How GOOD Was Vince Carter Actually?

Vince Carter was one of the best wing players of the 2000s, and arguably the most popular player in the world at one point too. How good was he actually though? We all know he was a great dunker, but as an all-around basketball player...how do you view him?

[@jaydenbuitendag]

In my opinion Vince's years with the nets are oftentimes overlooked by fans discussing his overall career. He still had bounce, he still had a few seasons where he averaged about 21-25 points. Though I do think he should have gone to the magic a year before he actually did so he would have at least one final appearance, especially against a prime kobe. That last to second last season with the nets was also Vc's last prime years imo.

[@M1GarandPing]

TheProdigy yup ur right. Carter was still sick on the nets. This video is so right. Once Carter left us we booed him for years. But deep down we loved him so much. That one game where he beat us hitting that game winner for the nets and Jason Kidd jumped on him was so sick. Obviously I was sad we lost. But in a way happy for Carter silencing us lol.

[@M1GarandPing]

Shawn Kemp props for rating Carter. Most people don't realize how good Vince was in his prime. I'm glad he played for us but it may not have been the best for his career. But being our first superstar I don't think anyone would have loved him as much as us. But they did a documentary on the whole drama between him and us and he said he didn't really want to leave but that there was some foolishness happening with management and that's why he acted like that. I wish Carter would return to the raptors before he retires.

Vince Carter was the Toronto Raptors...probably one of the most entertaining players ever in the NBA

[@ianosaurus27]

DublinDapper oh hohoho yeah. I can still remember the newspaper headlines "Carter beats this & that team" then mentioning the Raptors score over the opponent.

[@ChrisSmith-ec6qp]

DublinDapper Vince was quoted as saying he "wasn't really trying." at the end of his time with the Raptors. Not to mention the graduation incident the night before their game seven playoff loss. When you're getting paid millions of dollars to play ball?!?! Total slap in the face to his team mates and the fans. Lost all respect for him right there.

[@aceking894]

Chris Smith his mom made him go to the graduation, she feels VC was a student and graduation is far more important than his job with the Raptors.

[@aceking894]

michael jordan I don't like VC because he is soft and act like a bitch, but I'm not sure he is bad enough to be excluded out of top 100players. AI was at his prime, VC probably can't beat him, but he still took the chance to attend his graduation on game day, due to his mama's order.

[@M0ebius]

I don't see how anybody can EVER do better than jumping over a legit 7-footer in terms of real in-game dunks. Even guys that are physically capable wouldn't ever THINK to attempt that. What makes VC the best isn't just his hops, it's the fact that he'll just go for it.

[@kingtutt880]

Hands down, period. To this day, can't find a better in game, and dunk contest dunker than prime VC. GOAT dunker.

[@jasonu3741]

His knee's were shot after 2001, that man was literally doing 360's night in and night out in NBA games. his career actually became a cautionary tale for all future NBA players, since no one could or has ever dunked like vince did in game and how quickly all that aerial acrobatics and awkward landing destroyed his knees just 6 years into his career. coaches and analytics told players to stop dunking outright and to atleast always hold onto the rim to adjust your landing.

[@MrCarterVince]

Vinsanity was the man back then. I remember the 2009 nets team, he balled out that year. Averaged 21 that year. Should've been an all star. Tons of game winners, tons of big games. I miss the New Jersey Vince

[@MaxaMillion711]

Really enjoyed the video. Nice job. Wanted to chime in on the Nets. The Nets were most definitely NOT considered Finals contenders when VC arrived. They had lost most of that 02/03 Nets squad including Kenyon Martin. Kidd was on his way out, but management got VC from TO and that kind of convinced Kidd to "give it a shot", but I don't remember anyone saying this Nets squad was the favorite. They were a "dark horse" contender at best. In my opinion, Nets VC was the Prime VC. He still had crazy dunks and shots, but he was a smarter player in Jersey. He developed into a leader. His attitude was great, and he gave it his all even when Kidd left town in 08. That was 2005, 2006, and 2007 were the best years of his career that most people seem to gloss over. Its a shame he didn't get All-NBA nods for those years.

[@kenpoed]

Vince had all the skills and talent in the world. His athleticism, a midrange game, shoot the 3, create his own shot, good passer and played decent defence when he wanted to. No doubt, he could have been great but his problem was his mindset. He didn't have the killer instinct of an MJ or Kobe. When his team needed him the most, often times he disappeared and didn't step up. That shot in the playoffs....was the beginning of his downfall. Had it gone in, its a completely different story and Vince would have been more relevant longer.

