None of them are T-Mac though haha

if people open packs then he will get down pretty low...like 300k or less, the problem right now is, there isnt really incentive to open packs right now. they shouldve dropped Diamond A.I. at the same time then that would double the amount of openings.

Somebody on the PS4 bid on one of the ones for a million(the one that started off for 805k also) because the next bid available is 1.1 million. I only have 55k so unless someone is really nice and I get lucky I'll not be getting him anytime soon.

I prob wanted this card more than anyone but the anticipation isnt there. There are 6 wings rated higher than him and another 8 with same rating. Yes, its T-Mac, but the timing of this card is a tad late. he has subpar passing and lateral quickness. this isnt the best representation of him. they need to do a TBT where he is 98 overall at least.

I mean honestly we all love T-Mac, but was he really THAT good?

Finally got him. Spent all day sniping for the right price. This dude has an amazing dunk package and 06 Kobe Hotspots

I'm going to wait until his price comes down big time. I honestly don't know where I should put him anyway beside Kobe, Dr. J and LBJ. Looks like they are going to end up in a rotation depending on daily mood. I hope they release AllStar packs again because my most wanted cards are still AS Magic and Shaq, especially for current prices

what do you mean was he really that good? so you are saying Melo at some point in his career was better than prime T-Mac? are you serious? Melo has never been that good to deserve the cards 2k has given him. He may have finished 6th in MVP race once but T-Mac finished 4th in a TIGHT race where you had KG, Shaq, Kobe all of who were on better teams. Timmy won it because he was the best player on the best team in the league, but nobody did what T-Mac did statistically that year even pushing them to the playoffs in a year Grant Hill barely played. T-Mac probably never gets the credit he truly deserves because he always played on garbage teams. He rarely was on the court with Grant Hill or Yao. You think Dirk MVP season was better? Only because Dallas won almost 70 games.

The guy never played on a team that had any good players that werent injured but he was the best offensive force in the league for two years. everyone always points to the game where Kobe scored 24 in the 4th quarter to be the Magic. They also say he shut down T-Mac in the 4th quarter. I remember that team having Shaq, Horace Grant, Glove, Mailman, Fox, Fisher, etc. Name me one player off the top of your head that was on that Orlando team that year.

Better than any version of Melo, Love, Kyrie, Dirk, Brow, all of who have higher rated cards than him. Certainly better than any version of PG13 or Butler. The only other modern player that probably gets shortchanged as much in the game is Wade, and he was only given a great card because of being ASG MVP.

His numbers were similar to MJ MVP card except for the FG%, but T-Mac had zero help.

32ppg, 6.5rpg, 5.5apg. Yes, he was THAT good.
