Agreed, he never had a championship contender team in his prime (09 Orlando he was slightly passed) but it does not make up for his perceived lack of effort at times and his game never being refined once he got older.

Yup.You gotta be a complete fukking idiot to.hate on vince like this
Since pierce was drafted the Celtics never placed higher than 3rd place and thats even.with Antoine Walker.
It wasnt until he got Garnett.and Allen that he started winning. So much for a winner.
Vince's teams up until 2008 had considerbly better records than Pierces teams
People are using a lot of revision now to say otherwise but back from 2000-2006, Vince was seen as the better player.
If Chris Mullin is the b-ball HOF, Vince Carter needs to be there too.
His impact on the NBA in those first four years especially was unreal, he helped bring back something that felt like it was lost in the league (the wild high-flying dunks), and he obviously has stats to back him up.
I mean, being one of the best the league has ever seen at a particular skill of the game (dunking) is worth getting into the HOF...because that's what it's really about. Or what it should be about, at least.

Vince Carter had better teammates, dumbass. Give Pierce Kidd and RJ, and that team is going to work.

Pierce with Kidd and RJ is not going to the finals. Their not beating the Pistons or the Heat teams back then.
