A New Jersey Net’s fan finally see’s the light

This was taken from a frustrated New Jersey Net’s fan from nj.com. Here is the original post.
This VC thing that’s been going back and forth has almost become comical by this point but I really have to ask…seriously:
How does anyone see this guy being a good fit for this or ANY team?
Because when I’m watching him night after night, I see one of the most detrimental-to-a-team-concept players that I’ve ever followed in any sport. He’s selfish, lazy, his body language and on the court demeanor is everything that coaches teach kids not to be. The hell with the talent, with Vince it’s wasted talent because he will never help you win anything.
I don’t understand how those who defend him don’t see this? So I’ll ask these people: How can you not see this?”
For these last few years I always thought the Toronto fans were being a bit ridiculous with all of their signs and booing but now, man, I completely get it. He single handedly can just “suck the team” right out of your team. I feel like my own passion for a Nets style of basketball is being vindicated by knowing that others understand.
That second quarter was so great to watch; the pure flow of the game with all players contributing. And then Vince comes in and it’s all about him, slowing up the game and acting as if he was playing in some Upper East Side school yard. Ian is saying it, Spanarkle is saying it…every night on the radio Carino is saying it…the flow of the Nets is better without Vince.
So what is it?Why and how has he helped? Why and how is this team or any team better off with Vince than without him. And forget who else is there or isn’t there…since Vince has become our featured offensive weapon who not only doesn’t really play defense but also laughs it up while someone like Mo Peterson is beating him off the dribble…are we not a significantly worse team?
Take him away and replace him with a role player and it’s a team again.
Right now I’d take any single one of the players we traded for him back, straight up. A- Train for VC. Let’s go.Eric Williams for VC. In a heartbeat. A second round pick for VC. Why not? Better than having him.

…..Carter was booed every time he touched the ball. He finished 5-for-15 from the field.
Carter was in no mood to talk about how much the Raptors have improved since they traded him in 2004.
“Next question,” he said.
….sucka.

as terrible as the Nets are, its a combination of VC’s suckiness and other issues
