Curry, to me, is a shooting guard.
There's a reason Jerry West built a team around him with many ball handlers.
Also, Moses Malone and Isaiah Thomas have to be the most underappreciated players of all time.
Hot Take: For one year, to win it all, with oldschool strict man to man defense only, I'd take prime Moses Malone over Kobe Bean ... abd I'm a die hard Laker fan.

I suppose Erving, Gervin, Moses malone, kareem and gilmore are considered 70s players.
I still consider Harden a SG (I think has played more time in that position accounting his whole career). Considering Harden a PG, then I am OK whit your list. Maybe the only changes I would made would be Iverson instead of Tmac in the SG position. I don´t like very much Iverson but his resumee is more complete. Howard maybe could compite with Ewing for the last C spot.

Nice list... my additions to it are in blue.. altho I didn't highlight when I changed the order.
PG:
Magic
Curry
Isaiah
Nash
Stockton
SG:
MJ
Kobe
Harden
Wade
Iverson
SF:
Lebron
Bird
KD
T-Mac
Kawhi
PF:
Malone
Giannis
Dirk
KG
Barkley
C:
Hakeem
Shaq
Duncan
Jokic
Dwight - I'd even go with Gobert here because I'm biased against Ewing and David Robinson for how MJ and Pippen used to clown them... plus I don't think either would fare very well in this new era of spacing.

Mainly I'd put Moses over Ewing, Nash over Harden and move Harden to the sg list over Tmac. I mean Harden led the league in scoring like 3x which tells me sg is a more natural position for him.

Duncan is not a C.
Harden is not a PG.
Curry is not better than Magic.
