The main reason I like Vince Carter is probably cause yall hate him so much.
So it makes me very happy to see dude stick an 86-footer while sitting down. (via Talk Hoops)

On a road trip in San Francisco, the Nets got a nice little surprise after yesterday’s shootaround. (via Slam)
As the Nets came out of their shootaround yesterday, they filed onto the bus parked at the curb on Sutter Street. Suddenly, somebody said, “Naked lady!” and sure enough, there was a woman seated on a bench just across the street, totally starkers.
So, of course, one by one the entire roster piles out to see the naked lady, who suddenly realizes she’s causing a commotion and starts walking briskly — everything’s brisk when you’re in your birthday suit and it’s about 50 degrees — and when she hits the corner of Mason and Sutter, there’s a cop slapping the handcuffs on her and draping a blanket over her.
The whole thing lasted about 30 seconds. Some figured she was just a model for the art school nearby, who was on a … uh, coffee break? Doug Overton got the only picture with his cell camera, but he hasn’t decided whether it’s suitable for publication yet.
The weird part? To a man, all the guys who jumped out of the bus as if it was on fire said she wasn’t even particularly attractive.
“Neither is the Mona Lisa,” Overton said, “but everybody goes to see that, don’t they?”
Brook Lopez reportedly fell in love.
"Sure why not? I'd hit that."

It seems Vince Carter’s New Jersey apartment had a direct view of the US Airways plane landing in the Hudson River yesterday. (via Slam)
“I was just sitting there, looking out the window — dead even where the plane hit,” Carter said before tipoff Thursday night, still incredulous over the US Airways crash he saw hours earlier.
That in itself was unexpected: The Nets star is usually napping at that time of day.
“No, I was up — I was just sitting in the bedroom, and. . . .I thought I was watching TV. It landed like it was a movie. It hit like nose first, and you could (hear) the impact. Couldn’t believe it. Just couldn’t believe it.”
No word on his feelings about baked potatoes.

It surprised me too. Who could have guessed?

On New Year’s Day, Vince got tossed from a game against the Pistons after picking up back-to-back technicals while arguing a call. (via Slam)
Accounts of the incident in the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press said Carter appeared to accuse Stafford of calling him “boy,” a term that is considered offensive to African-Americans. Like Carter, Stafford is African-American.
While I’m sensitive to the tone that such a comment could take and do think it’s probably overly hostile language for even a black ref to use when talking to a black player — Vince, who has unbelievably only been ejected one other time in his career, clearly was pissed — the biggest problem here is the clear gender misclassification.
Cause if we have learned anything from poorly scripted Hillary Swank melodramas, it’s that boys don’t cry.
