healthy Penny and Grant Hill high likely would be in the same phrase, even though they clearly were more team first oriented players and a bit less natural when it comes to wide range.
You just don't see guys move with this much swag, confidence and finesse to their game anymore the way Vinsanity used to on a nightly basis. The cherry on top was that he was so fundamentally sound as well. Such a awesome player at his peak, his game would've been so much fun to watch in today's era, especially given the spacing and the league's desire for another Alpha to represent what basketball is at it's most enjoyable. What a player.
@@brenttenorio9265ja has absolutely zero Jordan in him. Like not even an ounce😂ja is a heliocentric player who is a crafty creator and playmaker with pretty weak shooting from anywhere other than the rim. Now please explain how he has some Jordan in him? Cuz he jumps high? There’s a lot of palyer in nba history who jumped high😂
One of my favorite players and shooting guards. Underappreciated in many ways. Greatest dunker but also a great shooter as well. I wish he had more playoff success. Too talented in his prime
Look how every single shot, players are boxing out and vying for the rebound. What a time to be a fan. Now it’s just a 3-pt shooting contest and players are just laughing to the bank.
On the basis of what he showed the world during his time at the Raptors and Nets, he must be considerd as one of the most spectaculair players ever. Apart from treating every game like it was the Dunk Contest this guy was just the complete package.
I’ve been telling people that Nets VC was PRIME VC! I’m a Knicks fan from Brooklyn but I moved to Jersey as a teen. And since the Knicks were garbage at the time I would often watch Nets games(and cuz Vince is one of my favorite players). When Vince got traded to NJ he was 27 and he may have been a lil less athletic and a lil less explosive than his Toronto version but this version of Vince was way more polished of a player. He still had enough athleticism and first step but he became a better shooter and passer as a Net and just an overall smarter player. Those first 2-3 years with the Nets were him at his peak. All they needed was a good low post scorer and they could have won a championship. They had the best wing/backcourt combo in the league with Kidd as the point and Vince and RJ on the wings. If you put that team in the league today they’d be a terror!
One of the most athletically gifted humans to ever play in the NBA. Makes everything look effortless. Might not have had the best career record but certainly one of the most entertaining and talented players I’ve watched.
@@SuperHiFiGaming Im from Toronto although ppl from toronto disliked what about the rest of fans? Was Toronto such a big market at that time to sway public opinon on vince?
@ManniLive I think public perception was affected by all the hit pieces, so outlets didn't wanna touch it until he got a chance at a redemption arc in Orlando
As such a big fan I am on Vince Carter, I can truly say you are the GOAT when it comes to putting his work out there with great quality and production. Love that Vince himself acknowledges and appreciates you, because you deserve it. I've been watching for YEARS now. Keep it going 💯
If only if Vince Carter had da mentality Kobe did he would’ve been top 5 of all time there was literally nothing Vince Carter couldn’t do he just didn’t set his mind to be da best 💯he was just content on his nickname being half man half amazing when in reality he should’ve been Micheal Jordan with a consistent 3 pointer he is da biggest underachiever ever because he had so much god gifted talent 💯
Nets VC is prime VC. Still super athletic, night-in night-out highlight reels after highlight reels, crazy dunks, acrobatic layups, best alley-oop connection duo of all time with Jason Kidd, super clutch, an offensive prowess, you name it. I wish that Nets team won a chip or made it to the Finals. They have to retire his jersey in Toronto or Brooklyn.
100% correct. The 06 and 07 Nets were good enough to win a first round series, but needed more pieces to make the next step. having VC as your only offensive option isn't enough. Needed more firepower. Needed more big men and a better defense.
Newer fans only know Vince for his dunks but not his prime years when he was a deadly shooter back in the day and shoot way beyond the arc way before Steph Curry
“Did you see VEE CEE!!!” Epic games at the Meadowlands that year. Straight hooper. Dude can get hot especially, coming down court & pulling up those momentum treys.
Yo, thanks for finally dropping this one you the 🐐 . I know a lot of us have asked for it since that 00-01 Vince tape you made 🔥……still waiting on 06-07 Melo 😏
I definitely appreciate his talent and longevity, but the infamous way Vince Carter quit on the Raptors took a lot of the shine off his game. Those Kidd-led Nets teams never clicked like Nash's Suns, and really only had success by default, because the East was historically weak (and the West loaded) in that era.
People saying Anthony Edwards plays like Jordan. Yeah they’re similar, but Edwards really plays like Vince Carter. Compare their highlights and it’s strikingly similar
honestly I've always thought that VC for a brief stint, like 2002-04, leaving aside some injuries he had, didn't play the level he could. Essentially cause he wanted to be traded.
This is incorrect. VC has 22 years … I’ll say it again: twenty two years! Of showing what kind of player he is. He loves the game and always wants to play. The narrative that he “doesn’t want it” was made up by the media and disgruntled / jealous players. And don’t discount his injuries. They were major injuries. February 02 VC has a nasty knee injury. Rushed back to help his team. Injured it more. Shut down for the season. Rehabbed. Beginning of 03 season he injured it again. Out for a while. Was ridiculed by the media. His own fan base made fun of him for being “soft”. Came back, showed flashes. Injured his ankle. Rehabbed again. 04 he was mostly healthy. Had a couple of injuries. But for the most part he was out there but his team was trash. Some nights he was the ONLY player to score in double figures on his team. So the summer of 04, after the GM wasted their draft pick on a garbage player, he demanded a trade. He has a handful of good games in Nov and Dec 04. But the management was sick of VC. They took away his mom’s parking pass for home games. The media was roasting him nightly. And some nights he was benched the 4th quarter. Finally he was traded and got back to just hooping and for the first time in his career he had an all star caliber player alongside him in Kidd. And look what happened, he immediately had his best individual season. Those 2 years of injuries robbed VC of his athletic prime.
Next to Carmelo Anthony’s jump shot, damn, VC’s jump is right there.. So gorgeous. I honestly don’t know who else in the league has a jump shot as beautiful as these guys. Sorry, personal opinion. Kobe is right there too. But VC just seems so laid back with his shot.. Clearly shows that he could’ve been a top 10 player if he put more effort.. You know?.. Fav players in order… 1) Carmelo Anthony 2) Vince Carter 3) Kobe Bryant 4) Stephen Curry 5) Lebron James. Sorry, I’m a 30yrs old. Never seen MJ in his prime so I can’t say.. This is my personal choice of players that had that “AW” factor to me.
Vinsanity became a villain after he left Raptors. They will never like Vince. He ruined his Raptor legacy by orchestrating his trade to Nets. Out of world talent but no heart and no work ethic like other legends Jordan or Kobe
After his dunk contest season and final buzzer missed jumper there was no new narrative for VC besided the one that he never gonna reach the insane hype around him again.
The NBA medias narrative post 2001 was 1) hes only a dunker 2) he should be compared to Kobe and Jordan and if he doesn’t live up to them, hes trash 3) he shouldn’t take jumpers 4) he’s always injured
He was really one of the most complete offensive players of all-time.
Iverson - Carter - Kobe - McGrady just had a different flow.
It just looks so effortless.

