Besides being quite the athlete and having a long illustrious career, he def inspired the new gen of Canadian players to pursue the pro game with putting Toronto on the NBA map.
John Smith How is being 1 of ONLY 50 something NBA players to score 25,000+ underachieving ? He had injuries in his career and keep playing about 14 more seasons after those injuries that caused him to miss 200+ games in his prime.
How good was he??? He entered the league around the same time I started watching basketball. He is the reason why I love and still passionately follow the game. I don't give 2 sh**s about him not being a champion. For me personally, he is not good, he is not legendary, he is my frkn GOAT... . Thank you Mr Carter for making me fall in love with the greatest of games, I will forever be grateful
I didn't see him in his young years but just seeing him at 43 with his attitude and how he's still pulling of amazing dunks is more than enough to gain my respect. At least I hope he'll become a coach one day.
He’s a Hall of Famer i dont wanna hear no debates on Bs ESPN! I dont want to hear about accomplishment Vince Carter was an icon and hes still an icon to these younger players!!!!
@@DANtheMANofSIPA Dwight and Vince is bigger than Grant and Tmac. Dwight and Vince were winners on their primes and made impact on Orlando and Toronto respectively
Hey, Jonny! I just wanted to say, I absolutely LOVE your videos. Watching these "how good was he really" on players I used to watch growing up is just phenomenal. Keep up the great work!
My all-time favorite player (as I was too young to remember Jordan properly). If only T-Mac stuck with VC, they’d have won at least 2 rings imo! Shame neither of them won any. Thank you for making this!
@@kingad8869 Yeah both of them suck ass Lakers could have beaten the 96 Bulls and sweep the 96 Bulls right? T-Ass's 13 points vs bullshit 33 seconds was luck
It will sound funny but it's Vince Carter who got me into basketball. Not MJ, not Kobe, but Vince. I knew there is such sport but I didn't really care about it and saw only few highlights in TV. Somewhere late in 2000's my friend showed me some Vince Carter highlights and I was amazed by them and NBA quickly became my love to this day. Thank you Vince!
Prime VC was one of the best players in the league and one of my favourites growing up. I think a lot of people took him for granted at the time because of that 'next MJ' tag that was thrown around which raised expectations way way too much. But he was an hyper athletic and lethal from 3. Fringe top 10 SG, probably just outside. But definitely the greatest in game dunker ever with Shawn Kemp and Dominique rounding out the top 3.
as a raptor fan and growing up watching mj religiously. i can say vc's first couple of years in the league were a breath of fresh air. you could tell this kid was something special and i'm not just talking about his dunks. he brought it every single game. everyone thought he was going to be one of the great ones if he keeps this up. unfortunately thats where it stops, he just didn't have the work ethics or wanted to put up with the grind. and although he was still really good early on, he was no longer considered something special. he could have easily been mentioned along the late great kobe of that era if he had the will and determination.
Vince and Kobe when I was a kid were gods, they made you believe human flight was possible, they made you believe superhero’s weren’t just in your cartoons. Everyone in Canada back in the day wanted to fly like Vince. I always used to pretend my games were at ACC
I watch more of these UA-cam NBA videos than actual NBA. I think your channel is really good as good if not better than some of the other channels i watch. You deserve more than 55,000 subs there are channels similar to yours with over 1 million subs but i tend to watch your vids as much if not more. Keep up the good work.
In that 2001 season, Vince was arguably a top 5 player that year. Had he been on a team with Jason Kidd that year, they would have been in the finals. The rest of the East has caught up to him by the time he went to the Nets. Still an amazing individual talent for about 8-9 seasons
Never been a Carter fan, I got to know him, when he was a role player, so it's nice to see this video, it makes younger fans like me to understand why so many people was rooting for him
I was a VC fan when he and AI met in tbe playoffs, but i was rooting for the sixers in that series because of the redemption story of AI and alzo because o thought that Vince would have alot of chance to go to the finals.
i love the new channel pic big up would love to see a vid on all of Kobe's prime years cuz people used to blast his legacy because of his "low" 25 ppg and "low" fg%
I remember as a kid, my older brother used to tell me to make sure I remember Vince Carters name in the early 2000s. Never forgot his name even though I never watched basketball on tv at all. But here I am now how ironic.
