Vince Carter now says he won't dunk anymore
 

Yesterday Carter announced to the media that he won't be dunking anymore, calling the practice "not that important or interesting".

Sorry Vince, you're no Michael Jordon, so dunking's the only thing I like about your game anymore.

Becoming more of a bitch with each passing moment. He should get a divorce from his mother asap.

You'd never see Kobe or Jordon or anyone else say such a stupid thing. :ak47:

nobody gives a fuck what that loser chooses to do

i agree

Damn,i really like that player and really sorry to see him goes down:(

considering his knee problems not dunking is probably a good move on his part. As long as he can hit the basket from the ground.

King of the Heal

what a fucking wanker i think..

he's one spectacular player when it comes to pleasing the crowd but he's not the likes of the NBA greats like Jordan, Bird, etc. you have to more than that to become one of them. :2 cents:

Talk about yet another head case it's only a matter of time til he blows up and jumps in the stands...

What an asshat, I remember a couple of years ago when everybody was comparing him to Jordan, now look where hes at

what a fucking wuss.. 3,4 years ago whereever the raptors played he used to bring in a huge crowd.. now the poor guy is booed by the raptor fans..

I have seen just about all the Raptor games for the last few years since Vince joined the team. I think he is one of the best
atheletes in the game and a very nice guy as well.
What he isn't is a Leader or a go to guy and certainly not on the
level of Kobe , Iverson , McGrady , or Garnett.

He is a really good player and can contribute to any Team in the
league. The problem is that he rose too fast in the Spotlight and
alot of people predicted him to be something that he was not.
Toronto saw him as the Saviour and the NBA saw him as Jordans
replacement. People get crazy when they see a sick Dunker ....and they over look his other skills.

With all the commercials and endorsement deals ....it started the
whole " Vincesanity " thing. People couldn't get enough of his
Dunking ....and rightfully so ! He's one of most entertaining players the league has ever seen.

Whenever someone wins the Dunk Off people start to get excited
and start to say things like " he's the next" and this and that.
Harold Miner is an example of that !
But really a Dunk is such a small part of the game and a small
part of the Greatest players games.

It's funny that the one thing that elevated Vince to the status he is at right now ....he refuses to do. Ironic.

It's time for him to try and reinvent himself with another team.
His days in Toronto are over. He gave us some fucking Awesome
highlights though !

Good luck to him

Jordon now

That guy's ego is bigger then the court

Carter without dunks is a nobody. :2 cents:

Exactly!

God I can't wait to get rid of him. I would be glad to take 2 mediocre players for him instead of a superstar.

God if I had my way I would trade him for Steve Nash. Fuck that would be awesome! :thumbsup

Carter is a bitch...he sits out when he has a hangnail..the guy came to toronto just for the tv highlights...Id love it if they kept him off of TSN.

Bastard ass mofo..lol

Carter for Nash....Phoenix would have to be dumber than dumb to do that.

LOL! Well I can always dream :1orglaugh

DH

I agree too

Anybody have a link to that dunk that he did in the olympics in Australia?

That dunk was sick, and will never be duplicated...

just like the ones they use today to compare to jordan :1orglaugh

Thats a shame because he is the best dunker alive

Who is Jordon?

Two years ago, I proposed trading him for Sprewell in the Raptors newsgroup.

I was called many things, none of them nice.

Whet do people think about this, in hindsite?

I think it's dawning on Carter he will never be great, and he's lashing out.

I think he's part of a greater trend in which athletes are so fully coddled--especially when Mom's in the mix--that they simply don't have the desire to be great, but only entertaining.

Jordon didn't care about the money, but cared deeply about being great. He enjoyed his money, and apparently lots of honies, but on court, he was all business. Different era though. The world has changed dramatically in just the last 15 years or so.

Who is this "Jordon" character you speak of?

What he's trying to do is get traded sooner, then later. Once he gets a new change or scenery he'll preform great.

i doubt any team wants with the way he's (not) playing now..

and a few years ago everyone and their moms' analyst would rather have Vince or T-Mac over Kobe.

pfffft.

Can you say OVERRATED!!

You'll be surprised, Once he does get traded... I think he'll be back at one of the elite all star calibre players in the NBA.

ya its a big piss off, he doesnt to be known for just dunking,

last time i checked pro atheletes were payed for by fans, its his job to entertain them, i am very dissapointed in him.

dunking has nothing to do with playing basketball..dunking is just an athletic act...and if Americans would not dunk so much they would win the last editions of the Olympics and the world cup

damn..

this guy could dunk for sure

He did jump over a 7-1 guy, but he used his left hand on the guy's shoulder, helping him go a bit higher than he normally would have.
