The percentage of NBA history that features either Robert Parish or Vince Carter is just staggering, and it's only going to grow as Vinsanity sticks around for a record-setting 22nd year. pic.twitter.com/nutUrhzPa9— Adam Fromal (@fromal09) August 5, 2019

its cool cos vince carter is exactly the type of player that everyone figured would have a short career and whos game would fall off a cliff as soon as the athleticism was gone. plus he was always injured and seemed like a baby tbf. old vince has atoned for all of young vinces nba shortcomings.

yeah for a while everyone hated him
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 August 2019 21:55 (four years ago) link
vince loves to hoop. i always wonder about off-court contributions for guys who play a really long time. i haven't read much about vince lately, but i assume old vince is probably easy to get along with, helpful to the young guys, etc. or he wouldn't have stuck around so long.

Checketts had hired Abraham, and once Checketts left there was no buffer between himself and Dolan. The relationship, Abraham says, was cordial: “He owned the company, so I had respect for that.” Once, during a disagreement, Abraham tried to make a point. He told his boss to imagine that the two of them were in a car that Dolan owned. “‘ I want to make a left turn, you want to make a right turn,’ ” he recalls saying. “‘It’s your car. We know we’re going to make a right turn. All I’m asking is for you to explain to me why you want to make a right turn so I understand your thinking.’ ” Dolan, he recalls, said nothing. “He looked at me as if I was speaking Martian. He absolutely could not fathom what I was trying to ask him. And I think people like that, they can’t see how to build an organization or how to build a spirit in an organization. They just don’t have the acumen and the perspective to do it.”

Ha. I was shocked when I saw the gym in that Netlix doc on Chinle Tigers. All of the towns on the rez are relatively small, and Chinle isn't even the biggest one! And obv the entire rez is far from wealthy.
