Not a clutch player? Most 3 pts winning buzzer-beaters in NBA history with 5.

Vince Carter was known as Vinsanity, Air Canada, Half-Man/Half-Amazing, which he career spanned to playing in the NBA for 22 seasons. He primarily played as a shooting guard, but he was versatile enough to contribute as a small forward and even a power forward at times. He won a Slam Dunk Content during his time at the All-Star Game. He was a 8-time NBA All-Star and Rookie of the Year. He also was known as his electrifying dunks, clutch performances, and longevity in the league left an indelible mark on basketball history. Whether he was soaring through the air or hitting crucial shots, Vince was a true entertainer and a fan favorite. His legacy remains an ironic figure in the world of basketball.🏀🏀🏀🏀

Does he seem happy to you these days, or any days as a matter of fact besides the days he won the championships? Tough to judge just from the videos on YT and medias as such.

I do not agree with your opinions that Vince Carter didn't care about basketball, training hard enough, or his Toronto team. Those are just bogus rumors. He's made it clear time and time again that he loves Toronto, and he would not disrespect the game of basketball, because the game has been so good to him. His own words. Go watch interviews of him. He is a true blue guy. I'm a Knicks fan, but I'm actually a huge fan of him too. It hurts that you actually think these things about him. Even most Raptors fans have forgiven him by now, as you've mentioned. 😑🥺

[@legend._]

Finally back to nba content

[@stevemichael652]

I’ve been saying this since two seasons into his NJN run, Carter had potential to be a better player than Jordan but Carter stopped Carter from achieving that. Vince Carter is probably the most athletic talent to ever play on the hardwood , he was capable of doing what he did, with no discipline or drive to win. The only thing that separated him from MJ or even Kobe, was the will to win and the competitive instinct. What’s actually scary to think about, is thru out Carters entire career, he was playing on 50%. Can you imagine if he possessed Jordan’s desire to actually win?

[@bastadimasta]

Vince was the perfect dunker in the way he ran, his jumping power, his body balance in the air, the size of his palms, the swing of his arms, the trajectory of the ball, and his post-landing behavior.

[@eladcohanim4687]

Well.. that's a bunch of superficial opinions backed by some ill advised quotes and professional editing. First of all, Vince suffered early from one of the worst injuries a basketball player can suffer. Second of all, Vince was super clutch through out his entire career.. Having one of the best records for winning shots, some of which in crucial games, and some even late in his career. Third of all, Vince was much more than just a great drunker, but also an outstanding teammate and a human being off court, a great all around player and certainly was more exciting than LeBron ever be. The fact that this movie and like of which are still running, solely point on exciting he was to watch and how many NBA fans still miss him and other stars from his generation. No other player since can blow your mind like he did almost daily.

The fact that he turned around his career near the end and became the consummate teammate and professional really saved his legacy. He's beloved now, but that wasn't always the case.
