Vince Carter vs Tracy McGrady Who Was Better?
There have been some good player vs player threads of late to my surprise. I got the idea for this one after reading the who could have been like kobe thread. And the 2 names that pop up to most was Tmac and VC. Cousins. who was the better of the two?
* waits for Sir Charles to come up with +/- stats*
I was doing some thinking just now and to be honest couldnt really decide. Tmac was the closest to reaching his potential but they both didn't. Carter could dunk like a freak monster and could pull up from anywhere.
Thoughts?

Re: Vince Carter vs Tracy McGrady Who Was Better?
I'm going to go with Vince. He had a longer prime and was less injury-prone than McGrady and made a low-budget franchise in the Raptors get to the playoffs and actually semi-complete while changing the face of the franchise while he played there. A career 45% FG%, 38% 3P%, 5.5 RPG, 4.2 APG, 23.4 PPG player.
In the end Vince Carter was more beneficial to the NBA than McGrady ever was.

In terms of offensive efficiency, they were about the same. McGrady got to the foul line a bit more. Vince was a better three point shooter.
Vince had the obvious edge in athleticism.
McGrady was the better and more versatile defender. He could defend positions 1-3 with his length.
McGrady was a bit more consistent.
McGrady was more reliable.
Better player was Tracy McGrady.

Easily Carter. Just because T-Mac had one great season doesn't make him better.
Prime and Career, it goes to Carter. He strung many great seasons together, while T-Mac managed about 2 or 3...

That means exactly nothing to me.
In this decade Kobe's had 2 seasons better, Lebron has had 1 season better, Wade has had 1 season better, Shaq has had 3 seasons better.
So no, its not even in the top 7 this decade.

Peak - McGrady

Carrier - Carter

McGrady from 00 to 05 was better than any version of Carter.
But yeah T-Mac had a ridiculously short prime, to think that he peaked at 23 and started to lose his athleticism at 25...

I would look at it this way.
You're a GM who can have either VC or T-Mac for all of the 2000's to date.
Clearly you would take VC, knowing what you know now about T-Mac's injuries and equaly inconsistent (if not more so) effort.
