Take off the rose colored glasses. Just wow.
IMO it's:
1) McGrady
2) Hill
3) Penny

There is no doubt in my mind Mac is on a different tier from the other 2.

You do realize that Hill averaged ~25/10/7 in his prime right? That's pretty close to a TD average. Although, however, I think TMac could rival him in talent.

Prime Grant Hill was not nearly as athletic as Prime T-Mac. T-mac is taller, longer and just plain more explosive. It's not to discredit Prime Grant Hill in anyway, but it is what it is. Plus Hill couldn't even shoot. This fact was exsposed when ALAN HOUSTON blew up in the two years leading to his big New York deal. HOUSTON shooting prowness made Hill look like the lacking player that he was.

I'm not sure I follow what you are saying here. Houston's best season was with Grant Hill throwing him passes. Hill made Houston better, and Houston's shot helped Hill's game too. Neither made the other look lacking and they should have stayed together. Their games complimented each other.

Yes, they were a compliment because they excelled where the other was lacking...duh! Hill was the adept passer and Houston was the Shooter. It has been well documented that Grant Hill hired a shooting coach after the 99' season. He was probably jealous of ALAN HOUSTON's shooting. You can tell Grant Hill can't shoot, just by looking at his ugly form (see LeBron James)

Prime McGrady is a top 40 player alltime.
