Writing a blog about Vince Carter was one of the more difficult tasks I have faced. I myself always considered Vince Carter as the "Underdog Legend."

Looking at Vince Carter now, makes me realize how his skills have diminished over the years. I also believe he is not given enough credit. Carter came into the league in 1998 averaging 18.3 points per game, while this is not extraordinary for a veteran; this means a lot for a rookie in his first season.

The young Vince Carter, in my opinion, was what I would define as "raw." By his 06-07 year he displayed his talent with an average of 25 points per game .4 blocks, 1 steal, 6 rebounds. I then noticed by his 2008-09 year his skills had abruptly declined. With his stats reading 20 points per game, 2 turnovers, and 5 rebounds per game. Now that is still decent, but as years went on his stats should have been increasing instead of diminishing like it did.

I also noticed people were "drowning" his name a little bit around the basketball community fan wise. Now later on into this current age, Vince Carter is rarely talked about. No one really knows of his name like that. Its like he doesn't exist. Now from my point of view, there's no coming back for Vince Carter he will never be the same as his early years. But he will still be a decent player in the basketball community.
