Typical idiotic VC-haters.

The writer of the article uses actual facts, numbers, and stats to back his argument, and the VC-hating idiots don’t use ANY facts, stats or numbers. They only use old cliches like “soft”, “doesn’t care about winning”, “laughs”, etc. without a single reference to any verifiable FACTS.

VC… respect. He’s done a lot for his time in NJ. Making the nets respectable with the help of Blur. He should have been traded to the Blazers though… they could seriously win the chip with him around.

The Nets are gonna break this thing wide open next year as long as VC, Blur and B-Lo and Ryan Anderson are there. But winning the whole thing? NO.

Just like ray allen, VC is a complimentary player. He’s no Jordan, that’s for sure, but even Jordan had Pippen. Stop bringing up Kobe, Wade, and every other 2 guard because NONE of them have won a chip on their own. Wade had Shaq, Kobe had Shaq and Ray Ray has KG, and Pierce.

VC needs players like that around him if he’s EVER gonna see even the shadow of a championship ring.

doc u dont know shit. watch nets post-games and u will c how shitty he treats reporters when he is questioned after the game. he hates talking to the media because they all take shit out of context and he doesn’t like discusses his team’s losses. so dont try saying he doesnt care about winning. 2nd, if u all read some of these comments, ull notice people AREN’T SURE wut vince has been critisized for in past years. which is pure PROOF that people just believe wut they hear, and wut they hear is a bunch of misinterpreted bullshit.

if vince carter hit that shot against philly in 01 of the conf semis.. most of these discussions wouldnt even take place right now. nobody recognizes how much he’s done for 2 franchises.

i agree completely with this article. Vince deserves a lot more respect than what he gets. I mean the guy played this whole last season with an injured ankle and still averaged more than 20 points 5 rebounds and 5 assists. This is really unfair for someone to get all of this hate when they play at a high level even when injured.

And by the looks of things, getting YOUR college degree wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

And Austin’s common sense prevails among the overwhelming ignorance.

@Marco: You make it sound like completing his college degree was a bad thing? And for the record, AI’s my favourite player of all-time, and even I’d admit he played worse than Vince in that game. Truth be told, I thought that last shot was going in. Check VC’s line for that series. Truly numbers of a man who does not care about winning.

@Marko — The graduation was in the morning, the game was at night. He took a private jet and the flight wasn’t that long. So what would you rather him have been doing at the time of the graduation? Sitting in his hotel room watching TV and eating room service? ‘Cause that’s what every other player was doing.

@Markos, Post 124

Allen Iverson, Game 7:

Shoots 8-27 on his home floor, coming within one shot of being eliminated.

Defining Vince moment:

May 20, 2001 – Game 7 Eastern Conference vs. Philly

Vince quits UNC to make money in the NBA. Vince completes college via correspondence three years later. THE DAY OF GAME 7, VINCE DECIDES TO ATTEND THE GRADUATION CEREMONY. He signs some autographs before the ceremony, shoots the shit, stays at the actual ceremony for TWENTY MINUTES and leaves two hours early.

Game 7: shoots 6 of 18, misses game-winning shot.

Vince doesn’t care about anyone else but Vince. Not about winning, now about his teammates, and not about the fans. That’s why people hate him. For good reason.
