http://tinyurl.com/p5uhhm8 It was Vince Carter night at American Airlines Center, a promotion dreamed up to give out fee T-shirts to fans and champion Carter’s cause for sixth man of the year. While they were at it, the Mavericks made sure to send even more love Carter’ s way. A week ago, he said he thought he’d earned the right to return to the Mavericks next season. His contract ends when this season is over, but he truly wants to re-sign here. “The feeling is absolutely mutual,” president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said Tuesday. “When you’ve got that kind of veteran leadership, we’re a better team. It’s better for the younger guys. Those are the kind of guys you want in that locker room carrying that baton and eventually passing it along.” Carter is finishing up a three-year deal with the Mavericks that paid him slightly more than $9 million. It’s been a huge value for what the Mavericks expected from Carter when they signed him. “It exceeds it,” Nelson said of Carter’s production weighed against expectations. “And I think Vince is one of those rare guys that just has gotten better with time. He was a human highlight reel coming out. Now he’s making plays, he’s passing, he’s a leader on the floor. Obviously the 3-ball has really taken his game to a different level and most veteran guys if they’re going to have longevity in the league, you can’t be one-dimensional.” Owner Mark Cuban said he was trying to find a way to honor Carter, 37, who has averaged 12 points exclusively as the Mavericks’ sixth man this season. “The fans have been great,” Cuban said. “I wanted a reason to give them a T-shirt and Vince has earned it. He’s literally been taking over games. He deserves to be a candidate, and I don’t think he’s getting the attention he deserves, but that’s just the way it goes.” 小牛今天是"Vince Carter日" 在主場舉辦了感謝VC的活動 之前VC被問到想不想續留小牛 他表示他非常想繼續為小牛打球 Donnie Nelson稱讚VC的貢獻 說他是少數在這年紀還能維持高檔的球員 他年輕時是人類精華剪輯 老了以後傳球/三分對球隊很重要 他是球場上的領袖 Cuban說小牛迷很棒 他一直想找機會送球迷T-Shirt VC最近很棒 所以藉此辦了場活動 --
