MSG TO THE MODS: Please don't move this to the "Official Vince Carter Thread". VC#15 and I would like it to be a solitary topic so that it would be out there for everyone to see instead of in that thread where no one can see it. When the topic gets dead, then you can move it Thanks! http://slamonline.com/magazine/features/Vince88/ <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As far as the aftermath of his trade, Carter makes efforts to underscore the fact that he does not have any real beef with Toronto. ?[The media] is rough in Toronto. They never rattled me, though,? he begins. ?I miss everything about Toronto, but....</div> And if you still need convincing of what VC did for Toronto, take a look at this video. It's a tearjerker for Raptors fans..so have some tissues ready. lol http://home.uos.ac.kr/~injuni/vcvid_03.wmv Comments?

I hope Vince Carter doesn't get booed. I admit I was really ticked off at his lack of playing this year but he has done a lot for Toronto as a city and as a team. Everytime my peers bash VC, I just remember how much pride I had in watchign him in the 2001 playoffs and I remember that series against Philly uniting Toronto as one, it was something different, the feeling was just great. So for every bad day he's had from 2002-2004, I think his moments from 1999-2001 overshadow them. Atleast to me, they do. I will not be at the game, but he still has my respect and he will forever remain one of my favourite players. I will be cheering for him on Friday and I'm sure most people at the ACC will too. I still anticipate some mixed reactions but I really hope the cheers overshadow the boos. Had it not been for Vince Carter, there would be a major chance we'd be somewhere else and you guys wouldn't even be talking about his legacy in Toronto. I'm grateful for him as a basketball player and thank him for all the memories he provided in Toronto.

The noise'll even be louder than when T-Mac plays here, book it.
it's a gaurantee...cant wait till friday!!! cant get till he gets injured in jersey for the first time and then loses focus!!!
Purple Fever: I didn't see that. lol. but no of course not. i just think everyone should see this video.
imagine if vince got injured (he's just a jumpers knee away) at the ACC? and of course that would take them out of playoff contention.
The video is really good After seeing the video, I miss those days when vince proudly played for us. He still looks wierd to me in a Nets jersey. Out of all my friends, I think that I'm going to be the only one routing for Vince on Friday.
The new Slam article helped get rid of my resentment for VC. I think I've made amends with what he did, and hope that he can have a good career. He did too much for this city and team. Still wanna beat the Nets tho.
im going to the game, and would cheer for vince, but fear getting my ass kicked by some crazy vince haters or puckheads
I wish I were going, I can imagine how emotional and intense the fans will be at the game. Personally I would boo Vince, even though I haven't booed any player before. I can't believe any player would be so disrespectful to his teammates and to fans as to slack off so badly and to get traded in such a sleazy way.
I Cant Wait Wen Carter Goes Back To Toronto And Drop 50 On The Raps And Shutting Up The Haters Who Will Boo Carter!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Tesh15:</div><div class="quote_post">I Cant Wait Wen Carter Goes Back To Toronto And Drop 50 On The Raps And Shutting Up The Haters Who Will Boo Carter!</div> wouldn't that be refreshing? kidding aside,i thnk he'd be booed but i hope that it won't affect his game...It's like a no bearing game for the Raps neweiz and the Nets are fighting for a playoff spot...
