Vince Carter is Still Overrated

The rallying cry in the NBA seems to be “Vince Carter is back!” after he’s scored 39 points or more in 3 of his last 4 games. My question is this: what has Carter ever actually done? We know this: He’s scored a lot of points, won the slam dunk title, and gone absolutely nowhere in the playoffs. In addition, it seems this season that he purposely tanked games in order to be traded. How is this guy a great player?

A few years back he had that phenomenal series against Philly and seemed to be on the verge of ‘The Leap”, but nothing ever came of it. Oh, and they LOST the series against Philly. Since then, he’s acted like an immature prima donna and hasn’t even helped his team win games. Now he’s back playing well for a short stretch, and all of a sudden he’s a superstar again?

So much emphasis is placed on individual stats and highlight reel plays in the public’s perception of NBA players, but at the end of the day, great players win games. No great player would EVER tank a game for any reason, especially for his own selfish motives. (Can you imagine Bird or Jordan doing that?). Until Vince proves himself with some meaningful Wins, he’s still an also-ran in my book.

    Vince Carter is no different than any other nba player that hasn’t won a ring [Amare,AI,Dwade,T-Mac,Lebrone,etc…and they are all considered great players

    What if you are not comfortable with the side-effects of Viagra that occasionally show off and are very much afraid to use the Pfizer manufactured erectile dysfunction drug? With regard to the side-effects of Viagra, it is noteworthy that the medicine indeed yields certain side-effects on an occasional basis. These side-effects are temporary and with the help of adequate care and caution you can easily get rid of them but if a lingering doubt is still present in your mind, it would be better for you to opt for herbal viagra. Gingko biloba, Muira puama and other viagra alternatives are being used consistently used to boost male sexuality since a very long time and it is significant that these products effectively treat male sexual disorders such as erectile dysfunction
