I have been a vince carter fan for a long time. He always had a bad rap though for forcing a trade and saying publicly he did not try every play. He seems like a very different person in an interview. I forgot that he gave up his starting spot to MJ, very classy.

Interesting that the best advice he ever received from a coach was, "Be a good person first". Most championship teams have several great personalities. Great coaches cultivate them.

Love it. Seems like he really lives it on and off the court.

Its amazing to see a pro-athlete talk about life off the court. Its easy to follow the media and make assumptions, however, this interview shows that he is a real person.

With all the negative press surrounding pro athletes these days it is easy to forget when people do great things for others. This makes me more excited to watch these great stars!
