what does every1 think about vince having 20ppg seasons and being the #1 votegetter, and now averaging 25ppg, and having monster games, hitting clutch shots, and yet he has less votes than jermaine o'neal?? this is vince carter we're talking about... y is no one else shocked that he is not in the top 5 in votegetters, or top 10!!

Its not that nobody is shocked its just that it hasnt been brought up yet. Every year there are players that dont get as many votes as they perhaps should.
Take Elton Brand for instance, i havent checked the ballot results yet but i wouldnt be surprised to see Yao starting instead of Brand. Seems ridiculous really doesnt it?
But its based on popularity and maybe Vince isnt as popular as he was last year, remember last year we saw a rejuvenated Vince with a new team playing at a level that he hadnt played at for a few years. He's doing the same this year but maybe the fans moved onto the next fad.
Snaq being in the game (maybe as a starter) is a joke to me personally, not because i dislike him but he has played very little and is having his worst season so far. But like i said its based on popularity not on how well they are playing so dont take it as a knock on Carter's ability.

WAA??? RU CRAZY?? shouldnt have made it last yeaR!!?? im talking about seasons like 2003 and 2004, where he kept getting injured. and um... he wasnt the number one votegetter last year, because all the racist people in china voted for yao ming only (lol)

Well, he may not have been #1 overall last year, but he was still put on the all-star team when he didn't deserve it. He scored 4 points a game some nights and his team refused to play him because of his lack of effort. Carter deserves to be on the team this year and just about every year EXCEPT last year. He didn't pick up his game until right around the all-star break when he was traded to the Nets.

HOW CAN U SAY HE DIDNT PLAY GOOD LAST YEAR??? the only time he played bad was wit the raps which lasted until december, and he said he wasnt given any effort there... right when he gets to new jersey, he wins the player of the month... and he averaged 27.5ppg last season as a net... how can u possibly say he didnt deserve to make the starting lineup last year!?
i know what ur saying about shaq, i'm not a huge fan of him... but he has got a more capable supporting cast his year, and i think he wants wade to take over and support the lil guy. shaq is a good player, impressive footwork, nice touch around the rim, and finishing? well we all know he rocks the rim. yeh he stinks more 6ft away from the hoop, but he positions himself so well and because of his strength he'll get there easy enough. i'm starting to think shaqs more hated than kobe.

That is exactly why he shouldn't have made it last year. If you are an NBA player, you give 100 % all the time. I don't care who you are or if your team sucks or not. Your making millions of dollars to play basketball, and then you give no effort? Some people would PAY to still play basketball, and Vince doesn't even try when he's not on a good team.
Thats the only problem i have with Vince, you dont quit on your team no matter how bad they are.
I read that he thinks Kobe's 81pt game will send a bad message to kids, well sorry Vince but if anyone is sending negative messages to kids its you when you dial it in because you team sucks and even go as far as to tell the opposing team what play your team is gonna run.
Kobe could easily do the same thing this year, the Lakers are probably not far off the Raptors without him. But no, he gives it all every time he is on the court. Call him what you like but nobody could question his heart and commitment, the same can not be said for Carter.

That means he only played good for one month before the all-star game. That is not what I certify as an all-star.
tanjot, i do beleive you are licking carters arse. well done for having so much faith in a guy who, if doesnt like the way things are going, goes on a 'bad run' and gets traded, when he suddenly is rejuvenated and plays like he used to. i still think hes a heck of a player, but he aint much of a man.

first of all, never start a post like that to me ever again.... and second, i know that he is not much of a man, but he is a great player... i have never said that i liked vince as a person because i am a canadian, but no matter what he will always be my favourite player.
