Does no one realize how great a career Vince Carter had as a 3 point shooter?

[Heelmatic]

Were setting attendance records NOW in 2016...He put the team on the map no doubt,people started checking for the raptors but the team wasnt in danger of moving regardless of VC or whoever else was here...This team wasnt going anywhere,so the notion that the team stayed put cuz of Vince and he indirectly contributed to this all star weekend is completel exaggerated BS

I appreciate what he did on the court but i dont have a nostalgic view of it a decade later....

Where did I say he contributed to this all star weekend?

The team had already changed ownership once in the short period before VC, who knows what happens if he doesn't come there and the Raptors continue to struggle and keep missing the playoffs.

You see its the same ignorant folk who connect the second thing you said with the first thing...they were acquired by MLSE the team wasnt going anywhere....

If you take a ton, you're bound to make some

Kidd is also top 5, which is a joke considering he never really had any offensive game. Dude would literally dribble to the basket, get scared to lay it up even if wide open, and pass it to a teammate 18 feet away. Don't even get me started on his actual jumper/mid-range game.

Vince been relegated to spot up shooter duties for years now. It's all he can really do at this point. He can't post. He can't iso. You don't want him setting or rolling off picks. It was frustrating watching him on the Mavs cause all he would do is jack up 3s all day.

Combine the fact that he was a volume scorer earlier in his career when he was an elite player to the last few years where he's literally been a statue on offense hanging out at the 3pt line, and it's not that surprising.

Kidd was petrified to take a layup the last few years of his career

I saw him lay it up against Jeremy Lin, and that's when I knew nikkas were going at Lin to prove he wasn't all that.

Kidd was petrified to take a layup for most of his career.

Vince is not a better 3 point shooter than Pierce... And Pierce is way higher on the all-time list.

vince carter is 39

And to think dudes said he'd be right outta the league once he lost his athleticism.

Kinda like how some people don't realize that Ray Allen wasn't always a spot up shooter

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Dude was terry cloth I know that

 

[The God Poster]

This is true. He's been a better shooter than those 5 for the past 7/8 years. Facts.

when that's all you on the court for those 7/8 yrs you hetter make them. Comparing him to players who have had the responsibility of LEADING teams. When is the last time he was a number one option on a team?

I didn't say he was a better player or better leader than any of those players. Calm down

You missed my whole point

I knew Vince was up there pretty high cause I have actually been keeping track of the 3 records and whatnot. But it shows that he was a good shooter and one who could get his shot at anytime when he was in his prime.
