How Do U Put Tmac And Kobe Over Vince In The 01 Season Vince's Stats Were Better Than Both Of Em Thats When Everyone Though Vince Was Gunna B Like The Best
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Avery:</div><div class="quote_post"> Vince Carter?

He actually had a pretty good season before coming down with injuries. But I agree, he definitly wasn't a top 5 player in that year. For 2001 however, I would put him 4th, behind Shaq, AI and Duncan
For the people that started from 1997 on: Where were guys like David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning? Although they were certainly not young at the time, I'm pretty sure at least one of them was a top 5 player in 97, 98, and even 99.
Seriously though, in 2000 vince was in the top 5 along with iverson, shaq, duncan and garnett. anyone remember the incredible play off performances? and chris webber was defiantely in the top 5 in 2001, he was considered a top contender for mvp.

i personally think this thread is pretty pointless because everybody's still gonna judge the players by how their impression of them now ffor most of it. plus wats the point of doing 2002-2004, everybody noes its the same 5 players.i think it shud be every 5 years instead off every year

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">3) Michael Ray Richardson </div> He wasn't top 5 within those years, probably in 1 or 2 of them but in some he barely averaged past 15 ppg. I still remember when peeps would say that he would have ended up better than Magic.
