<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong>took down the <strong>Toronto Raptors </strong>on the night before the Raptors’ planned jersey retirement ceremony for <strong>Vince Carter</strong>, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> </strong>icon who shares the record with <strong>LeBron James </strong>for the most seasons played in the league.</p>



<p>After the game, reporters asked <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron</a> about the Raptors’ decision to retire Carter’s jersey, and the Lakers’ star offered a moving tribute, underscoring Carter’s impact on the sport and on Canada.</p>



<p>“<em>[<strong>Carter’s jersey retirement]</strong> <strong>makes all the sense in the world</strong>, with what he’s done for this franchise, the impact that he had in this community,<strong> the way he changed how basketball is looked at in Canada. Well deserved</strong>,”</em> James told reporters following the Lakers’ win, via <em>Josh Lewenberg</em> of <em>TSN</em>.</p>



<p>This season, LeBron matched <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vince-carter">Carter’s</a> record for the most seasons played in the NBA, though James is likely to continue and break yet another record.</p>

<h2>LeBron recalls Carter’s greatest moments</h2>



<p>Along with his heartfelt tribute, LeBron was asked to name his favorite Vince Carter moments. He didn’t hesitate to recall a few iconic plays. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nba/nba-news-lakers-lebron-james-shares-his-thoughts-on-son-bronnys-key-moment-vs-cavs"></div>


<p>“<em><strong>He has so many [excellent moments]. </strong>The 50-point game versus the Sixers in the postseason,”</em> LeBron said. <em>“The two-hand windmill backwards dunk versus Indiana on Chris Mullin and Rik Smits. The lob in preseason down at University of North Carolina, got that windmill.” </em></p>



<p>“<em><strong>I mean, there’s a ton,</strong></em>” he continued. <em>“There’s too many to name. And obviously, the dunk contest. When he shut down the dunk contest and he gave the ‘it’s over’ signal.”</em></p>



<h2>Carter’s legacy with the Raptors</h2>



<p>Widely regarded as <strong>the best player in Raptors history,</strong> Carter played <strong>six and a half seasons</strong> in Toronto after being drafted fifth overall in 1998. Carter won <strong>Rookie of the Year honors in 1998-99,</strong> led the Raptors to their first playoff appearance in 1999-2000, and their first playoff series win in 2000-01 and he represented Toronto in <strong>four All-Star games</strong>.</p>

<p>One of the best dunkers in <strong>NBA</strong> history has been selected for induction into the <em>Hall of Fame</em>. <strong>Vince Carter</strong>, a star for the Toronto Raptors and perhaps one of the most spectacular players known for his dunks, was honored with this recognition. During the ceremony, none other than the GOAT, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong>, was in attendance to deliver a special message.</p>



<p>The relationship between both players has always been marked by deep respect and appreciation for each other’s talent on the court. For this reason and many others, Jordan didn’t hesitate to attend the ceremony of induction.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vince-carter">Vince Carter</a> approached to greet <em>His Airness</em>, who was in the stands, and after a heartfelt handshake, the multi-time champion with the Chicago Bulls delivered a touching message to Carter: <em><strong>“Congratulations man.”</strong></em></p>



<p>It’s worth noting that Carter was an eight-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> All-Star and delivered a memorable performance in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, which he won while showcasing his skills with the Toronto Raptors during his prime.</p>

<h2>Carter and the gesture with Jordan at an All-Star Game</h2>



<p>The 2003 All-Star Game was Michael Jordan’s last. At that time, one of the greatest players of all time was named as a reserve while playing for the Washington Wizards. However, <strong>Carter chose to give up his spot as a gesture of gratitude and tribute to Jordan.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nba/nba-rumors-james-harden-set-to-reunite-with-former-sixers-teammate-on-the-clippers"></div>


<p><strong><em>“To me, that’s what I felt was the right thing to do,”</em> </strong>Carter stated. <em>“Go to the man himself and give him that position. Now, when I did that, Michael tells me no. He’s like ‘No, you earned it. You go ahead.’ I said, ‘Mike, look here. I am not walking out here on this court tonight and starting on this court and you’re sitting on the bench.”</em></p>

<h2>Jordan’s advice to Carter</h2>



<p>In statements to <em>The New York Post</em>, Michael Jordan recalled the advice he gave to a young Vince Carter about handling the hype that came with his immense talent.</p>



<p><em>“It’s funny, when this whole thing with the All-Star Game (VC gave up his starting spot), they’re trying to build up the hype between the two of us playing our first game against each other, he just pulled me aside and said, <strong>‘Hey, be yourself, do what you do. Everything else’ll take care of itself.’</strong> He came up to me and said that. It was just pretty neat.”</em>, Jordan stated. </p>

