Players for the game will be announced throughout the summer. Carter said invitations have already been sent to a number of high-profile NBA players.</div> Post your opinions about Vince's Charity all star game here. Personally, I think this is great, he exposes himself to the public as a good person and the fans always love to see their star.
Its a great thing. Anytime a player does something for the community, especially nowadays, is a good sign.
Shawn Marion better not be participating, nor should anybody else that would take the spotlight away from Vince during the gmae.
u know all charity games held with the exception of vince's are rarely soldout. i hope vince's intentions are good and most of the money raised goes to the right charities. the only probelm i have with vince is that he uses all his charitable work as a photo op.

Anyways the most important thing is that the charities get the money they sorely need right?

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chungster:</div><div class="quote_post">Shawn Marion better not be participating, nor should anybody else that would take the spotlight away from Vince during the gmae.</div> Hey I like Vince but I like Marion maybe just as much, the guy is sick, people can make fun of his shot all they want, it still goes in. I'm hoping he can get, Marion, Redd, Maggette, Wade, Arenas, Shammond Williams (he's always cool), Arenas (he's not really high profile), Baron Davis (ahh too many PG's), Amare Stoudamire, and whoever else He'll probably have Alvin (sick streetball moves), Rose and Bosh there too, just to have guys on the team.
i went to last years game, and would LOVE to see the matrix back. who gives a flying fark about the spotlight. thats the most insanely retarded thing iv ever heard...i go to be entertained and feel as though i got my moneys worth, not to see "vince carter have the spotlight". vince will and always does throw down some sick dunks, and put on a good show. it was awesome to see matrix drain everything and dunk all over the place...i hope matrix is there this year, and someone else who has the same kind of game he had the charity that vince gives to has said that he's given them over 400,000$ since the inception of the VC CASG, there is no scam, his intentions are legit. cant wait for this years game, im goin for sure :thumbsup:

Vince should be the spotlight of his own event. It's common sense. People will say the 2001 and 2002 charity game were better than the 2003 charity game because of Vince's involvement in the '01 and 02' game compared to last year's. The only way you'll get your money's worth is through Vince.
disagree totally...as i said, vince wont have the spotlight stolen from him because he gets on the mic, hosts the event, gets involved with the halftime show, and always throws down some sick dunks by your logic, the game should include only players that are of a lower calibre then vince, soely for the purpose of allowing vince to have the best game out of everyone. sorry, but i think thats completely insane. ill feel like i got my moneys worth, if a slew of all-stars turn out, and every player has a better game then vince. if vince throws down 5 or 6 sick dunks and alley-oops, then im happy. id MUCH rather see, pierce, baron, matrix, amare, k-mart...etc players like that, and have ALL of them have a bigger game then vince, then see, shammond williams, stromile swift, and some of the other guys who arent even close to all-stars. as someone who goes to several raps games during the season, i get to see vince have the spotlight on pretty much EVERY home game
I see that you like tha Matrix to dj_premium_plus, my greatest wish that could never ever happen would be for us to trade Rose to the Suns for Marion Doesn't matter what happens Carter will get the spotlight, I want to be entertained and I want to see All-Stars, especially Marion. It's all good, if VC gets stars he'll get even more spotlight than if he gets Shammond, Stro-Show, and some other lesser talents.
Didn't Shawn Marion have like 62 points last game? I hope Vince can bring some bigger names to this years game, I remember last year when Dan Langhi played in it, I guess he was a replacement for someone but that was awful. I'd like to see Shammond return to this years game, and I'd like to see Stromile Swift back, the man can fly. Jalen Rose had one in Chicago last year, maybe he can get some bigger name players to come to this one.
Ones I suspect that would be present. Jamaal Magloire Jerome Williams Alvin Williams Jalen Rose Shawn Marion Kenny Thomas Antonio Davis Vince Carter Morris Peterson Stromile Swift
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Trip:</div><div class="quote_post">Ones I suspect that would be present. Jamaal Magloire Jerome Williams Alvin Williams Jalen Rose Shawn Marion Kenny Thomas Antonio Davis Vince Carter Morris Peterson Stromile Swift</div> antonio davis!!! u have to be kidding, remember the big confrontation and antonio questioning vince's offseason training. jyd, is thought by many to be the anonymous source quoted throuhgout the globe and mail article, don't think jyd is going to come back. i heard chris webber might come though.

My list woould be: Shawn Marion Shammond Williams Stromile Swift Vince Carter Morris Peterson Jalen Rose Alvin Williams Chris Bosh Baron Davis Jeff McInnis Corey Maggette and others of course, but I think thsoe are people that could be there...

i just want to see some cool dunks and good action. i went their last year and the year before and it was awesome. I would like to see a dunk contest thing in the charity game,i thnk that would be cool.

I had courtside seats for the last two years and am gettin my usual seat again this year. So many photos to take, so little time. I hope TMac can come. Vince and Tmac together again in the game, wouldn't that be great.

Not whether or not VC will get the spotlight taken away from him. I think that if Vince brings Marion again he will go for 75 this time.
