message: If I'm not mistaken, "le dunk de la mort" is actually a generic term the French basketball aficionados would affix on any impressive dunk they see fit--kind of how on ESPN one anchor might go "ooooh that's one ba-zoo-ka dunk" or something to that effect, which doesn't render it _the_ bazooka dunk.  I have removed this reference and someone added it back, rather than get into a stupid edit war, for the moment I want to ask does anyone preferably with familiarity in French basketball (I speak French, but certainly don't follow their basketball broadcasts) possess any further insights on the origins of the term. 
I think the generic-ness of the term is easily veriable, if one just go to Yahoo France and search on "dunk de la mort", many pages will come up and vast majority would have nothing to do with the Carter dunk. Tendancer 00:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Could we also add some information about his college play?  He went to UNC and how he fared there is of interest to most people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.142.2.138 (talk) 20:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: College?

message: Carter played college basketball at North Carolina under Dean Smith and later, Bill Guthridge.  During the 1997-1998 season, he was a member of new coach Bill Guthridge's successful "Six Starters" rotation with Antawn Jamison, Shammond Williams, Ed Cota, Ademola Okulaja and Makhtar N'Diaye. That season (his final  college season), he averaged 15.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game to go along with career averages of 12.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. http://www.ibiblio.org/craig/draft/1998_draft/Players/carter-v.htm
Carter also became a pioneer of the internet during his collegiate career. In 1995, Vince Carter become the second collegiate athlete (after Shammond Williams) to have a website dedicated to him on the World Wide Web. The website was developed by Seth Fleishman, and an archive of "Vince's Court" is still available for viewing. 18:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vince Carter 

message: Vince doesn't play forward anymore he's started only 1 game there this year and about 3 last year.  He is pretty much a full shooting guard. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RandyRhoadsRonnieDio (talk • contribs).
: I agree. I change it to shooting guard (swingman) Kassie 18:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a mixed opinion on this because while it’s probably true that Carter now starts virtually all his games as a shooting guard, it contradicts all of the following sources: ESPN, AOL, Yahoo!, FOX, Sportsnet, and InsideHoops.  The position on Carter’s NBA playerfile suddenly disappeared, but it was there as Guard-Forward in the past..  Because I can’t find a source indicating that he’s a full shooting guard, I’d rather stick on the safe side with Guard-Forward.  —LOL 19:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Position 

message: --15.9 points per game average is mediocre? I think that is not an accurate description. It may not live up to Carter's normal stats, but 15.9 points per game is not mediocre.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.147.152 (talk) 15:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: "Mediocre"

message: Once again, I've had to edit the section on the reaction to Carter's admission that he didn't play hard in his final days as a Raptor. Why? 
- Someone deleted two links to credible, verifiable content (Sports Illustrated, ESPN)
- Wrote about Toronto fans' "perception," which is subjective and unverifiable. Incidentally, there is nothing to perceive since Carter's own comments are essentially a confession
- Changed the paragraph to make it more Carter-friendly but also made it chronologically inaccurate by mentioning the 2007 Toronto Star piece before Thompson's comments in 2005
This material has been consistently changed and "massaged" to soften the accusations against Carter, which I've supplied in several verifiable sources. It's the truth; deal with it.Dantès (talk) 20:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Thompson interview fallout/Carter apologists 

message: Per ESPN, the deal has only been agreed upon in principle.  Per WP:CRYSTAL, we don't change roster details until a transaction has been officially completed.  Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 21:27, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Magic trade

message: I remember some years ago when he was still with the raptors that my local YMCA basketball camp i was in took us to UCF to go to this vince carter thing where we practiced basketball with him, even played 21 with him and a group of kids, got his autograph.   Anyway, if anyone can help find information on this to add to the article it'd be appreciated.   So far i've found this, which i am certain is probably the event i went to.  camp  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.138.221 (talk) 06:43, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vinsanity 

message: Hopefully I'm looking at vandalized page right now.  Mr. Carter's having one daughter should not be included in the same section as his "off the court" accomplishments.  That's borderline disrespectful to him and his family and thoughtless on behalf of the half-brained editor.  Perhaps a "personal life" section is well overdue.......... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.93.159 (talk • contribs) 05:49, February 9, 2010 UTC
:I'm pretty sure Carter's daughter was born off the basketball court. I haven't kept up with the latest in neonatal procedures, but I don't think they perform too many deliveries on basketball courts. Not quite sure what's disrespectful about it, but last time I checked, Wikipedia wasn't in the business of massaging sensitive celebrity egos. --Mosmof (talk) 04:15, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

On December 18, 2010, Carter was traded to the Phoenix Suns along with Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, a 2011 first-round draft pick, and $3 million, for former Magic player Hedo Türkoğlu, Jason Richardson, and Earl Clark.[42]