As a sixers fan, I remember the epic sixers/raptors series with A.I. And Vince carter in their absolute prime and Vince just missed that game winner. Very evenly matched series and iverson and Vince just balled out. He was absolutely elite in his prime.
Vince Carter is by far the greatest Raptor of all time. He put Toronto on the map and impacted several generations of kids that made basketball grow all over Canada. We all unanimously know he's the greatest dunker of all time, but what people forget that he was such a huge offensive force his first 12 years in the league and had several clutch moments. He was unlucky to be surrounded with sub-perennial players in Toronto, and his time with the Nets was underrated. Those Carter to Kidd connections were the best. A definite Hall of Famer and ultimate legend. You will be missed VC!
The man deserves all the accolades. Incredible ballplayer but a very humble dude. All dunks and game winners aside, he gets mad respect for just attending his graduation at a critical moment during the playoffs when Raptors were facing the 76ers, after promising his mother he would finish college. That alone shows what kind of man he is.
I started watching him during his Nets days. Was still in awe of how high he could leap at the time. Damn, all my childhood legends are retired or retiring
Honestly didn't know VC had such a good shooting percentage from 3. I love the guy but I always ragged on him for shooting too many 3s. Guess I've been wrong for years.
@@amjan exactly amjan. Nique did a few dunks over & over. Plenty of power. With MJ & Vince you never knew what u would see. Dr J had more variety too as did Connie Hawkins.
Wilkins then was dubbed the "Human Highlight Film". VC was simply Highlight Incarnate. He'll always have something for SportCenter and it was never a dull moment.
I think the fact that he played so many years accepting the part of a role player has given me more respect for Vince that his peak career performance. A guy who just wants to help his team win is my kind of guy.
nice video short and alot of infos VC one of greatest player in NBA No Ego just he love the game and love to share his experience with young players Half man half amazing
I have no words for how good Vince was, I rememer being 12 and sitting there in front of the TV, munching on 7 Days scroissants and watching Vince doing.... THAT.... live in 2000' dunk contest, in my book he'll always be THE best ingame and dunk contest dunker that league has ever seen. As great as he was in basically every aspect of the game, including 3 pointers, most people didn't even know about it because his dunking ability was just on whole another level and that's what people tend to pay most attention to
8:05 In any way, that is honorable. Vince is a man who loves the game and loves it more than optics or money. I'm proud to be a Hawks fan and I wish he played for Boston that'd have been dope.
Yeah I believe TMac and Vinsanity would have won the very first Toronto Raptors championship had TMac stayed a little longer. I feel too bad for Vince Carter not winning any ring in NBA. He’s my most favorite NBA player. A very rare basketball talent. A shooter and a dunker! He’s still half man, half amazing to me!
It is sad that Vince is missing out on his final tour, I hope the league takes note and does something special for his amazing contribution to the NBA.
Vince was a true leader a guy that does not hog the ball at all times and a quite reserved personality Vince was the true greatest leader in our gen-z and alpha generation
Carter is my hero since I was a kid, and still.. He is underrated and was unlucky through out his career. If he had been with McGrady together, they would definitely have won championships, and maybe "snow balled" that, meaning the franchise can make you even better by working harder to defend your title and increasing your confidence.... Thanks you VC...
Vince Carter is a legend, i honestly hope he plays 1 more season because of how this season ended. Also I don't think he would have won a ring with T-mac but they would have been extremely good.
Mr. Arnett, I appreciate your videos. Please double check the NBA 02 & 03 Finals. I believe, Vince Carter lead the Nets to consecutive appearances those years. Again, I appreciate your videos!
Legendary finsher at the rim, amazing mid-range game similar to Tracy McGrady's, great 3-point shooter, elite perimeter defender and pickpocket, one of the best shot-blocking guards of all-time. He's what Tracy McGrady could've been if he stayed healthy.
One of my first memories of actually watching basketball was that dunk contest, I was like 5 or 6 and I remember going oh so this is why people watch sports lmao
I got to see him March 6 2020 in Washington DC. The Bullets won but Vince got a standing ovation when he entered the game and an ovation when he made his first shot. He ball faked some dude and broke his ankles and swished home a perfect 3.
