He did actually. This is what he said about Kobe's 81: "The only bad thing about it is that younger kids, whose minds are easily warped, are going to think, 'Ohhh! I am going to go out there and do it instead of (honoring) the team concept first .That is what is missing in the game, guys understanding how to play as a team."

He's saying that young kids trying to emulate that style of play is an unfortunate side effect. Sometimes it's necessary to take over games, but young kids might think it's always ok to try to play that way. He's absolutely correct
<div class="quote_poster">Rimwrecker Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I'd have to agree and say 9-20 from 3PT is alright.</div> While I agree in that making 9 of 20 three's is a pretty decent performance, he probally shouldnt have taken 20 three's which I think is where the problem may lie for Nets fans.
He only took that many because of the record, they had the game in hand and once he started missing he told mark jackson he was done shooting them lol.
If Carter was trying to break some records, he only needed 4 more 3s to beat the highest number of 3 point FGs made in nba history. Currently Kobe and Donyell Marshall hold the record at 12 3pt FGs made. I wonder if we would be hearing different things if Carter made 13 3 pters instead of 9.
