I’m pretty sure that Vince Carter has some form of amnesia and he only remembers that he’s one of the baddest mutha f– “shut your mouth”, on the court when he’s ready.
When VC attacks the rim with gusto, ain’t nobody can stop him. Go ahead with your circa 2000 flavor Mr.Carter. That’s what people want to see.
As part of the club’s 15th anniversary celebrations, the Raptors are hoping to honour, of all people, Vince Carter on Nov. 22 when Orlando returns.
”Everybody wants to know how we can do it, but Vince is part of the history here,” GM Bryan Colangelo told the Orlando Sentinel. “Most of the people that he had problems with here are gone.”
Fans who love to bash Vinsanity may differ.
It took all of 2 games for the worst case scenario of the Vince Carter trade to Orlando happening, and it came in the second quarter of his return to New Jersey.
Carter left in the second quarter with a sprained ankle, but he played an early role in dealing the Nets their second consecutive loss, a 95-85 defeat in their home debut.
Carter said he was hopeful that the injury would not force him to miss a game. “I’m just going to be smart about it,” he said. “It’s a long season and I’m already feeling better than I did before.”
Vince couldn’t be making me regret this decision already – could he?

Another van glorious season of NBA basketball is about to begin and Hooped Up does a quick and dirty preview of all 30 clubs.
The Orlando Magic made it to the top of the NBA mountain last season and in the end, they lost to a much better Los Angeles Lakers club. This year, they’ll attempt the same ascent with Vince Carter, but will that be enough for them to get past the vastly improved Celtics and Cavs this time around in the east. Read More »
The University of North Carolina’s basketball program has been hoarding great high school players for themselves since 1910 and they decided to celebrate making your favorite school a top prospects distant second option by having an Alumni game. As usual, Chapel Hill was packed because basketball action was promised and Tar Heels of Christmas past were in attendance to put on a show to celebrate 100 years of UNC college basketball dominance.
But that show both began and ended with Vince Carter killin’ it like he was fresh out of Mainland High School, lookin’ mad spry!
Ricky Rubio won’t go away, Ramon Sessions is all of a sudden some PG god, David Lee being a double-double machine isn’t good enough for the Knicks and Marquis Daniels has been in trade purgatory for weeks. So I might as well take it back to the old school and reminisce on the days when Vince Carter was the best thing ever since high speed Internet until, he soured on T-Dot.
Of course VC has had his share of highlights in New Jersey, but when he was in Toronto he was one bad metric measuring mo’fo as you’ll see.
There were a lot of close games this past season and these are some of the most memorable ones that were decided at the buzzer.
Number one on this list is no surprise,but the shot at number 9 should be bumped way up.
Enjoy!
Orlando and New Jersey have agreed in principle in a deal that will bring Vince Carter to the Magic and send Tony Battie, Rafer Alston and Courtney Lee to the New Jersey, according to a league source.
The Magic have yet to confirm the deal, but the addition of a scorer in Carter, the trade would seem to end the Magic’s quest to bring back forward Hedo Turkoglu for a long term deal.
The deal also could include Nets’ forward Ryan Anderson. But there might still need to be some maneuvering done because the salaries are way off. Read More »
