Vince "Air Canada" Carter Would've Played His Last Regular Season Game Tomorrow

Written By
Vince Carter, current Atlanta Hawks small forward and shooting guard, was set to play his final regular-season game tomorrow in his NBA career. His professional career started when he was drafted fifth overall in 1998 by the Golden State Warriors, but then traded to Toronto in exchange for the fourth pick, Antawn Jamison. They were both Juniors out of North Carolina. Along with Jamison, Vince was drafted in a class that included Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, Rashard Lewis and Mike Bibby.

Vince Carter

This post is a bit different from the usual crap you see on Yammer. But here are some really impressive numbers that won't be able to sum up who Vince Carter was as a basketball player. Vince, at this point in time, has played in 1541 NBA games, averaging 16.7 points a game, 4.3 Rebounds and 3.1 Assists. He has contributed over 25,000 points to scoreboards across the NBA in his career and swatted 888 shots as recorded blocks in his career. Stats are impressive and Vince's stat line is not one that anyone would be ashamed of, but this really doesn't do the man justice. He has been nicknamed "Air Canada" and "Half Man Half Amazing". Who can forget "Vinsanity"

There is only one way to show everyone just who Vince Carter really was. This goes beyond the stat line and further than the nicknames. So in tribute to a man who may never play the last game that he was always meant to play... the only way to put it into words is by saying three words...


"Here, watch this."

A New Quarterback and New Uniforms for New England.

Written By
The New England Patriots are set to release new uniforms soon. Our old friend Tom grew old of New England, so he moved to Tampa Bay to work under Bucs Head Coach, Bruce Arians. I don't know why Tom left. If I was him, I wouldn't have left the Pats. Bill Belichick, in my eyes, is a more competent coach and the Patriots are a better team for Tom. But hey, if he wants to go, he can go. Belichick and Brady These new uniforms should hopefully look amazing. They've worn the same boring crap for years with little to no change. There is something about Boston that makes them like wearing the same uniforms year after year... I mean look at the Celtics, that same colour grouping since, probably their first game in history. The Redsox are no better, but it's not often you see many major changes in MLB uniforms. The Bruins also don't make an overwhelming amount of change to their uniforms. Boston is, though, a big sports city. I don't know what the Patriots are tr...

Mark Richardson: A Great Kiwi Embarrassment

Written By
New Zealand has had a pretty good bout against Coronavirus and arguably has made the best response out of every country in the world. Jacinda Ardern, love her or hate her, has made a pretty good effort out of this all and I think we can drop political colours to acknowledge it, but there are those arrogant morons who refuse to acknowledge any of what has been done is good, and one of those people is named Mark Richardson. Mark, to his credit, contributed a lot to the success of New Zealand Cricket in his days of playing, but beyond that, I'm not sure we can count hosting The Block NZ as any sizable success for him, I mean that show was only good for what? One season? But yeah, he's alright when it comes to cricket and I'll give him that much before I absolutely do what needs to be done. "NEEEEOOM" - Mark Richardson For some reason, Mark Richardson seems to think he is some national icon that is loved by everyone, but realistically, he is a retired...

Covid-19 Hits the NFL (We still hate Roger Goodell)

Written By
The NFL has now become the final sport of the four major US Sports to have contracted Covid-19.  As of right now, two active players have tested positive for the virus. Brian Allen (Los Angeles Rams) and Von Miller (Denver Broncos) are the two confirmed players. Who knows, Goodell is probably threatening people around the league with consequences if they confirm they have the virus. Let's admit it, Goodell is an ass hole and this sounds like something he would try to sweep under the rug. All going well, these two will be done with the virus in a matter of weeks, but if I'm honest, something tells me that slug, Roger Goodell, has a grip on some players and has told them not to speak up so he can keep the show on the road. We've already been told that Goodell won't postpone the NFL Draft, risking a lot of crap for team staff and we know Donald Trump has told him that there shouldn't be a delay in the season, so it wouldn't surprise me if this absolute dog of a c...
