SLAM: Carter All-Star Snub Deserved

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Lang Whitaker, online editor of SLAM, surveys the fans choices for this year's All-Star starters and finds them worthy. Whitaker particularly approves of the fans' choice of Gilbert Arenas over Vince Carter. Whitaker writes that Carter hasn't improved since his rookie year, now has a "brittle" body and doesn't do what All-Stars do: "An All-Star player takes it to the basket, creates contact, makes something happen. Vince is no longer an All-Star."</div>

What kind of Insider does he know? Carter hasn't improved since his rookie year...?

lol, hasn't improved since his rookie year? That was just plain stupid. Plus, he's acting like Carter won't make it as a reserve.

Only SLAM would write something like this.

It's actually not out of the question for him not to make it as a reserve. The Nets are under .500, so that hurts. Then you have guys like Billups, Rip, Caron Butler, his own teammate Kidd, Joe Johnson, who will also be in the run for spots in his position area.

Obviously the article is bogus. 18 PPG scorer to 27+ PPG scorer, non three point shooting to 40%+ 3PT shooting, increasing his APG and improving his passing every year. Of course he's improved lol.
