Vince Carter

You know, I was thinking

Carter just on longevity.

Oh, Kyle Corver.

Yeah,

He only shot threes.

He only shot threes.

Vince Carter did make the list.

paul george made the list

And then you had Hito Turkoglu and Hakeem Warwick and Josh Childress, who were trying to replace Amari Stoudemire in the aggregate.

You traded Jason Richardson for Vince Carter and Marcin Gortat, who later became pretty good, but like a season or two later.

And you had like 40-year-old Grant Hill.

Goran Dragic, I think, was traded for the first time halfway through that season.

They are until they aren't.

And I'll tell you this much, you and AJ, once these kickers, once they start to doubt themselves, just like Vince Carter said, it's over.

You may be right about that.

You know, once it gets broken, right? And now, I mean, it's the biggest mind you know what.

But you see the way he's welcomed back.

You know, time does heal these wounds, right? You know, I think of Vince Carter a lot as someone who was a kid when he was, you know, a superstar with the Raptors, and then the bad feeling he left in the way that he left town.

And now, you know, the Raptors have made sort of peace with him after all this time.

It's probably going to take.

But those kinds of cards are starting to jump in price.

I think even others, maybe like T-Mac and Vince Carter, sometimes getting a little bit more of a collector base.

Because, you know, you can go back to the 90s and the 2000s and the 2010s and you can find these really cool cards and really cool inserts.

And you're saying that that's not really the case for football pre-2000s.

And let's look at LeBron at age 41, as far as production goes, versus other players that played at the age of 41 in NBA history.

So we're gonna compare LeBron to Kareem at age 41, Robert Parrish at age 41, Vince Carter at age 41, and Bob Cousy at age 41.

So I just gave you LeBron's stats at age 41 this previous year.

20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, playing 33.2 minutes per game.

But anyways, so that was Robert Parrish at age 41.

4.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.5 assists in 16.7 minutes.

Now we go to Vince Carter.

So somebody more modern as far as time frame.

Yeah.

I like the, surprisingly, I like the Vince Carter shocks.

The Olympic ones they did around the time when the Olympic sixes came out.

I forgot what year.

Then I got an offer to go and play in Madrid, in Spain, so I went to Real Madrid.

I always sort of regret that a little bit, that I didn't hang around and try and go to vet camp at the Lakers and try and make the team, but I got another opportunity to go over and spend some time with Toronto, so I spent a season with them, and that was Vince Carter and Trace McGrady's first year there so it was awesome it was great to be part of it great to sit on the bench and travel to all the games but not being able to play because I was injured kind of yeah that was took a lot of the shine off it I suppose so obviously feel a lot more sort of proud of what I was able to do with the Wildcats and stuff so

Let's get back to the Wildcats.

What a great win it was on Friday night against Melbourne United by a point, 103-102.
