    3 years ago vince was everyones fav baller (almost everyones at least) he was hyped and talked about and celebrated endlessly, a couple of injured seasons and now hes hated on by everyone, called overrated, weak hearted and a one dimensional player

    kinda pisses me off...vince was the man, and now everyone hates on him...whats everyones opinion bout this? discuss...

    personally, i still love him, and i think we gonna see some vince with avengence this season

    i like vince, and it is stupid people hate him because hes injured but if he is healthy next season, and he does average 25ppg, and if he does tear up the dunk competition, watch all these people start loving him.

    I don't blame people for hating him though, it pisses me off hes injured.

    i never liked VC all that much. i dont hate him either. i do think he's overrated though. yea, he's injured. if he's injured, people should stop raving about him until he can actually play 100%

    i am one of those people. what pisses me off about vince is his lack of responsibility. this guy blamed his teammates and coach for his struggles. he blamed wilkens for not motivating him. come on vince, you make millions of dollars, you get paid to play the game you love, you have thousands of fans, your job is to win, what more motivation do you need? he also hasn't dedicated himself to working out and training his body so he won't get these same injuries. this is why i'm mad at vince.

    as a sports fan it's just frustrating watching this guy waste his talent.

    exactly...since when does an injury = overrated?

    his first few seasons he was dunking on everyone and throwin down hard, thats why he became everyones fav player...being an nba favorite doesnt mean your overrated either

    How can you waste talent averaginf 28 ppg, nearly 6 rpg and 4 apg?? That sounds like an excellent use of talent to me.

    I just dont understand why Vince Carter is the main target, while there are players like Grant Hill, Antonio McDyess that are injured. Michael Jordan was injured...Another thing, how can he be the most overated athlete if he's the most athletic by far. :roll:

    Another thing, you guys are saying he doesnt care anymore, he blames the coaches, he slacks off, are you in the locker room to notice this? I didnt think so...

    there's plenty of guys out there who have athleticism like him. they just dont use it and it all goes to waste. VC does use his athletisicm, but not as much as he could. and yea, Jordan was injured that one season, but no one's gonna target him. he's JORDAN. played through the flu w/ an amazing game. no ones gonna target him
