    No they don't tell the whole story, but just curious:
    Who do you choose? Tmac or VC?

    Not sure, really. I haven't watched T-Mac too much, but I do hear he can be slightly frustrating as a player, too. The whole never getting out of the first round also speaks volumes.

    That's understandable. Here's my 2 cents: Do I think Tmac is a better player? Yes. But definitely not by a lot. The key advantages Tmac really has is his height (6'8") and he is arguably better at defense than Carter. I don't let the numbers fool me when it comes to his shooting. He isnt a bad shooter but more or less streaky(moreso i noticed with his stint with the Rockets). He has Vince's skill set but has a taller body so it's even more difficult to guard him.
    And some can argue that he is more clutch after seeing that performance he pulled against the Spurs, but similar arguments can be made for Vince.
    However, i think one thing carter is better than Tmac is his playmaking. yes he is a scorer but he is more willing to dish out the ball than Tmac is.

    agreed.

    I think T-Mac is slightly better than Vince at this point, but when it comes to lead a team(specially young team like Nets) I choose Vince over T-Mac any day. Remember Olando?

    Look, I'm not an Allen Iverson fan. Never have been, never will be. But there's no denying that the guy is an impressive specimen, even at his age. Joe Johnson is a great player. I don't think he's reached his prime yet, but when he does he'll easily be a top 5 SG in the league. Right now, I don't think he is.

    I agree with Denny's list much more than the original one.

    I don't know who I'd consider better Vince or Tmac. But I think Vince at this point in time is better than J-Rich, Kevin Martin, Stephen Jackson, Ray Allen, Allen Iverson, Michael Redd, and Rip Hamilton, and probably Ginobili.

    Brandon Roy I really need to see more of to tell.