Yup and Paul Pierce took a poop on all of them just like he did in the ‘08 Finals.
Vince Carter holds the record for the longest NBA career, having played 22 seasons in the league.

Nets VC is the true Prime VC.. Toronto Vince is more athletic, but Nets VC is more polished with some more athletic ability
If you ask me prime Vince is the first decade of his career.
Good player.
as a raptors fan ... i totally agree. something about nj carter .... he was a true definition of a SWING MAN! GODDAMN!!
28:48 crazy athleticism smh Between him & Mj none compares 🙌🏾👀👀👀
That thumbnail was from the game against the Knicks and was the only time Vince wore the gray alternates as a Net. 🔥🔥🔥

Carter and Kidd should have had at least 1 finals appearance
Their era was dominated by big men. If you didn’t have good big men you weren’t winning for the most part. Not like today.
I think 2005 Vince carter is the best version of him. What I dont understand is why he was so underrated
Media backlash mainly. Especially north of the border

That 360 Lay Up!! 😮 The most exciting and explosive in the history of NBA.
This intro is fire! The best I’ve seen from this channel so far. 🔥🔥
To quote Eddie Murphy- "Now that's a fire"!
“Did you see VEE CEE!!!” Epic games at the Meadowlands that year. Straight hooper. Dude can get hot especially, coming down court & pulling up those momentum treys.
Put Vince on the Lakers with Shaq or spurs with Duncan the outcome would be very different
The playoff series in 2000 between the sixers and raptors was a thing of beauty
Vince was unstoppable he was was the only person in his own way. He couldve averaged 35 a game easily
Yo, thanks for finally dropping this one you the 🐐 . I know a lot of us have asked for it since that 00-01 Vince tape you made 🔥……still waiting on 06-07 Melo 😏
If Nets had a decent center they could have won a championship during this time but they had Jason Collins who was TERRIBLE.
Incredible as a star AND later as a role player

it's a crime that he didn't get listed into the NBA 75 list back in 2021... Including McGrady, Tony Parker, and Dwight Howard.
Agreed. If Melo, Dame, Reggie, Dominique get it without having playoff success. Why not VC?
