That same year, he received the Schick Rookie of the Year recognition and became the first Toronto Raptors players to be recognized as an NBA Player of the Week. During the 1999-2000 season, Carter was named to the All-NBA Third Team and was again named the NBA Player of the Week. By 2000-2001, Vince Carter was becoming very popular with fans and was also becoming a well-known name in the NBA rankings. That season, he ranked among the NBA leaders in seven different categories.
When the 2001-2002 season rolled around, Carter was thriving. On March 22, however, he announced plans to undergo surgery on an injured left knee. This misfortune caused him to miss the final 14 games of the season. In the 2002-2003 season, Vince Carter averaged 20.6 points during his 43 games. It was this year that he missed a career-high 39 games due to several appearances on the injured list.

What happens to all the NBA All Star signs and banners that hang around the arena/city? Where can I get them?
I'm looking for NOLA 2008 NBA All Star banners and signs that were all over the New Orleans Arena, outside, and around the city. Do these ever go on sale to the public? If not where do they go and where can I find one?

defiantly dwight howard. great player and seems like a guy who knows how to be serious and have fun at the same time,plus nobody makes his team better than a dominant big man.
Hm…that you did, that you did.
There were a bunch of players in Like Mike.
I used to like that movie =P
I think Dwight Howard would be good in a Comedy.
I always find myself speechless every time I see your work. I always rate it 5 stars. You’re quite talented. Keep up the beautiful job. ^_^V
No, not at all. I said “what if” =D
beautiful! May I ask what screen capture program you used? It’s so smooth and you don’t ever zoom in or navigate around? I just really like how the video doesn’t jump all over the place like some speedpaint videos do.
Sigh…same here.
Is it really that hard to beleive someone has tallent?
Shaq was 7th!!!
lol then i have no complaint the art is awsome
what if it really was a real photo? and he just reversed the effects? like instead of creating it, he de-creates it, and plays it backwards? lol
Probably because you are still using his image. People can still tell who the star is and you have misappropriated his image.
Who would vote for Marbury to play?
He'd probably refuse to play anyways. Lol!
expensive, i saw the all star game in denver.. and i saw the price listings.. the seats in the WAY back.. are 400 dollars per person.. and if u want a decent seating range.. itll run you up to 850 dollars.. or more. depending which event you go too. gotta have good money to go there.. BUT.. imo.. u should go.. they have a place where u go can in for free..and get autographs.. it depends.
it should go to the team with the better record cause if the players don't really try their hardest to win the all-star game and that would make it b.s. if like the best team in the nba didn't get home court advantage just cause their conference lost the all-star game
The hot DJ was DJ Sky Nellor and I know one of the songs was Hero by Nas.
