Prime Vince Carter Vs. Right Now Klay Thompson

... the battle: Carter man-on-man destruction or Thompson man vs. team evisceration. The fact that Thompson carved up a whole team and then did it again is unbelievable. But did you see Carter usher that poor man’s soul into the netherworld? This one’s too close to call. Winner: Tie. Excitement Factor. This one is basically how intense of a reaction you have when this player is mentioned in a League Pass Alert. Vince Carter: I imagine excitement around Carter must have been like what excitement around Russell Westbrook is like. A dude who can do no wrong, who is a vicious dunker, and has the potential to score a bunch of points. Someone who by himself is worth buying a ticket. That helps Carter. But Twitter and League Pass didn’t exist in Carter’s heyday, so that hurts Carter. Even if they did, though, if you found out Carter threw down a hammer of god dunk, that’s not really “change the channel” worthy. You missed the moment, and will likely have to catch it on Sports Center or a game highlight. Klay Thompson: You’re buying a ticket to ...

I'm Still Standing

... “But we were young guys trying to establish ourselves in the league and that’s what he wanted at the time. … They wanted me to hate Tracy, and that’s my cousin, first of all, that’s all absurd. But they wanted me to have this rivalry and a real beef over that. He’s trying to create his opportunity to be who he always wanted to be, to fulfill the dream of being the go-to guy, the man, the Tracy Mc Grady that he envisioned. So why hate on that? You can’t.”. Part of Carter also wishes that he had been a tad more patient with Toronto. Carter wanted to be like Reggie Miller and go wire-to-wire with the same organization but forced his way out after six seasons, frustrated by injuries, constant blame and a stagnant franchise. After winning Rookie of the Year and making two All-NBA teams in Toronto, Carter then became somewhat of a nomad after winding up in New Jersey, bouncing around to Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas and now Memphis. The departure from Toronto in 2004 hurt Raptors fans that lustily booed ...

Riverfront In Spotlight, Vince Carter In Air

... was the essential message of two urban design experts from Gehl Studios, who spent a day and a half in Memphis studying the riverfront …. They labeled the Memphis riverfront “a huge asset,” noting the “miles of public waterfront access,” the sunset over the river’s natural floodplain, and the opportunity to connect the riverfront to a city-wide trail network. But as for the riverfront itself …. … the pair noted how separated the different segments feel and how hard it is to get from one to the other … that they had taken a golf cart tour along the riverfront and while they were able to get from one end to the other, “it felt like trespassing.”. They suggested a kind of civic mental divide between “Downtown” and “Riverfront” and how that divide is reinforced by “few obvious east-west connects” between the two. These connection — streets, alleys and other pathways — were presented the low-hanging fruit of the riverfront-downtown question, and it was suggested that the city should look to activate these spaces to make them safer for ...
