<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>The Nets are Vince Carter’s team, Nets’ officials will tell you. A quote from him about commitment adorns the wall of the team’s video room, his jersey–along with Devin Harris’ and Yi Jianlian’s–are behind glass in the practice facility’s lobby. But he has never won anything other than an Olympic gold medal. That’s enough to place him at the top of Dime Magazine’s “Loser List”.</div> The Loser List - Vince Carter - - Dime Magazine Great article. So true. Definitely should be considered over players like Stephon Marbury, Tracy First Round McGrady, etc. Dime Magazine is definitely credible. Vince Carter sucks. Hate, hate, hate.
That was a horrible read. Like you said, T-Mac has had as many injuries, and has never gotten out of the first round. And Marbury is Marbury. Vince gets hated on so much.
ouch.... kinda goes against their article last year proclaiming vince is in the hall of fame http://dimemag.com/2007/10/hof-watch-vince-carter/ for those who care, here is an article in defense of vince and the hate he gets. i think its worth a read http://str8hoops.com/2008/02/28/everyone-hates-vince-carter/

Horrible read, Vc gets so much hatred it isn't funny.. I can't complain one bit because since he joined the Nets he has been top class.

Seriously though, people were on the VC bandwagon back the day, but people hate him now.
Not everyone has to be characterized as either loved or hated. There are a bunch of players that fall into that middle ground of insignificant. I'd say that's about where Carter is at this point in his career.
Please re-read the article. This is a list of "losers". Vince Carter is one of them, not no. 1 on the list. Furthermore, Vince hasn't won a damn thing. The "hate" as some of you say is justified. But it really isn't even hate, its reality. Until Vince advances past the second round of the playoffs, and makes it to the Conference Finals or even the Finals, he is nothing but a good player that achieved nothing substantial in his career. To the above poster: to say Vince is irrelevant is also misleading. If the Raptors had Vince Carter now, they would be a championship contender, not a pseudo-"contender" who will probably not make it out of the 1st round again.

How isn't he insignificant? Taking shots at my team really won't change the fact that nobody cares about him and they'll continue to not care until he does something of note.
And would you argue that Tracy McGrady is insignificant? He also did not make an All-Star team last year. To call star players in the league insignificant, with worldwide fanbases no less (and take a look at this message board for evidence of that), is laughable at best. Especially when it comes from a Raptor fan and the star in question is Vince Carter.

He's even off Raptors fans' minds except for the four games we play the Nets, and trust me when I say that means something.

That was what... a year and a half ago? I thought it was fairly obvious that I'm talking about right now.