Vince May have underachieved overall but he’s had a great career, put Toronto on the map, and was reliably clutch throughout his 20+ years. Should be first ballot HOFer and really evolved into a veteran who played the right way.
Definitely, without a Doubt, Ones of the "Top 75 Players in History of the NBA!" Ones of the Greatest Shooting Guards of All-Time (Top 15) and ones of the Best Dunkers of the NBA! "Forever Vince Carter will be, Half-Man/Half-Amazing!!!'
He was right up there with Kobe and Iverson for those 2 seasons. Short prime, still had a great career was probably top 3 in the league those 2 seasons in Toronto.
I honestly think they would have won at least 1 title with VC &Tmac, cause then they never would have gotten Hakeem, and maybe spent money on a different big man to battle Shaq & Duncan. Oh man, the early 2000s would have been hot in the Tdot!! Always love your vids sir.
He was Dominique Wilkins' one true successor as the next "Human Highlight Film". First player to put the Raptors on the map and wound up having the longest career of any wing player in pro-basketball history. Only thing missing from his 1st-ballot HOF-worthy resume is a ring, that's about it. Even became a pretty decent defender during the latter stage of his career, but during his prime Carter was among the most exciting players to watch on the hardwood. Really enjoyed his Nets tenure with Jason Kidd, East Coast Showtime right there... >;-)
My vote for best dunker of all time goes to Dominique Wilkins, but if you want to say it's Vince Carter then that's totally fair and realistic. I don't think anyone was beating the Lakers in 2000 or 2001 but a Carter-McGrady pairing could have won championships in 2002 and 2003. With 8 All Star Selections and longevity, I expect Vince Carter to make the Hall of Fame someday. I argued against Grant Hill's induction to the brevity of his peak due to the injuries. My position on Hill was that he played like a Hall of Famer as a Piston but that he needed to keep it for a few years as a Magic, which he didn't do, to be a Hall of Fame. But Hill Hill came back to be a nice role player with the Suns later on. So if Hill's 7 All Star Berths and longevity got him in, then Carter's 8 All Star Berths and longevity should get him in.
The basketball HOF counts your entire playing career including college, which is why Grant Hill got in. He was an all time great college player that was a great NBA player for 6 years before injuries cost him his prime.
I had an opportunity to witness this first hand. Even during the Play-Offs as a Canadian. VC was amazing and unfortunately T-Mac was unwilling to stay, if he did, basketball history would be very different, maybe, just maybe, we’d have a contender for the best SF/SG pair in B-Ball history.
With or without help, Vince's was a beast. It's a terrible shame he didn't win a rings but, neither did Chuck Barkley didn't either, and after Doc retired, I pulled for Chuck and Vince!
When I started following the NBA he was my favourite player. Unlucky Raptors against the Sixers of Iverson but I think the best team of all East was the Bucks.
Is Vince Carter a Top 10 Shooting Guard of All-Time?
Yes sir I didn't realize he retire great videos keep up the awesome ✨ work
He might be and if not like 13th at worst
Nah. I'd say either top 15 or top 20.
Jonny Arnett yes
Arguably. Vince has a case to be 10th best SG ever.
He singlehandedly made Toronto relevant
Besides being quite the athlete and having a long illustrious career, he def inspired the new gen of Canadian players to pursue the pro game with putting Toronto on the NBA map.
The puck loving writers hated him
Not into a 🏆 team tho
@@AquariusLeviathanProphecy no shit the team was trash.

Prime Vince Carter is extremely underrated. He's more than "just a dunker":..
I totally agree
Abu Hassan yeah he can shoot too!
Calling him just a dunker is an insult
He is not underrated at all. He is properly rated. He underachieved.
John Smith

They would have never had playoff success even if they both stayed healthy. Both T-Mac and Carter lacked heart and the ability to close games.

The basketball HOF counts your entire playing career including college, which is why Grant Hill got in. He was an all time great college player that was a great NBA player for 6 years before injuries cost him his prime.

It is hard for me to decide between Shawn Kemp and Vince Carter. These two had the most aesthetically pleasing in game dunking I ever saw.
When I started following the NBA he was my favourite player. Unlucky Raptors against the Sixers of Iverson but I think the best team of all East was the Bucks.
