Do you still hate Vince?
Happy October! The NBA regular season is only a few weeks away, and I can’t wait to see our new-look Toronto Raptors in action.
Rap-scratch fever prompted me to check out the latest in Toronto Raptors merchandise at Big Fly Sports’ NBA shop. Boy, was I surprised to see these pricey items:
Reduced size for your protection.
Toronto Raptors Vince Carter autographed 8 x 10 photo (above)
Carter in a white Raps jersey, autographed 8 x 10
Carter-autographed Sports Illustrated from March 1998.
I’m no memorabilia collector, so I know I won’t be buying these. Would you? Do you look back fondly on those VC glory days? Have you forgiven and forgotten those Half-Man, Half-Effort nights? I’d love to hear from you, because you’re obviously a wonderful, loving human being.
Share your favorite VC memories and try to re-ignite that spark in the bitter members of our brethren. Comment below or tweet @Marasmitch.

vc is like an ex that you don’t get over and you love to hate because she broke it off with you. . . As much as the fans hate vc they love him to. . . Im still a VC fan so you dumb ass basketball fans should get over it. . . look towards the future instead of living in the past. . . It’s a new era and to be honest as bad as ppl say VC was. . . So was our management. . . We stunk in that department signing guys like keon clar the famour drunk baller. . . We never surrounded VC with other superstars. . . Yeah we drafted bosh but who knew back then how far bosh will develop. . . Im rocking my VC jersey when orlando comes look for me in the NORTH CAROLINA VC!!!!

grow up you pussies vince put toronto on the map and actually got out games broadcasted on american television. he also brought a certain prescence when he stepped on the court that something big was going to happen which made every game worth watching. i dont know about you but when was the last time we had a player who brought that sence of exitement to every game? pops mensah-bonsu? next question…

spirow, blaze89 – would you buy VC memorabilia?
And to paraphrase the Emperor Joseph (”Amadeus”), you are passionate, but do you persuade? Let’s hear from more Raptors fans.

His last couple months in Toronto were horrible, and it’s still annoying when he stays on the floor for 5 minutes when he takes a hard foul, but there’s a reason we all fell in love with him here. His game was, and is, awesome. I still enjoy watching him play.
