Vince Carter Discussion; Do we Retire his number? Do we want him back?

[Jamiecballer]

an ******* star?
how many girls has VC raped? How many wives has he beaten? Started shootings in a stripclub?

Just saying..
you guys will realize one day that every human is imperfect and will make mistakes, especialy when young. Vince is the type of human being you should embrace, he actually has good intentions in his life unlike 90% of NBA players. He doenst rape wome he doenst beat his wife yet he's set out to be the worst human being by you guys.

He has charity events in Orlando, Dallas, and Toronto still. He has basketball camps for kids. He hosts dinners for the president..

i agree with pretty much everything you are saying. truth is he could have gone on to run an orphanage and people in here would never forgive.

We haven't see much of Lowry yet (and I've seen even less) but he is the anti-Carter.

Is he? He publicly attacked his teams management and coach, demanded they not resign Dragic, publicly stated it was either him or the coach that had to go, pouted on the sidelines, refused to go into a timeout and listen to coach and stormed away from the coach, and demanded a trade at the end of the season.

Just because he didn't do it to the Raps organization (yet) doesn't mean he is the anti-Carter. The Raps traded for and gave Antonio Davis a chance back here, it was only a short time, but I think he was just as much if not more of a prick to the team and city.

I don't think the Raps should go out of their way to get him but if the opportunity is there I think refusing because of bitterness/pride would be more harmful to the teams image then giving him a chance.

Actually with his situation in Houston, he acted alot like VC at the end of his tenure with Toronto..

Houston was Toronto, and we are the Nets. (Note how we traded a 1st and Gary Forbes to Houston) (And the Nets traded us Eric/Aaron Williams and a 1st i believe* Mourning was part of the trade, but he refused to come here.

I don't know much about Lowry's history but from Lowry's short tenure as a Rap I already have more respect for him. The way he battles and plays tough going for rebounds with 7footers trying to initiate contact not avoid it. The guy does it all... I also believe Lowry comes from a different environment from Philly which makes him hungry to win and fight for everything that he gets. I don't think he'd ever fake an injury, tip off another team with his teams play call and definitely wouldn't play like a ***** like VC. So please don't compare the two players. They're polar opposites in terms of character.

OK you have a point there. I was only thinking that Lowry doesn't seem to be a wuss like Vince. I know he gets injured but they appear at least to be real and there is no acting involved.

PURE ignorance.

Not really. In fact there doesn't seem to be any ignorance at all there.

[ThuglifeJ]

Lowry does similiar tactics during the end of his tenure with the Rockets and you guys laugh it off and say ''Welll still I respect him more". Why? for what reason? because it wasn't to Toronto? Oh but he "plays hard hustles for rebounds against 7 footers!!". So when VC was first with Toronto his rookie season he didn't do any of this? Get a better sample size before you start having all of Lowry's back.

you guys are such idiots

You have made a couple decent points in here but it gets completely lost when its sandwiched between dozens of comments like this and the complete ignorance comment.

Thank you.

At the first sign of insults most people stop reading. So why bother? Besides it's against the rules and should get a warning/infraction.

I'm not married to defending Lowry. My point was exclusively about Vince's wimpiness. And it was a response to someone else's comment about Lowry. Let's get back on topic.
