But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.

Vince Carter needs to go to basketball hell. His character is almost of a vile sort. Though certainly not evil, his utter lack of professional principles should convince teams to leave him with no place on any team forever. When he first came to Toronto, we worshipped him. We made excuses for him. We bought his merchandise. And he didn't even give us his best. What is worse is that he suggests talented people do not have to try hard, which is one of the worst messages you can send to the youth who are supposed to love the game. Sports heroes? Don't look at basketball. The proportion of ego to ball size is greater in B-Ball than any other sport, and that is a tough title to win, considering the silly endzone dances they have in football.