He’s a generational talent that could turn any team<strong> into a championship contender,</strong> but he’s failed to live up to that hype with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-shaquille-o-neal-challenges-anthony-davis-to-prove-his-worth-20221125-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers.</strong></a></p>
<p>Some expected Davis to be the<strong> Kobe to LeBron’s Shaq</strong> or something like that. But he hasn’t been the alpha in Los Angeles despite James’ constant support and determination to take a step back and let him lead for the future.</p>
<p>Needless to say, that hasn’t sat well with the fans and some old-school players, who want Davis to be more aggressive and carry LeBron’s torch. But, <strong>for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-vince-carter-says-russell-westbrook-will-end-like-allen-iverson-20221028-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vince Carter</a></strong>, <strong>that’s just never going to happen.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA News: Vince Carter Says Anthony Davis Has Too Much Respect For LeBron James To Try And Be A Leader</h2>
<p><em>“I think this is a great opportunity for AD to now take the reins as LeBron has been saying and wanting to do in the organization for so long,”</em> Carter said on his show.<em><strong>“The time is now. And if they’re able to do that, then you. I think my opinion, I think the organization, I have again a better assessment of what they really need.”</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>“I think it’s a respect thing,” </strong>Carter explained.<em> “He respects who and what LeBron James has done in the game, but at the same time, you are allowed to and you should – nothing wrong with you respecting him – <strong>but when that guy that you respect is now trying to give you the reins and wants you to take over and be the go-to guy and he can compliment you, you should take that as an honor and run with it.”</strong></em></p>

<p>But if Davis respects LeBron that much, then he should step up and allow him to take a step back. It’s unfair and unrealistic to hope that James <strong>could shoulder most of the load at this point in his career.</strong></p>

His athleticism and physical traits are still there, but he’s not a good fit for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lakers-coach-darvin-ham-to-make-inevitable-decision-on-russell-westbrook-20221026-0051.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers.</strong></a></p>
<p>More than that, and even beyond the terrible shooting woes, his body language seems way off right now.<strong> Charles Barkley </strong>says that the Lakers have taken the joy and love for the game away from him, and he might be right on point.</p>
<p>That’s why former <strong>NBA All-Star Vince Carter</strong> urges Westbrook to adopt a different mindset. Otherwise, he’ll be out of the league without a chance to contribute to a championship team, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/allen-iverson-comes-clean-on-his-infamous-practice-rant-20220509-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>just like Allen Iverson.</strong></a></p>
<h2>NBA News: Vince Carter Says Russell Westbrook Needs To Embrace A New Role</h2>
<p><strong><em>“Russ has been Russ for a very long time, and the toughest thing to accept is not now being in as a closer–you’re sitting there watching all of a sudden. Uncharted territory for him, if you would,” </em></strong>Carter said.</p>
<p><strong><em>“And sometimes it takes a little getting used to because it’s a shot to your ego. I’m speaking from experience,” </em></strong>Carter added. <em>“Starter. Go-to guy. All-Star. You get a new role and it sounds good and you buy in until you really have to buy in. Sometimes it’s not that easy and we all handle these situations differently.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“Another guy, Allen Iverson, went through those situations for different teams where he did not want to come off the bench, and he could not handle coming off the bench,”</strong></em> Carter explained.<em><strong>“And that’s why a lot of us felt like, ‘Man, Allen Iverson should have still been in the league for a long time,’ but he did not want to be in that role. And I think Russ is in that right now. And, you know, it’s either you buy in or you don’t.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Iverson was<strong> more beloved and respected </strong>around the league than Westbrook is nowadays. However, this is a ruthless business, and he was out of the NBA once he became a liability on the court.</p>
<p>So, if Westbrook doesn’t want his career to end as abruptly and infamously as Iverson’s, he might as well take a deep look in the mirror and realize he’s got to change his game. The Lakers haven’t done right by him, <strong>but he also needs to have some accountability.</strong></p>

So, maybe, he’s their most important player, even ahead of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-disgusted-lebron-james-takes-a-hit-on-the-robert-saver-suspension-20220914-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James.</strong></a></p>
<p>But Davis, as great and impactful as he is, has historically struggled to stay healthy.<strong> Magic Johnson </strong>called him out and questioned his preparation in the offseason, motivating him to be back better than ever next season.</p>
<p>So, now that he’s reportedly ready to be on the floor and dominate again, former NBA star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-75th-anniversary-team-dwight-horward-vince-carter-tracy-mcgrady-among-the-snubs-20211021-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Vince Carter</strong></a> urged him to finally step up <strong>and give LeBron some help</strong>.

