NBA fans love to debate players from the past against today’s stars. Usually, it is whichever era you grew up in for which player you will select as being better.

Recently the X user @TheHoopCentral asked fans to play start, bench, cut between Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, and Stephen Curry.

Most fans either had Magic or Curry as their starters. No one selected Thomas as a starter, but a few did cut Curry in favor of Thomas coming off the bench.

Which players would you select to start, bench, and cut?
