Let me qualify by saying up front how much I like GMac, respect what he's done as a coach, and how grateful I am for 2003 and his role in bringing us a national championship.  Kid had a lot of big shots over the course of his career.

I also think that GMac gets / got a lot of sh-t from our fanbase, and from opposing fanbases, similar to the abuse that Trevor Cooney got more recently.  In the main, GMac was an under-rated lead guard IMO, who played on some very flawed teams after his freshman year.  He didn't improve physically over the course of his career, which enabled him to be victimized by teams that overtly tried to physically knock him off stride with extremely physical defense, like uconn and pitt.  I am tremendously happy that he had that epic BET run, to add an additional layer onto his somewhat controversial legacy, because he deserves it.

But I think he was too inconsistent for my tastes, so I left him off in favor of some other players.  If I had to add two more to the list, I'd probably go with Gbinije and Demetris Nichols over GMac.
