Vince Carter stuns even himself

Posted Feb 22, 2010
Languishing in New Jersey, with a team nobody cared about, Vince Carter said he never wondered if he'd ever get the chance to play in a big game like Sunday's. It's not like Nets-Cavs was going to be on national television anytime soon. But the pride of Mainland High School got his "get-out-of-jail-free" card last summer. In the final minutes of Sunday's huge 101-95 win over Cleveland, No. 15 showed why he might be so crucial come spring. (Daytona Beach News-Journal)
