TMac > Penny > Carter
TMac's game was reminiscent of Penny and Pip's combined, but was better scorer than both. Penny probably could've put 25+ a game, but wouldn't of made sense since he mainly played PG.
Carter was the most athletic of the three, but wasn't as versatile.

Even factoring in the dunk contest tmac caught a lob 360'd between his legs n yammed plus a windmill dunk in that contest. Vince was just above and beyond that day. Dunk contest puts it out of reach when mentioned, in favor of tmac.
Plus hes an underrated passer and defender.

t-mac was up 3-1 on those strong ass Pistons teams with Pat Garrity, Andrew Declerk, DArrell Hunter, and a 70 year old back as his supporting cast.....
YOu nikkaz forget at his best, there was a legitimate debate as to who was the best SG in the league between T-mac and Kobe. Vince had already earned his reputation as an injured, underachiever by the early 2000s
and I wasnt old enough to remember whether penny was ever considered the best Player at his position in the league, but I can clearly remember T-mac being considered that...

Nah, Terrell Brandon got much reps than Penny did for best pg in the league, which still mind-boggling to this day when the 90's had Stockton, Payton, and a young Kidd who were all better than Brandon.
Gotta add Iverson with that group too
pretty much.
Mac was a better shooter than the other two and could take it to the rim at ease.

Dawg one of the happiest memories in my life are those Tmac 50 point games and how ESPN would interrupt the current broadcast to show him ignorantly pulling up from 28 feet with a lazy eye and giving that legendary leg kick....
T-Mac is what melo's overhyped ass was supposed to be

He was beyond Kobes level. Ill say penny was a better all around player. But shouldn't Grant Hill be on this list instead of Vince?
I agree T-Mac and Vince weren't really in Penny's era. An better comparison would be Penny, Grant Hill and Jamal Mashburn. T-Mac and Vince belong in the same category as Iverson which came after Penny's era.

As a Knicks fan and a Melo fan i agree with this
I was gonna come in here and say Penny...but when I think about it, it really is TMac. Y'all "he didn't make his teammates better" muthafukkas obviously don't remember TMac properly, cuz dude was also a great distributor, and probably the best passer at his position in his prime. Dude had point guard vision and passing skills to go with insane scoring ability. Look at those Orlando teams--they were GARBAGE! TMac was also one of the best one on one defenders at his position...the only thing he lacked was a stronger back and more killer instinct.
