Scoreboard is some kind of rolling average of your ping. Network settings also might affect the scoreboard value, making it appear lower than it really is.

net_graph is generally the most accurate of the three

"ping" in console is usually higher than your real ping, possibly by a fixed amount (17ms?). This could be because of the amount of time it takes for the command to register in the console or something, I have no idea.

If you want to test this stuff for yourself, open up a private server and use the net_fakelag command. If you type "net_fakelag 50," your ping should be shown as 100, but will be represented in different ways by the scoreboard, net_graph, and ping command. Whichever is closest to 100 will be the most accurate for you.

The scoreboard shows a ping number? For me as long as I have 3 green bars, I'm happy.
