Career

Life's Work

As one of the NBA's brightest young stars, Vince Carter has electrified the league. In only his second professional season, he led the Toronto Raptors to their first-ever playoff appearance. With his amazing dunks and stellar scoring touch, Carter is often mentioned as the heir apparent to Michael Jordan as the NBA's premier player.

Vincent Lamar Carter was born on January 26, 1977 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Although he excelled at basketball from an early age, his mother Michelle Robinson and his stepfather Harry made sure that he grew up as more than just an athlete. By the time he reached the seventh grade, Carter stood 5'8" and could already dunk a basketball, but he also played the baritone and the alto and tenor saxophone. He also wrote songs for the marching band and penned Mainland High School's homecoming song. Carter even attended band camp, a fact that he proudly passed along to Sports Illustrated's Jon L. Wertheim: "Guys hear that and make fun of me, but trying different things and doing what I like is more important than being popular." He also ran track and played volleyball. After leading his school as a drum major, for which he was also offered a college scholarship to Bethune-Cookman College, Carter led Mainland to the 1994-95 Florida Class 6A championship. Carter left Mainland High School as one of the most highly recruited high school basketball players in the country. He accepted a scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina. Carter was not one of those rare talents who uses college as a stepping stone to the NBA, however. Because both of his parents were educators, he took his studies very seriously. Carter's mother forced him to sign a contract stating that if he were to leave college early in pursuit of NBA glory, he would go back to school and graduate.

At the University of North Carolina, Carter was part of a star-studded cast which included Antawn Jamison, the man who would later be drafted one spot before him in the NBA draft. As many high school basketball phenoms have discovered at North Carolina, freshmen players must earn their way onto the starting rotation. Carter finished his freshman season with only a 7.5 points per game average. During his sophomore year, he doubled both his production and his playing time. Carter averaged 13 points per game, and led North Carolina to the Final Four before losing to the eventual national champions--Arizona. In his third year at North Carolina, he again led his team to the Final Four and solidified his reputation as a complete player--an athlete who could also play defense, rebound, and hit key shots. After his third year at North Carolina, there was little doubt that Carter would leave school to pursue the riches of the NBA. He was named a second team All-American by the Associated Press, and was a first team All-ACC selection. Carter declared himself eligible for the NBA, but not before being reminded by his mother that he must complete his education. He returned to the university during the summer months, and continued his education.

Joined the Toronto Raptors

In June of 1998, the Golden State Warriors selected Carter with the fifth pick of the NBA draft and then traded him to the Toronto Raptors for Antawn Jamison, his former North Carolina teammate. Carter immediately energized the woeful Raptors franchise, and led the team to challenge for its first playoff berth. By appearing nightly on ESPN and other sports programs, he began to attract an increasing number of Canadians to professional basketball. Sports stores sold out of Carter's number 15 jersey almost immediately, and his rookie card was pedaled for as much as ten dollars. Carter told Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated that he was surprised by his impact on the city and the league: "I didn't plan for it to be this way. My goal was to fit in, gradually work my way to being an impact player. My whole scheme fell through from Day One. . ." Carter ended the strike-shortened 1998-99 season by winning the NBA's Schick Rookie of the Year Award, and by becoming a unanimous selection to the league's All-Rookie team. During his rookie season in the NBA, Carter led the Raptors in blocked shots, field-goal percentage, and scoring.

The Next Michael Jordan

Carter began his second year as the heir apparent to retired NBA great Michael Jordan. He did little to quiet the speculation that he was ready assume the mantle of NBA demi-god. Carter's mother told Mike Wise of The New York Times that her son was accustomed to the being mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jordan: "the Michael Jordan comparison is something he's been dealing with since high school. On one hand, it's very flattering. You can't overlook the similarities. By the same token, it gets a little old, too. Vince gets tired of hearing it." Carter won the slam dunk contest during the All-Star game weekend, and the NBA seemed to officially designate him as league savior. His good looks and squeaky-clean reputation, coupled with the amazing moves and eye-popping dunks, put the league's hype machine into high gear. The evidence of Carter's popularity and importance to the NBA came one day after he won the slam dunk contest. NBC shifted the Toronto Raptors game into the national spotlight, and moved the originally scheduled New York Knicks game out of the main programming slot. Carter was featured in a pre-game introductory piece, interviewed at halftime, and again after the game. During the broadcast, his name was mentioned 165 times and his face was the subject of 105 close-ups. Carter also scored a Jordanesque 51 points during the game.

