Has anyone wit no injury fell off worse then Vince Carter

BlackAX410 · January 10

smh man watchin mavs games dis year has been tough. Flabby nd sick aint even da word to describe how bad Vince Carter looks right now. I grew up seeing him in his prime wit amazing dunks, an underrated 3 point touch nd versatility dat was slept on. Dude was a bonafide 25ppg scorer for years doin dat 5 times, his career high was 27.6 ppg in 2000-01 nd he has a chance to pass Larry Bird dis year wit his current 21,564 career points. His numbers eva since 2009-10 (16.6 ppg) have declined nd now he's a 10ppg scorer. so da question is wat happened? was it lack of heart? dis guy had similar skills wit Kobe did he just lack da work ethic? Kobe is around da same age but leadin da league in scorin, Paul Pierce is da same age nd averaging 20ppg, Vince not only lost a step but not even close to wat he used to be. So once again i ask has any NBA player wit no serious injury eva declined nd lost their skills worse then Vince Carter?

Vince is a lazy nigga...plain and simple. Oh and he has terrible BBall IQ....oh and he's not in Kobe's league. Never has been

he didn't fall off, he got old. thats normal, especially for a guy who relied so much on his jumping ability. I think his career is on a pretty normal progression. but he's had injuries. thats why they call him Wince

i aint say he was in da same league but they had similar skill sets VC could shoot, drive, rebound, nd had a nice post fadeaway he also had some decent assist seasons. even wit his decline he averages 21ppg for his career

it was sumthin different bout him tho even before he got older his attitude was shitty nd his numbers declined. his last year in Toronto when he was intentionally doggin it nd passin up open shots is when his peers started seperating from him. even T-Mac had more heart then him nd he had more serious injuries

What was his potential cause he wasn't go put up numbers like Kobe. Vince averaging 21 points for his career that seems pretty good for his skillset

hell he was never really known for having a great attitude, who knows maybe he was trying to prove a point. but he was straight in New Jersey. and lil in Orlando. wasn't really until well after his 10th year than he declined. spending 30 years jumping over fools probably tears up the knees pretty good

mike06 · January 10

he got big headed and maybe the pressure and losing got to him...but i thought he did somethin to his knee one year either in Toronto or New Jersey

maybe missing that late 3(under all that scrunity of going to his graduation) in the ECF vs. Philly really reeeeeeeally effected him mentally....

Honestly we expect too much from guys.

You cant just transport 'heart, drive, etc.' into a guy. He is what he is.

And just b/c nggas dont go down like D rose dont mean injuries dotn derial their career:

During his Raptors tenure, news came out that Carter had developed Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease also known as "jumper's knee," which drew criticism and questions from local media outlets and fans about Carter's long term durability as a NBA scorer

The Lonious Monk · January 10

Vince was good, but he was never the type of player that people tried to make him. He was another one that got the "Next Jordan" title for a while. The problem is he never had Jordan's heart or mind. He just had some talent and a lot of pure athleticism. That makes for a very exciting player, but not an all time superstar like people believed he'd be.

idk it just seemed he neva paid attention to his craft like ova wing stars he was wit. dude seemed to neva give 100% yea he's got good career numbers but dat chip on his shoulder/ will to win neva matched his talent level IMO
