Vince Carter has played 21 seasons in the NBA, and not one of them has ended in a championship. He’s not on the same level as, say, Karl Malone in terms of being an all-timer who couldn’t quite get it done, but that’s a long time without any rings. Not everyone is as blessed as…

Vince Carter 18 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (12/23/2018)
Vince Carter is in his 21st season in the league. Only four other players have played that many years in the NBA without perishing in the process. You know the list already, but here it is again: -Robert Parish -Kevin Willis -Kevin Garnett -Dirk Nowitzki -Vince Carter It is a sign of how much I…

Vince Carter is immortal. Truly, literally, immortal. I am convinced (get it, conVINCEd????? hah!) of this fact. If you can show me evidence of his mortality, I can show you a picture of my butthole. So, sure, 25,000 points is very exciting and this is a great accomplishment for him. But how much does it…

Vince Carter, at 41 years of age, is currently three years older than the next-oldest person who has appeared in a game this season (Jamal Crawford, 38). Pau Gasol and Udonis Haslem are also 38. Dirk Nowitzki is 40, but hasn’t appeared in a game yet. Think about the 40-year-olds you know. Maybe it’s your…

Vince Carter is old. That’s all there is to it. Not many players keep playing into middle age. I thought he would hang up the sneakers after his time with the Kings last season (anybody would want to retire from basketball after having to play for that franchise), but he defied my expectations by signing…

Vince Carter now joins an elite group of 10 players who managed to extend their NBA careers to the ripe old age of 41. 9 players if you take out Nat Hickey, which you really should, because it’s total BS that he was able to check himself into a game while being coach of a…

This is how Vince Carter is going to stick in the league for a few more years. That 24-point performance he had a month ago was an aberration; he was driving to the rim like his knees had a whole decade of toil removed from them. It’s telling that he didn’t even play the game…

It was sad for me to see, but Vince Carter looked toast this season for the Kings. He had somehow located Juan Ponce de León’s long sought-after fountain of youth somewhere in the jungles of Mexico, and used to put together a nice season for the Grizzlies last year. But this year, it was all…

With this game, Vince Carter passed Ray Allen for 22nd on the all-time scoring list. He now sits at 24511 points, which seems like an awful lot. How is that only 22nd? If I scored that many points I would demand to be in the top 10 at the very least. Maybe top 5. Think…

Vince Carter is old now. Really old. 40 whole years of life have passed before his weary eyes. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible. When was the last time someone this old scored this many points in the NBA? I’m way, WAY too lazy to figure it out, so I’m just gonna…
