[...] Vous ne vous attendez pas des choses comme cela – Ã moins que vous ne vous attendez pas plus. Vous ne vous attendez surtout pas aprÃ¨s la saison, nous avons vu de Vince Carter. Il ya deux directions diffÃ©rentes que je voulais prendre ce morceau comme je l'explique dans la nuit Vince Carter a fait reculer le / coeur et dÃ©cida d'aller en Nouvelle (d'oÃ¹ le photo ci-dessus). Je suis en conflit sur ce que j'ai vu parce que nous avons tous la mÃªme perception de Vince Carter. Il est la dÃ©finition du potentiel. Il a Ã©galement la dÃ©finition du potentiel gaspillÃ©. Je n'ai jamais Ã©tÃ© de la mentalitÃ© que Vince pourrait Ãªtre le nouveau Jourdain. Il y avait beaucoup de choses sur lui qui semblait faire dÃ©faut. Mais il avait une plus grande capacitÃ© en lui que la plupart ne pouvait jamais imaginer ainsi quand on le vit par pulvÃ©risation aprÃ¨s des nuits oÃ¹ il excella, nous sommes devenus frustrÃ©s et amers qu'il refuserait de faire les choses que nous voulions faire. … URL article original: http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/2010/02/09/vince-carter-went-nova-sigh/ [...]

“Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.”

I suggest that that you just speak for yourself. The only stupid people here are those who have not heard of writing styles using irony and yet have the nerve to comment like a college professor on a freshman’s written piece. “Insanely idiotic”, rambling incoherent”, “rational thought”- LOL!!!! The writer did not mean to disparage VC’s talents but to awaken us of the “what might have been” in VC’s career.

I agree with Alex… You guys are really stupid. VC is coming to a new team and learning a whole new way the game is played. Vince is doing what he does, put up shots. Maybe what you haters should remember it’s a team that wins games and not a player. You can only ride a guy so much (al-la King James) and expect him to do it for you night in and night out. The Magic are in a good position because they have several guys that can go on spurts so they don’t have to depend on just one guy. I wish everyone would just lay off VC and the Magic. Everyone was talking last year about they didn’t have what it takes to complete but they ended up in the Finals. So do us TRUE fans/supports a favor and shut the hell up. Heck even Doc Rivers knows who is better and he won the Championship. What have you won? I thought so… If it isn’t VC it’s DH so what’s new. We will see who is sitting @ home in May…

[...] is making fun of Vince Carter. So when VC drops 47 on national television, naturally it warrants this post. But it probably warrants a little something extra from us as well, which is where I come in. I [...]

To think what AI could have done with the body and athleticism of Carter…

What you have just said, is one of the most insanely, idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rationale thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul

i must say this is the best description of his carrier i have read. i have watched vc since his nba debut and been a fan from that first game….often trying to justify his lack of desire and will to be a player he should have been and yet going crazy when he decides to show up on the court and puts out numbers like this…still i think that this last part sums it up best..he was an allen iverson heart away from dominating this game for the past 10 years

Wow, we have a bunch of VC apologists here, huh? After reading the entire article I think he pretty much nailed it. VC could have been one of the 10 best basketball players ever. This year he has looked like a shell of his former self. He rarely dunks. He rarely goes into the lane. When he does, because he can’t jump, he takes some weird circus shot that ends up going over the backboard or clanging off the rim. In Jan. he had the worst shooting slump of his career. It looked like he was going to become Vince Carter’s expiring contract next year. And then boom he played one game with heart and passion and we got to see what could have been. Unfortunately we have only seen that once in 50 some odd games as a Magic player and I will not be holding my breath in hope of seeing it again soon. The writer is correct in that basketball is not VC’s passion like it is to Kobe or was to Mike. VC is probably a much more balanced person as a whole. He is probably happier than either of those two guys ever will be (save for when they win a championship and only then for about 24 hours). I would much rather have VC for a friend than either of those two, but being a decent guy with incredible basketball talents just isn’t quite enough to win a championship or be one of the greatest players ever. I think VC is okay with that, although as a Magic fan I hope he tries real hard to change that perception over the next 5 months.

I lived in Toronto from 1999-2008 and I was a witness to Vinsanity from it’s early beginnings to it’s anti-climactic ending. Vince was a God in Toronto, people seriously thought he was the second coming of MJ. I’m not gonna lie I was also a bit caught up in it. And around the height of his popularity, there were many arguments over who the best player in the NBA, Vince or Kobe. From the dunk contest to the Nike Shox Commercials, Vince was on top of the world. Things just went downhill from when he missed that last shot against the Sixers in the second round of the playoffs. His career just fizzled away and he was merely an afterthought. And now people just loath him in Toronto. The bigger they are the hard they fall. “Heâ€™s also the definition of wasted potential” Couldn’t agree with you more.