Playoff Disappointment

Despite his stellar season, Carter received some bad news just before his heroic All-Star weekend. He was omitted from the U.S. Olympic team when Ray Allen was chosen for the final roster spot. After all the adulation, the Olympic rebuff changed Carter's attitude slightly. He told the Associated Press about being left off the team: "It has helped me step up. I said, 'OK, you just have to show the world what you can do night in and night out.'" Although Carter was eventually added to the team after one of the original players on the roster suffered a knee injury, the supposed slight caused him to focus his energies more on winning than flashy, entertaining play. Carter led his team to the playoffs in 2000--a first for the Toronto franchise. The young Raptors faced the New York Knicks in the first round. Toronto had beaten the Knicks three times during the regular season. However, the New Yorkers quickly disposed of the Raptors in a three-game sweep. Carter, who was shadowed throughout each game by defensive wizard Latrell Sprewell, was held to 15 of 50 field goal attempts through the three games of the series. Despite this disappointing end, Carter enjoyed a tremendous season. Teammate Antonio Davis summed up Carter's responsibilities for Wise of The New York Times: "Some of the time I hear him talking and some of the things he had to do after practice or something he had to before practice, it's like wow. And you still made it to practice on time, you got your work in after practice? That's tough, trying to lift your team and sell the league at the same time. He's going to help the league by being himself. He's doing a great job of it."

Vincent Lamar "Vince" Carter (born January 26, 1977) is an American All-Star basketball player in the NBA. He currently is a starting shooting guard for the New Jersey Nets. He is considered one of the best scoring guards in the game today.

Biography and career

Vince Carter, born in Daytona Beach, Florida, was a McDonald's All-American player in 1995 out of Mainland High School in Daytona Beach.[7] Carter enjoyed tremendous popularity during his initial years in the NBA, especially after showcasing his athletic abilities in the 2000 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, in which he competed alongside teammate and third cousin[8] Tracy McGrady. He took the newly franchised Toronto Raptors to new heights as he helped the team to three playoff berths. Until 2006, Carter had perennially topped All-Star team voting. He currently plays for the New Jersey Nets. He is widely considered one of the elite players in the NBA.[citation needed]

Toronto Raptors

Carter was drafted by the NBA's Golden State Warriors 5th overall and then traded to the Toronto Raptors for Antawn Jamison, his UNC college teammate and best friend[9]. Carter and Jamison played together at the University of North Carolina. Carter's rookie season was the shortened 50-game 1999 season after the NBA locked out its players in 1998-99. Carter started almost every game for coach Butch Carter and eventually won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award.[10] The next year, Carter was selected to an All-Star Team for the first time, and showcased his athleticism and dunking abilities in the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. He won the contest by performing an array of dunks including a 360° windmill, a between the legs, and an "elbow dunk."[9] Though he has not competed in the dunk contest since, Carter has been voted into the Eastern Conference NBA All-Star Team starting lineup several times through fan balloting.[11]

In Carter's first two seasons, his teammate was cousin and future all-star Tracy McGrady; the two would form a formidable one-two punch as Raptor teammates. Though initially tight and close on the surface, McGrady often found himself in Carter's shadow. While Carter was responsible for scoring, it was McGrady's job to be the team's defensive stopper and ball distributor.[citation needed] The duo of Carter and McGrady led the Raptors to their first playoff berth in the 2000 NBA Playoffs, but they were swept by the New York Knicks in 3 games. Upon McGrady's departure to the Orlando Magic the following season, Carter became the Raptors' franchise player.

On the morning of the day of Game 7 of the 2001 Eastern Conference playoffs (Raptors vs Philadelphia 76ers), Sunday, May 20, he attended his UNC graduation[12], although he arrived in Philadelphia before the rest of the team did.[citation needed] In that game, Carter missed a game-winning shot with 2.0 seconds remaining[13] and shot just 6 of 18 from the field.[14]

In the summer of 2001, Carter signed a $94-million, six-year extension with the Raptors.[15] In addition, Carter announced that he would be hosting a charity basketball game featuring fellow NBA stars that would be played at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on August 3, 2001. The success of the first game encouraged Carter to make the game an annual summer event.

