i kno i am gonna get bombed on when i say that Vince Carter is over rated, but i feel he is. He is a very good player and he draws the crowd and plays exciting basketball (when he's in the mood)
BUT i feel like he tends to back down from challenges, like when the Raps play teams with good SGs, he usually doesn't guard them, i remember one game against the Magic and McGrady put up good numbers while playing solid D on Carter while Peterson attempted to guard T-Mac... i have seen him soak his head in/under his shirt (i kno he's crying sometimes) when they are losing and he can't do a damn thing, i don't think u see the star player do that on ANY team other than the Raps...
He doesn't seem to have that mind set that he could take over a game, that he could single handledly win and carry his team. His nice guy personality gets old when ur losing, and when ur team wins without u.
Me and my friend were discussing this: if AI was in Raps instead of Vince.... i seriously believe they would have went to the FInals... SERIOUSLY... It seems to me that the Raps just have upgraded versions (cept point) at every position that would help AI even more. The front court is better suited for AI, Dike may get more boards but has not real post game, that hook is weak now, Coleman? please... Harpring plays no D but does board, McKie does a little of everything but i feel mo peterson does it better with more athleticism to run with AI, Davis has a solid post game/runs the floor and had shot blockers/hustlers/boards in JYD and Keon (when they had him)
was there a legit reason why carters started to perfer shooting instead of taking it to the rim?
The raps looked good but i feel VC ruined it, what do u guys think?
