Vince Carter Rumors & News

As many of you know, my favourite Toronto Raptor of all time was Morris Peterson. He wasn't as flashy as Vince Carter, nor as workman-like Charles Oakley. And he didn't play to the crowd the way JYD did. But he provided two essential skills that have traditionally been rare in the NBA, especially in combination. Defence, and three-point shooting. Think of some of the best-known three-point shooters of the last 20 years. Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, Peja Stojakovic, Steph Curry, Mike Miller, Kyle Korver...most of these were indeed dynamic long-range threats. But lock-down de...

It seemed like Vince Carter had a good thing going in Orlando, as he suited up for the third team in his career in 2009. He was averaging 17 points a game and was the team's second option behind Dwight Howard, standing out from a bevy of three point shooting wing players in Orlando. And then, he faltered in a playoff series against the Celtics and Orlando fell out of the playoffs. Vince was traded early on the following season and never really fit into his new team, the Suns. Andytobo's initial reaction summed up what many fans thought It looks like this Vince Carter thing is go...

Dirk Nowitzki refused to go quietly into that Texas summer. He ended the Nuggets' five-game streak and wants to give the Mavs one of their own heading into the sunset. He was superb tonight, connecting on a variety of his patented rainbow jumpers and stepbacks. For some reason, the Nuggets seemed content to sag off of Dirk on more than one possession, when that is the absolute last thing you can do against Dirk. Kosta Koufos, Andre Iguodala, JaVale McGee, Wilson Chandler - it didn't seem to matter who the Nuggets threw at Dirk, he shot over all of them en route to a team co-high 22 ...
