The greatest Point-Guard of all time is Magic Johnson.  He  changed the game and position with his flashy passes, run-and-gun style of offense, but also cannot be knocked for lack of rings.

A 6’9 point-guard for his career Magic averaged 19 pts 11 assists 7 rebounds per game

Magic won FIVE rings for the Lakers and single handedly sealed one of them when Kareem was down and injured, sky hook anyone?

After winning championships in high school and college, Johnson was selected first overall in the 1979 NBA draft by the Lakers. He won a championship and an NBA Finals MVP Award in his rookie season

3 time NBA Finals MVP (1980, 1982, 1987)
3 time NBA MVP (1987, 1989, 1990)
12 time NBA All-Star (1980, 1982–1992)

Unfortunately Magic’s playing career was cut short due to his battle with AIDS, but his NBA career is still tops in the history of the league.