Rick was playing in the NBA like only 10 seasons and selected to 5 NBA first team, compare to Wilkins 4 First Team and Vince 2 All NBA Team. He avg more than 33 pts twice and Vince never avg more than 27pts. talk about rebound and assist, Rick was better than Wilkins and Vince at both category, and he was better at assist than Elgin. Rick was a scoring champion and lead the league at steal once. dude was great since he was in the ABA and one of the best small forwards in the 70s along side with Dr. J. and no im not joking

I remember browsing google images as a kid with phoneline internet, looking at what Vince was doing as if it was yesterday Again a really good video Andy!! But I hate how you didn't mention some of the games where VC completely DESTROYED the Raptors as a Net, some of those games are so underappreciated considering the pressure and basically an entire country hating on you, 1 game in particular would be his clutch 3pt to tie the game and then catch an alleyoop and dunk it backwards for the gamewinner with 1 sec left on the clock! Or when Jkidd rebounded and threw him the ball for a clutch 3pt gamewinner leaving 0.1 sec on the clock, also against Toronto!! As a huge VC fan those were some huge moments, I can only imagine what VC must've felt like at that time. Just watch those 2 game endings if you haven't, it's a MUST if you consider yourself a bball fan! Also for anyone who wants to see more of oldschool VC, check out MaxaMillion711 channel! Been watching his videos since I was a kid. End of my essay, sorry, I really like VC, he was the player I aspired to be and made me wanna get better at basketball! Nostalgia kicking in ~

6 1/2 years in Toronto and he gets 8 all star appearances?

[@ervinpascua4402]

He is only player that in real game is like he is in videogame lmao

[@shakarussanders9911]

Vince was one of my favorites I loved watching him play!

[@treyjay9560]

DeMar's time with the Raptors was really similar to Vince's. -Both spent the first 5-10 years of their careers with Toronto -Their career high in points in a game with the Raptors is just over 50 -Their highest scoring season was 27+ ppg -Both athletic -Both played shooting guard -Both started in their rookie season -Both had competed in the Slam Dunk Contest (though Vince won) -Both played with someone they're close with -Were never able to make it to the Finals -Both left the Raptors through trades -Won a gold medal at the Olympics -Had legendary dunks in the Olympics (but Vince made his)

[@fvdm2983]

He was Half Amazing! Terrific player > HOF bound in my books.

[@Memeposting]

A True GOAT

[@kurtfernandez5598]

He is still an f ing legend, how good was he......

[@MikeBrown-go1pc]

2 years later and he still played 20 mins in some games last season with the Hawks. Kept himself in really good shape.

[@arnev5177]

Notigang

[@sbk6064]

Vince = Top50 all time and best dunker all time

[@Wangste002]

His buzzer beater against San Antonio after his prime was amazing

[@jimypiha8]

Good and coherent video.

[@skywalker2676]

Shit I didn’t even kno he made it past the second round wit the magic that’s crazy shit who had a better career Vince or tmac

[@AndyHoops]

T-Mac had the better peak seasons, but Carter is still in the league and transitioned into a decent role player in his later years, so I'd say Carter had the better career

[@churchservice2700]

McGrady had a SIGNIFICANTLY MUCH BETTER Prime

[@jrocps447]

Church Service ya correct. mcgrady was an mvp candidate those years where him and kobe were the two best.

[@IaintTrynaGoOutLikeBIGnPAC]

Car is still in the top 10 for 3 points made. Carter was definitely lit

[@anredickerson1535]

Jroc PS3 McGrady didn't come close to winning anything

[@DQ_Senpai]

I'm early let's make a joke Noah's contract

[@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan6687]

Are You Joakim???

[@LilRick96]

It's something about Vinces game that I always loved and studied growing up, that made me like him more than TMac and other great players, and that I consider him one of my GOATS. Agent 0 being my overall favorite player.

[@ericjohnbautista8275]

VC is one of my favourite player in my childhood. He is like a superhero, very iconic. He elevates like nobody did before. Truly half man half amazing. He is future HoF and will remember as the best dunker all time.

[@brenmac100]

Top 5 SG of all time

[@franknice187]

Nah........pump ur brakes homie

[@Tom-eq7eh]

[@javierfermani3606]

Great video, and I agreed every single word you just said

[@boatboystrackclub6528]

Underrated by non NBA fans but overrated by diehards

[@blandman4084]

Explained perfectly

[@D0omC0okie]

Exactly

[@nikosgallery]

Underrated by an NBA fan,

[@Ultimagicarus]

underrated shooter, overrated dunker. :)

[@MegaKPchannel]

So is Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett

[@okcthunder6452]

To bad he wasn't on the raptors when they just won a ring

[@tybney]
