is Vince Carter a top 20 SG/SF?

[Originalgangsta317]

No.
but he's had a great career

 

[CP3_da_OG]

Definitely top 10

nikkas forget or just like to hate, but he was much more than a dunker

The squad he had with Toronto was terrible. Even T-Mac said he wish he stayed with Vince

 

[Optimus Prime]

Not sure why you included SF in this because there's easily probably 20 SF's better than Vince. Just keep it to SG...

 

[Reggie]

And Vince could have been the 2nd best ever if he really was dedicated to the game and had that dog in him like MJ and Kobe. But the fact that he averaged between 20 and 27 for a decade has to put him in the top 20 swingmen ever. That speaks to consistency and longevity there.

VC and Pierce were both drafted in 98, you moron.

How does that have anything to do with what I wrote? You compare players in their prime. Not a matchup when they're both fading. That's such a dumb way of judging two players.

Answer is no, not top 20 imo

He might be at the tail end of top ten SGs tho

MJ
Kobe
Bron
Bird
Wade
Ray Allen
Iverson
Drexler
Gervin
McGrady
Sam Jones
West
Durant
Melo
Pierce
Pippin
Dominique
Baylor
Dr J
James Worthy
Havlicek
Rick Barry

a few of those aren't SGs

Thread title said SG/SF tho

 

[ndthentherewasx]

Aside from dunking, what could he do?

Couldn't shoot or post up, only had one meaningful playoff run so to say top 20 all timeat sg/sf.. no.

The guy underachieved.

 

[Miggs]

Why are cats talking about 3s

he wasnt no damn SF

 

[William F. Russell]

Answer is no, not top 20 imo

He might be at the tail end of top ten SGs tho

He ain't top 10 in SGs either

 

[Brozay]

He ain't top 10 in SGs either

He's close, what's your top ten

 

[EA]

The elevation prime Vince used to get on his jump shot was beautiful

Everyone will remember him for his dunking and slashing ability but he had a really smooth jump shot in his Raptors/Nets days.

 

[im not you]

Couldn't shoot

You obviously never watch Vince Carter because he could shoot, get to the rim and create his own shot with the best of shooting guards. LMAO nikkas are getting straight exposed in this thread.. Vince couldn't shoot now??

How does that have anything to do with what I wrote? You compare players in their prime. Not a matchup when they're both fading. That's such a dumb way of judging two players.

Lmao what an idiot you are. They both were out of their primes that series.. That's why I said if you ever thought Vince was better than Pierce, that series put it to bed.

Prime, peak, or whatever, Pierce was better than Carter. Do you really want to debate who was the better player?