<p><strong><em>“He is huge to this puzzle for the Lakers because LeBron can beat box office if Anthony Davis is carrying the load,”</em></strong> Carter said on his podcast.<strong> <em>“LeBron doesn’t feel like he has to do it all and exert all the time like when you need a bucket, when you need it to be LeBron. But it shouldn’t have to be that every night for 82 games when you have a Anthony Davis with the potential.”</em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“I think he’s been humbled now and I think he’s hungry. I think he understands the dynamic of being a Laker,” </strong></em>Carter added.<em>“He’s been in playoff games.

This list captures a tiny bit of those players who have worked their entire careers for an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-ring-2022-value-how-much-does-an-nba-championship-ring-cost-20220531-0039.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA Championship Ring</strong></a> but failed to do so.</p>
<p>When <strong>Bill Russell</strong> made his all-time high of <strong>11 NBA Championship Rings</strong>, it seems easy to say, but it is even harder to do it. In fact, <strong>Russell</strong> isn’t even atthe top 10 list of players with <strong>most NBA career points </strong>of all time.</p>
<p>That pretty much summarizes that the hardest thing to do in a team sport like <strong>basketball</strong> is to win a championship. Therefore, here its a list of <strong>NBA players</strong> who have scored the most career-points, who could possibly be at the top 10 of that list, but have failed to clinch an <strong>NBA Champioship title</strong>.</p>
<h2>NBARingless players with most career-points</h2>
<p>This <strong>NBA players list</strong> was divided into two categories. The <strong>current NBA players</strong> with most career-points without an <strong>NBA Ring</strong> and the former players who have scored the most but couldn’t won an <strong>NBA Championship title</strong>.</p>
<h2>1. Carmelo Anthony</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220808_BUS_197243_carmeloanthonyringlessmostpoints.jpg_1028332792_08f3b9b6.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Carmelo Anthony – Carmen Mandato/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most respected players among the <strong>current NBA</strong><strong>players</strong> and the <strong>NBA legends</strong>. Also, one of the most talented to ever have played the game. However, Anthony hasn’t been lucky enough to be part of a Championship-contender team. However, he holds the second place of most career points with<strong>28,289 points</strong> of all time without an <strong>NBA Ring</strong>.</p>
<h2>2. Chris Paul</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220808_BUS_197243_chrispaulringlessmostpoints.jpg_1028332792_24fa93a0.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Chris Paul – Chris Graythen/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the future <strong>Hall-of-Famers</strong> of this list. The <strong>33-year-old player </strong>has made it several times to the NBA Playoffs, but fell short the same amount. Although, he has pulled up<strong>20,936 points</strong>, he still needs a little bit more lucky to clinch his first-ever NBA title before he retires.</p>
<h2>3. James Harden</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220808_BUS_197243_jameshardenringlessmostpoints.jpg_1028332792_74eb8ba6.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    James Harden – Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the many players who are in need to prove they are capable of winning an NBA Championship is James Harden. The 32-year-old guard even lowered his salary to help the Philadelphia 76ers make a Championship-contender team for the upcoming season. He has pulled up<strong>23,477 points</strong> in his career without an NBA Ring, yet.</p>
<h2>4. Russell Westbrook</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220808_BUS_197243_russwestbrookringlessmostpoints.jpg_1028332792_299e20f6.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Russell Westbrook – Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>A player who could have helped to build up a Championship-contender team but failed to do so. Russell Westbrook has the talent to carry a team to an NBA Playoffs, but needs the mentality to win it. The 33-year-old guard has pulled up<strong>23,298 points</strong> without winning an NBA Championship title.</p>
<h2>5.Karl Malone</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img alt="" data-height="335" data-size="w:1280,h:715" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220808_BUS_197243_karlmaloneringlessmostpoints.jpg_1028332792_6623f611.webp&amp;width=500&amp;height=310" title="" vspace="5"></figure><figcaption>    Karl Malone – Elsa/NBAE/Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most amazing players of All-Time has the top record of this list. Malone has pulled up<strong>36,928 points</strong> in his <strong>19-season NBA Career</strong>. Although he made it only three times to the NBA Finals, he failed to clinch the <strong>NBA Championship Ring</strong>.</p>
<h2>6. Dominique Wilkins</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

