Career-High 51-PT Night For Vinsanity |

[@john-tobeymaguirecena]

Carter is my personal Favorite NBA Player of All-time. I think it’s heavily due to growing up in Jersey with the Nets & watching Kidd, Carter & Jefferson light up the stadium, Live... Vince used to just amaze me he was like a superhero to me as a kid... not to mention the “VC3” chants erupting throughout the game

[@blackoutgstar9949]

yeah it hurt bad when he left toronto for basically nothing

[@ธีรวัฒน์เงินคง]

Vince Carter is my legendary idol and forever.

[@SuperDave30]

This when NBA was awesome in the early 2000’s, Vince Carter aka “VIN sanity” and Mr. Air Canada” those were the good old days!

[@MrJadeHappy]

You people know nothing at all, as of right now .00004% of the population has died from the virus, yet it has impacted 90% of our daily lives, as if .00004% alcohol is enough to get you drunk! And now the world is investing $17,000,000,000,000 into the medical research, that's enough money for agriculture to ensure no child goes hungry, but nope, that means all stock brokers who have moved money from oil to vaccines will continue to get wealthier and pretty soon all babies will have to undergo the vaccine and no one can travel from country to country without a DNA scan at the airports. Repent for the kingdom of Heaven has already come.

[@Stocksinho]

no this was when you were young and passıoante with nba more then today. nba is still awesome, way more then back then in some ways.

I saw a lot of bricks. Defense was nice, McGrady was athletic. But yea, not a lot of great shooters.

51:06 never see that before! Every time I watch a classic game I see 1 crazy memorable thing like that

[@ShadomanG]

My childhood! I was 10 years old-My hometown Suns w/legends in Penny & Jason Kidd. Love my Suns but was a BIG fan of Vin-Sanity as well! Classic uniforms & on NBC. RIP Cliff Robinson 🙏

[@walterlv01]

This was almost like a "Made for TV" game - it wasn't originally scheduled to even be televised in the US but after "Vinsanity" took the league by storm the league adjusted their schedule and added additional TV slots to get Toronto on, and this was the first of several. And lo and behold Carter scores 51 in his first national TV appearance with a bunch of highlight reel plays.

[@blackoutgstar9949]

i remember how mad all the american sports news channels were when vinsanity started saying he's a waste of talent being in toronto and that he should play for an american team

[@sports3117]

This was the Vinsanity I remembered as a kid

[@FBro_Bbokariheej]

Carter is my all-time favorite player I think cause he inspired me to get better at dunking and made me want to be a great free throw shooter and made my favorite team the raptors it will never change

[@LarrySwishamane]

This was a classic game! iWas a suns fanatic cause Penny’s my idol. But to watch him & Vince trade buckets, in his NBC a debut. e p I c!

[@sorrexboubert2107]

do you know who the number 14 of the raptors is? he seems incredibly small

[@RALF0691]

I hope Vince returns for another year because this COVID shit is not the way anyone wants to go out. It'll be dope if the Raptors can somehow figure out a way to sign Vince to a one day contract for their last regular season game next season and let his last game be with the Raptors in Toronto. Let Vince play with Atlanta for the season and the two teams can come up with a way to let his last game be with the Raptors.

[@B_Proctor]

vince apparently said this is his last season, whether it starts up again or not. i definitely understand, he’s 43 right now, and he deserves to finally get his rest. however i agree, it would be cool if he would.

[@panthajah]

I'm saying that it's a shame that no contender is making room on their roster for Vince, if it's Rosterspot 10-15, doesn't matter. Last years finals were between the team that drafted him(GS)and he's mostly known for(Raptors).At 43 and already 3 months Vince is 22 years in the league and has no finals appearance. Probably the only player at least 41 years old in league history that never played the finals. I'm talking to you @Bucks,@Lakers,@Clippers,@Raptors,@Celtics @Nets probably when KD is back or @Warriors with Curry,Klay,Wiggins,Draymond healthy. A player that loves the game so much that he sticks around and keeps his body and mind in shape since 1998 as a guard(not like Parish,Willis,Abdul-Jabbar who all were big men in this league) in the NBA and all those high school&college hoops time... I simply wish him to experience the Finals , even if it 's only on the bench. C'mon NBA executives, make sth.work regarding this topic!

[@natsukisubaru3179]

If only he signed with the raptors last year

[@benmurawski]

He's already retired.

[@dawearhouse]

I'm gonna count this as (sorta) Prime Penny Hardaway. We moving in the right direction NBA. 96 Magic would be a godsend

Vince Carter is my favorite player growing up I read a book about his life school I've must been 7 or 8 years old but I immediately always been a fan since the dunk contests playing in with magic,nets,other teams him played his last year here in 2020 wow but I hope he can have a nice send off to retirement hope I get Vince Carter raptors jersey cus i love him man tho I'm a bucks fan but I'm a Vince Carter forever

[@SuperStrik9]

As a lifelong Raps and VC fan this game happened on my 19th birthday and was a great birthday gift.

[@TooIrrelevant]

It’s crazy how Vince is 6th all time in threes and is known as a dunker.

While this game bay be Vinsanity's highest-ever scoring NBA game in his whole career, it's also a really epic battle: Muggsy Bogues, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady vs Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, and Shawn Marion.

TMac, Carmelo Anthony, would wear do rags and make Hip Hop videos where they didn't represent the NBA as familial but instead as a front operation for Hip Hop crews and black and brown street organizations to gain exposure and attract recruitment and allegiance to brands outside of the NBA ring of trade. America, the world, and the NBA have a black freakout or thug freakout once every five years predating 99-2000. The 70's were almost lights out. The Fab Five and even the square Michael Jordan were changing fashion to the complex versatility we now experience today. And when Jordan was breaking the NBA laws of signature shoes instead of uniform team sneakers, black socks instead of white ones, longer shorts, earrings as 70s and 80s kids were experiencing with etc. Expression has been existent since Mikan and the league struggles with itself between eras

[@knicks2030]

Nobody thought it was funny when they were speculating about McGrady possibly leaving and they mention he wants to be the #1 option, he just bought a house in Orlando, his family is in Orlando...it was pretty obvious he was not going to stay! Also if the magic's superteam of McGrady, Hill, and Duncan came together that would have been a better team than Toronto and he would have been closer to home. I never really understood why he did leave the Raptors, I think it makes a lot of sense when you look at the whole picture.

[@joshromero-burgan9860]

Seeing this as a Vince fan just makes me so sad him and tmac split. Even kobe said right before his death on espn he thinks if tmac stayed they win at least 2 rings and even beat him and his lakers a time or two on the finals. People don't realize how GOOD vince and tmac were from 99 to 03 . That's a long enough window to add role players around them and go for a title they could have done it. Tmac to this day says his. Biggest regret was leaving for the spotlight when noe he knows had he stayed his career would have ended up being even better

[@rodrigodevera2056]

Vince Carter Was The Member Before Of The Toronto Raptors.

[@kawaiiafangirl]

This Raptors squad is one of those "could have been great" teams. Aside from Vince and T-Mac, they had a solid trio of big men in Antonio Davis, Charles Oakley, and good backup in Kevin Willis. Doug Christie was one of the best perimeter defenders during his time, and Dell Curry is a great shooter off the bench. One weak point was that they don't have a traditional point guard- McGrady and Christie had ball-handling duties but were wing players. In hindsight, it may have been good that McGrady left Toronto bc he never would have been the great player that he is today. Although in my mind he would've been a great Pippen to Carter's MJ (T-Mac averaged 6.5 APG one season as a Rocket), he never would be considered one of the best players of the first half of the 2000s had he stayed in Toronto.
