I finally admit it
Carter is a disappointment and I am no longer a fan. What kind of idiot says these things?
TORONTO (CP) - Vince Carter admits he didn't always give it his all with the Toronto Raptors.
And his comments didn't sit well with some of his former teammates. In an interview broadcast Thursday on TNT, network analyst John Thompson asked Carter if he pushed himself as hard as he should have in Toronto. "In years past, no," said Carter, now a member of the New Jersey Nets. "I was fortunate to have the talent . . . you get spoiled when you're able to do a lot of things. You see that you don't have to work at it.
"Now, with all the injuries, I have to work harder. I'm a little hungrier. Getting a fresh start has made me want to attack the basket."

Motherfu_ker, I supported him through the tough, injury times and defended him in front of countless haters..now he proves them right. Ah forget him, im a RAPTOR FAN fisrt and although we had a tough loss last night i think we're gelling better without VC.
Interesting news, his distant cousin T-Wack also claims he didnt give it his all for his former team, Orlando Magic:
In a feature story in this week's Sports Illustrated, McGrady admitted that he was so defeated mentally by the losing that "some nights I did slack off" and also "I'm not going to sit here and say I played my hardest every night." McGrady said he did not trust his teammates on last season's team and that part of his motivation in leading the NBA in scoring was to protect his image as one of the league's elite players.
"Some nights I did slack off -- and I knew that was a terrible thing to do -- and I still was slacking off," McGrady told SI. "That feels so bad. And I'm the leader, these guys are following my lead, so the whole team suffers even worse. That was wrong. Now, I would do it differently. I learned. I have to bust my butt no matter what. Last year was the worst experience of my life. And I learned. And believe me, I'm grateful for this opportunity here."
I hope those two NEVER make the playoffs again and are forced to play on bad teams their whole careers. That family sure is shitty.