NBA: Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and the Ringless players with most career-points - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>National Basketball Association</strong></a> celebrates its <strong>75th anniversary</strong> this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-schedule-2021-22-find-here-the-complete-fixture-for-the-nba-2021-22-season-20211018-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">season</a>. To honor its fruitful history, the league decided to select the <strong>75 best players of all time</strong>, a list that was revealed recently.</p>
<p>While the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephen Curry</strong></a> obviously had their spots secured, <strong>some big-name players and fan favorites were snubbed</strong>. This usually happens whenever you make a shortlist, no matter the topic we’re talking about.</p>
<p>Of course, some people were unhappy with some selections and seeing a number of historic players <strong>being left out</strong> at the expense of other names. Let’s take a look at some of the snubs of the NBA 75th anniversary team.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>NBA 75th anniversary list: Biggest snubs</h2>
<p>To be fair, it’s hard to make such a shortlist <strong>when the league has seen so many talented superstars</strong>. But it’s also true that there are <strong>some names who should have neverbeen omitted</strong>.</p>
<p>The biggest snubs of the NBA 75th anniversary team might be <strong>Vince Carter</strong>, <strong>Dwight Howard</strong>, <strong>Tony Parker</strong>, <strong>Tracy McGrady</strong>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/argentinian-players-in-the-nba-from-manu-ginobili-to-gabriel-deck-complete-list-20210408-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manu Ginobili</strong></a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/penny-hardaway-chooses-michael-jordan-ahead-of-lebron-james-goat-20210402-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Penny Hardaway</strong></a>, <strong>Chris Bosh</strong>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kyrie Irving</strong></a>, and<strong></strong><strong>Pau Gasol</strong>.But the list <strong>could continue</strong>.</p>
<p>Additionally, <strong>Derrick Rose</strong> and <strong>Nikola Jokic</strong> are the only two players who have won the <strong>MVP</strong> award and were not included on the list. So, it’s understandable why fans will complain about some selections.</p>

NBA 75th anniversary team: Dwight Horward, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady among the snubs

NBA 75th anniversary team: Dwight Horward, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady among the snubs - Bolavip US

<p>Even though we’re months away from the start of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>season, people can’t seem to stop talking about the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a>. </strong>They talk about how<strong> Russell Westbrook</strong> is a bad fit next to<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>, </strong>how old they are, and how much they’ll struggle to stay healthy.</p>
<p>Clearly, <strong>Rob Pelinka and Frank Vogel</strong> think otherwise. They orchestrated a roster full of veterans who already know their role and place, who have plenty of playoff experience, and who’ll do whatever it takes to help the team achieve its goal.</p>
<p>In fact, some former players believe that the Lakers’ age and experience make them even more likely<strong> to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA championship</a></strong> even if the team is way older than most of their opposition.</p>

<h2>Frank Vogel Says He Doesn’t Care About Narratives</h2>
<p>Recently, coach Frank Vogel chimed in and gave his thoughts on this controversy. Apparently, <strong>he’s unbothered by the outside noise </strong>and how much everybody wants to talk about the Lakers’ age:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I’m not asked, I’m told that we’re old…I don’t really like the narrative,” </strong></em>Vogel said on Spectrum Sportsnet’s LakeShow podcast.<em>“I don’t. These guys can play. We have great players on our team. Yes, some of them are towards the end of their career. But, they’re still producing at a high level. If you’re producing at a high level, it doesn’t matter how old you are.”</em></p>

<h2>Vince Carter Says The Lakers Have An Edge</h2>
<p>Former NBA player <strong>Vince Carte</strong>r seems to agree with Vogel 100%. He claims that all those players already know their role and that, not so long ago, all contenders were mostly made out of veteran players:</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-82">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p><em>“Oh, I love to hear it. I love to hear it. I’ve been saying this for a lot of years,”</em> Carter said on ESPN’s The Jump.<em><strong>“We don’t look at the years. We look at the player. What are your eyes telling you? Your eyes are telling you that player can produce. Not because of their age. Because they can get it done – regardless of their age.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>“I get it. You have a lot of young guys and that’s the way the league has gone. But I walked into the NBA many, <strong>many years ago when there was two or three young guys and all were veterans.</strong> A coach walked in and it was understood. And that’s what Frank Vogel walks into. <strong>He walks into a training camp now, and guys understand how to play,</strong>” </em>he concluded.</p>
<p>Sure, Carter knows one thing or two about being a veteran in the NBA, so this take doesn’t surprise coming from him. But, in all reality, <strong>maybe we should wait to see the Lakers first before ruling them out.</strong></p>
