Vince Carter Appreciation Thread

[ForceOfNature]

During his early years, Vince Carter was a highlight-making machine. He was absolutely ridiculous from 1999 to 2001. He had the most amazing dunks I've ever seen from anybody. He also had crazy game-winners as well as athletic layups around the rim. Vince slowed down in around 2002, and injuries slowed him down from 2002 to about late 2004, when he was traded to the New Jersey Nets. When he played his first games for the Nets, he displayed the same excitement (although not on the same level as before) that he did during his first 3 seasons in the Association. He has since slowed down, but is still a border-line All-Star type player. However the highlights have gone down. His career will most notably be known for his phenomenal highlights early on.

So this thread is just to appreciate the glory that is Vince Carter. Share your thoughts/memories on the greatest NBA dunker of all time. The man with so many nicknames: Vinsanity, Invincible, Vincredible, Vintastic, Vindication, Prince Vince, Half Man Half Amazing, Human Highlight Film II, Air Canada, Air Jersey, The Dunk Machine, VC, etc.

Many people don't like this guy or criticize him, but you gotta appreciate how exciting his game is. I have never seen anybody this good at making overall highlights, and it's not even close. Here's a great video:

Vince Carter is one of the best Highflyers during his prime, and The first franchise player of the Toronto Raptors.

Appreciated although it's sad to see him and know that he could have easily been the best player today if he had any kind of work ethic in his Toronto days and a superstar mentality...... Dude had all the talent in the world, but he was too passive & laid back to ever become the player he was capable of becoming. Same thing can be said for Rasheed Wallace.

Sometimes an underrated scorer, always an underrated shooter, and is an underrated passer. Watching him in Toronto was a highlight film every night. In his prime he was one of the best in the game. Best dunker I've ever seen in NBA history. Could have done so much more with his talent, though... 32/6/6 was always a possibility.

Well, as far as I know, Vince hasn't eaten any babies.


















But then again, he hasn't gone on the record as not eating babies, so who knows.

MJ with the heart of frightened school girl. Amazing combination of supreme physical talent, tremendous skill, and being a complete ****ing D.oucebag.

Hey, you stole that from Clone High USA!

Anyway, Vince Carter really, really appreciates men raping him. Is that what you mean by Vince Carter Appreciation thread?

He is also a worthless, stupid sack of ****, and squandered his talent accordingly!:
