Viince Carter is 25th on the NBA all-time scoring list

[JohnnySic]

Only 24 players ever have scored more points than him. I find that amusing somehow.

Props to him. :applause:

[$LakerGold]

Wow. #oldmanbasketball

That's amazing. Knowing how his game was in the past. I never really thought he'd reach top 25 in scoring. People would say that dunking was his life, age/time/injuries changed that anyway & went on to accomplish this.

[Rake2204]

Trying to weigh things out... I think he'd scrape his way past Charles Barkley for 24th if he comes back next year - he's only about 200 points behind in that regard. He's 800 behind Allen Iverson which, for a guy who's accepted a super reduced role closing in on 40, may be a little bit of a tougher get.

Still, where ever he ends up, he may be there a while. Carmelo Anthony will likely bump him a spot (Anthony's currently at 20,000) but after that, there's really no active players in super striking distance. Edit: Dwyane Wade's at 19,000. He'll likely surpass as well.

little impact, cancerous, bad attitude, loved then hated, better as a role player, great stat padder, forgiveness later on


soon to be HOF'r

[HylianNightmare]

He's made quite a career

[kennethgriffin]

as a canadian i'l never forgive him for setting back the raptors 10 years by tanking games/giving away plays/sacrificing his own stats in order to get traded for scraps

dude refused to dunk. dropped to like 14ppg and told apposing teams what the raptors were running each time up the floor..

a franchise 27ppg player in his prime traded for eric williams and aaron williams

Would've still 3 peated with Shaq in place of Kobe

:lol

[Charlie Sheen]

better as a role player

The way you wrote this...it's not even fair. You're discounting the bulk of his career because he made a successful transformation as he got older?

Wade's 33 and close to 5,000 points behind him. This past season he played 62 games and scored just over 1300 points. I think that's the best we can expect from him at this point, and he'd need another 3 and a half seasons of at least that to match VC's current totals. I don't see him doing that.

If Wade doesn't pass him, then Carter may really be sitting in the Top 25 for a while. Bosh is at 16,000 and Durant's at 15,500. They're probably the next in line.

I'd say it's still somewhat mixed, but they probably buried the hatchet.

I haven't really had a problem with Vince for a while.

As you can see there's a few losers like kenneth that can't let go. If you believe in Karma and shit like that, that's probably the reason their team still sucks even when they're "good". Too much negative energy in that fanbase. If you can't fully embrace and appreciate the best thing that ever happened to your franchise, you deserve a shitty franchise :confusedshrug:

The Raptors have had bad management for a long time. Embracing Vince (or even Chris Bosh) isnt going to change how badly they were run for years or even the fact they played poorly down the stretch this year. The fan base embraced the Raptors like nothing I've seen before the last 2 seasons and it didn't change the postseason drought.

Like I've said before, I don't have anything against Vince, I'm pretty neutral on him. The fan base does have a lot of negativity, but that has a lot to do with its other sports teams post 93, rather than just the Raptors and it's former players.

What can change is them drafting better, scouting better, adapt to modern era basketball schematics, and continue to develop young talent.

[Taller than CP3]

That's only because he's been in the league for 25 years. All he needs to do is score 1;000 points every season and boom, he already has 25,000 points and is ranked Top 25 all time.

[Done_And_Done]

I find it somewhat amusing that he's 6th all time in 3pointers made.

probably in terms of attitude, but most definitely not in basketball skills. adrien was just an inside scorer, while vince was an athletic wingman.

[Legends66NBA7]

Why ?

He was already a 40% 3pt shooter by his 2nd season and over 37% his whole career , has made amazing 3 point game winners look effortlessly, and breaking 3 point records in the playoffs.

If anything, he could have been higher.
