Was Magic better guarding contemporary power forwards, many of whom posted up a lot, or contemporary small guards who tended to be much quicker?
I am assuming he is best on wings (SF/SG) but if you feel he is better as a combo forward or combo guard defensively rather than guarding 2/3, let us know that too.

When you say by far, do you mean he was better on power forwards than big guards?
