player ever weighing in on this debate is big news, and Jordan clearly put plenty of thought into his message to Smith.

“I beg to differ on greatest point guard of all-time. Magic Johnson is easily the best PG of all-time. Steph Curry is very close, but not in front of Magic.”

Michael Jordan’s text to Stephen A. Smith, which he read live on First Take this morning. The debate began when Stephen Curry proclaimed himself the best point guard in NBA history in a podcast appearance with Gilbert Arenas earlier this week. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith backed Curry over Magic Johnson in a close decision. But on First Take Wednesday morning, Smith revealed that Michael Jordan had texted him a take on the matter.

“Although greatest of anything is always a debate, I beg to differ on greatest point guard of all-time… Magic Johnson is easily the best point guard of all time. Steph Curry is very close, but not in front of Magic,” Jordan said, per Smith.

The timing couldn’t be better for Stephen A, who this week has been getting absolutely slammed by professional athletes and social media for claiming things that the players say aren’t true. On Monday, Smith said that Stefon Diggs wasn’t happy in Buffalo with the Bills, to which Diggs said Smith should get better sources.

Then yesterday, Lonzo Ball released a video absolutely obliterating Smith after he made comments about how injured Zo still was.
