Vince Carter is an All-Star Forward-Guard for the Orlando Magic and considered one of the most exciting and creative offensive players in the National Basketball Association.
In 1999, he was named the NBA Rookie of the Year and in 2000 won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. He has been elected to the NBA All-Star team eight times and has a two time All-NBA selection.
During his stays with the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets he has enjoyed tremendous individual success, but has been unable to elevate his team to significant post-season success.
At the recent media day, Carter said that he had a good summer. On his first season with the Magic, he doesn't feel pressure to produce. He is just ready to come out and play every day. Third Quarter Collapse: Orlando Magic Media Day: Vince Carter
In his home debut as the Magic, Carter had eight points in a 90-86 win over the Miami Heat.
