But if Bird's back had held up for longer and Magic hadn't gotten HIV ...
... that's an incredibly tough call. Larry Legend's career was cut short, too.

Where does Magic end up all time if he doesn’t retire early due to HIV?

He’d have top 5 locked down by everyone for sure

I think he’s got that locked down regardless

Not universal consensus though

Maybe not, but I think most would say he’s top 5…depending on how you count Wilt

Magic is top 5 IF you need each position. #1 point guard.

What if you don’t need each position?

Probably 6-8. My top 5 - MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Wilt, Bird

Won’t argue with the first 4, but I think it’s hard to go Bird over Magic

Not bad. I don't think Wilt was that good. He was the ultimate stats guy

It's crazy to look at his season when he came back after 4 years off

Ya and some signs he would’ve been able to shoot 3s as well

Likely cuts into MJ's GOATness by preventing 6 chips in 6 trips during the 90's.

Ya I could see that. If Magic stole the 93 title…5 out of 6 just isn’t the same

I think Magic if anything is a bit overrated. He was a great passer but always

I get the first 4…I don’t get having Bird over him though

Well I have Bird at 4. He had no weaknesses.

Magic had just as good of a 9 year stretch…in fact compare age 23-31 for both

You are 100% making my point for me. Magic came into the league and was solid
kimdaddy35

Magic came into the league at 20, Bird was 23. Of course Bird was better

Bird didn’t single-handedly turn the team into a title contender in two years.

Regardless of the HIV retirement, I wish he would have stayed one more year