During the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, under great public pressure, Carter gave up his starting All-Star spot to the Washington Wizards' Michael Jordan to allow Jordan to make his final start as an All-Star.[16]

As his Raptor tenure progressed, Raptor fans began to witness a transition in Carter's offensive game that featured more perimeter shooting. This was in stark contrast to Carter's initial repertoire of regular drives to the hoop for dunks which had subsequently gone on a decline. This, combined with Carter's chronic injury problems, predominantly from Jumper's Knee[17], had Raptor fans questioning his toughness & durability. Carter's work ethic was also questioned with his play declining as the years went on, culminating in a mediocre 15.9 points per game in 2004-2005 [18] and the team failing to make the playoffs. Carter became frustrated with the Raptors' management team as he felt they failed to surround him with players who could help carry the load offensively. At the same time, Raptors' management was equally frustrated, as they thought he was a player who could carry a load offensively without feigning an injury during a poor shooting performance - a feat he proved incapable of performing. [citation needed] On November 22, 2004, when pressed by the local media about his lack of dunks, Carter responded, "I don't want to dunk anymore."[19]

In late December 2004, there were allegations that Carter tipped off the opposing Seattle SuperSonics (the Raptors' opponents on November 19, 2004) of an upcoming Raptors play by yelling "It's a flare! It's a flare!".[20]

2000 Summer Olympics

Olympic medal record
Men's Basketball
Gold 2000 Sydney United States

During the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Carter performed a memorable dunk when he flew over 7-foot-2 (2.18 m) French center Frédéric Weis. Carter took off, spread his legs in midair, and slightly scraped Weis's head before slamming the ball. Teammate Jason Kidd said it was "One of the best plays I've ever seen". The French media later dubbed it "le dunk de la mort" ("the Dunk of Death").[21] He helped the team to win the gold medal that year.

New Jersey Nets

Carter made it clear in the 2004 off-season that he wanted to be traded from the Raptors.[22] On December 17, 2004, Raptors General Manager Rob Babcock traded Carter to the New Jersey Nets for Alonzo Mourning, Eric Williams, Aaron Williams and two future first-round draft picks. The trade to the Nets, combined with Carter's increasingly declining popularity with Raptors fans, also put an end to his charity basketball games in Toronto, with the last one being played in the summer of that year.

In early January 2005, he admitted in a television interview with TNT's John Thompson to not giving effort in his last months as a Raptor; when asked if he always played hard, Carter replied, "In years past, no. I was fortunate to have the talent. You get spoiled when you're able to do a lot of things. You see that you don't have to work at it."[23]

Months after the TNT interview, Carter returned to Toronto as a member of the Nets on April 15, 2005. Carter scored 39 points in front of a hostile Toronto Raptors crowd that booed him throughout. The fans chanted his name the entire game, but the Nets won 101–90.[24]

Carter guided the Nets to an eighth-place seed in the 2005 NBA Playoffs.[25] Although New Jersey was swept in the first round by the Miami Heat[26], Carter finished the series with averages of 26.8 points per game, 8.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists[18]; highlighted by a buzzer-beating two-point fadeaway shot in the first overtime of Game 3 that forced a second overtime.[27]

Carter returned to Toronto on January 8, 2006 for the third time since his trade to the New Jersey Nets, and was given the same treatment by the fans that he received the first time he played against the Raptors in the Air Canada Centre.[28] With the Nets trailing 102–104, Carter hit the winning three-point shot with 0.1 seconds left on the game clock and finished with 42 points and 10 rebounds. Carter considers this winning shot as his greatest ever, considering the atmosphere, the emotion and the hostility in the arena.[29]

In the 2005-06 NBA season, he co-led the Nets to 49 wins, an Atlantic Division title, and the number three seed in the playoffs, while averaging 24.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. He led the Nets to the second round of the playoffs before losing to the eventual NBA champions Miami Heat in five games. Carter averaged 29.6 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 11 playoff games.

On February 1, 2007, Carter was named, along with teammate Jason Kidd, as a reserve to the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, after losing out on a starting spot to Gilbert Arenas by 3,010 votes.[30] Both Carter and Kidd made their eighth All-Star game appearance.[31]

Carter has a player option in his contract that, if he does not exercise, will make him a free agent in the summer of 2007.[32]

In a 120–114 overtime win over the Washington Wizards, April 7, 2007, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd became the first teammates in over 18 years to record triple-doubles in the same game since the Chicago Bulls' Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen achieved this feat against the Los Angeles Clippers in 1989. Carter finished with 46 points, a career-high 16 rebounds, and 10 assists. Kidd finished with 10 points, tied a career-high with 16 rebounds, and tied a season-high with 18 assists. Carter's Triple Double is the second highest total for a triple double, second only to Alvin Adams of the Phoenix Suns who tallied 47 points and 18 rebounds over 30 years ago. [33]

After the Nets were eliminated from the playoffs by the Cleveland Cavaliers (lost series 4-2), rumors of the Nets trading Carter again arose. After the New York Knicks and Nets discussed a trade around February of Carter (which was ended with the trading deadline), the two teams again revisted the subject. Carter, who opted out of his contract on June 30, reportedly wanted a three-year, $60 million deal however, which the Knicks are wary of. On July 1, 2007 Carter signed a 4-year $61.8 million with the Nets. [34]
