Two words: Shut upHave you honestly never seen this happen before? I've seen Bruce Bowen, Rip Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, and Gary Payton do this before. And maybe the Vince Carter flop was obvious, and pathetic, but at the same time, in NBA games you have 7'0 centers trying to draw blocking fouls against 6'2 PGs, and falling over as soon as they are nicked by so much as a bicep. It's jsut as pathetic, and it's the way the NBA has become. If this one play makes everyone look badly at Vince Carter, look at anyone today in the NBA
Yea this thread is sort of rediculous in my opinion...yea i saw..vc didnt get touched on the play but that nigga is doing what ever he can to win..its the playoffs baby...and players like AI or Gary Payton wont have a thread on this cuz they flop on a daily basis...i think this thread was created because its rare to see a player like vince make an action like he did..my opinion..get over it..the play is done and vince probably knows that what his flop was way out of line.
Exactly, it's just under the microscope cus it was Vince Carter. And it's kinda funny how most ppl bitching about it are fans of teams who are not even in the postseason
and Welcometothejungle, if paul pierce had made a flop like that, i dont think you would have even bothered making a thread for it...and if a thread was created you would be all for his actions....

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>You never know...could happen in the future..</div>Well...it's never really happened before to the extent of Carter's, Pierce did get some of his teeth knocked out in a Suns game a few years back and sat out for 10 minutes, got cleaned up and came back into the game. I don't think you'll see Pierce flopping like Vince anytime in the near future
It's kinda funny that there's a thread about this and everybody has an opinion. But let's say I make a thread about some or all of the followinga)He's been lights out, 4th in playoff scoring at almost 30 ppgb)He's been playing good defense all seriesc)He's getting his teammates involved, averagaing over 5 apg d)He only has 5 turnoversI bet none of the haters would have anything to say about that

Everyone knows Vince can play.
