By playing in the match yesterday, Vince Carter officially made history by becoming the first player in NBA history to have played in 4 different decades: 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. During that time, he played for eight different teams starting from the Raptors, Nets, Magic, Phoenix, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Kings and the present and last Hawks. truly an extraordinary player. What do you think about this player guys?

This guy is resilient. At 42 and he is still going at it. It is not easy to play in the NBA and at his age, I know it is a challenge. It does not matter that he doesn't have a ring. The performance he did during his prime is still remarkable. And he is still playing so there is still a chance that he could get one.

Yeah but he's unlike Dirk who carry his team to win a championship. The way Vince played his game, I don't think he is capable of carrying his team to the top. Anyways, he can still be a champion only if he join a super team who are able to win a title for him.

There's a lot of great players in the NBA that never won a championship in their entire journey.

you can check on the list, https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1662401-power-ranking-the-25-best-players-never-to-win-an-nba-championship#slide26

Honorable Mentions are : Carmelo Anthony (2003-Present) , Grant Hill (1994-2013), Dwight Howard (2004-Present), Tracy McGrady (1997-Present)...


AND (wanna bold this one) LEBRON JAMES WOULD NEVER WON A CHAMPIONSHIP IF HE DIDN'T CREATE A SUPER TEAM.

Suddenly, I looked at the roster of Dallas Mavericks when they won the championship.
Shockingly, he is not there.  Grin
It was just already 2011-2014 when he joined the Mavericks.

Why I went this far?
I want to see if he ever did win a championship. He did not. The Nets was when he was best for me. He was totally upgraded at that time.
His ultimate masterpiece.

If he won at least one championship, it could have been different as people will love him more.
Look at Dirk, he wasn't as exciting as Vince Carter but he was honored by the City as he provided a championship for them.

I am not saying I did not appreciate his achievement, as for me, championship really matters a lot.

He is really good although he has no ring if I am not mistaken but to be able to play that long, that means he is dedicated and he has discipline to maintain his fitness despite his age. Truly this guy is an exciting player in the NBA, especially during his prime and I am not sad he finally retire but I am happy for his achievements.

Still no ring for this guy. Yeah, Vince Carter is a beast during his prime but I think it's too much for him to be still playing until this time. I am just hoping he retire to give opportunity for young players who want to establish legacy in the league.
i am sure it is only the record is what he is looking before stepping down the court as he is not actually functional in our generation now.we almost not see him playing longer and scoring very limited so maybe after this historic event he will retire finally and give way to other fresh player and will make good function taking his position.he is extra ordinary and also the teams that hiring him still even they knew his limited capacity on the court because of His age.

I think there is nothing left for us to really think about him.He made history and he will be a true inspiration in basketball for generations to come.I think that Michael Jordan is an inspiration to basketball players like Ronaldo and Messi are for soccer but this guy will be the inspiration that with permanent practice and determination you can achieve such stats like his.

Milwaukee Bucks remain atop NBA Power Rankings by taking care of business

The NBA season is in its first stretch of dog days, when results get strange. The grind of 82 games is hard, but the Milwaukee Bucks keep hanging tough.

https://hoopshabit.com/2020/01/05/nba-power-rankings-week-11-milwaukee-bucks-rolling-along/

They could still erase this record.
Golden State Warriors (73-9) 2016
I am sure they can. Just be healthy Giannis.

There is not much great of a bet for now. All are just in average winnings.

This could be the best we could get since Oklahoma is getting stronger.

Philadelphia 76ers - Oklahoma City Thunder +7.5 (1.84) Yeah, that is a low risk for me.

After Paul George and Patrick Berverly not playing yesterday now Kawhi didn't play against New York Knicks but today they manage to win against the Knick unlike yesterday that, that was the worst lead. They also made a franchise record - 3 players scored 30+ points.

Right, surprised to see the a team with 3 players scoring 30 plus points.

Paul George - 32
Mon Harrell - 34
Lou Williams - 32

Well they get torched by the Grizzles in previous games and was even booed by the crowd. So good comeback win.

Milwaukee is still on top of the power rankings and the competition keeps on getting tougher as the playoffs getting near. It is still not guaranteed that the no. 1 on the power rankings can make it to the finals though.

Exactly, but Bucks with Giannis are still dominating and they could 'potentially' be the top seed. They are again on the roll, winning five straight and the closest is the Celtics which is five games behind.

After the all-star break, it will get tough because every team is juggling for the position in the play-offs but I'm sure that Bucks will be at least one-three spots on top. And let's see if they can maintain their form going to the playoffs.

The only advantage they will get come playoffs time is the homecourt advantage of they remain on top. Other than that they should still keep the pace they have in the regular season or even surpass it. Some teams are playing in pace and are only showing 50-70% of their effort to remain fresh and fatigue free during playoffs.

They manage to win in a very close game against the Knicks which is less expected especially for those who are trying to cover the handicap. But for ML of 1.16 odds adding into any other parlay this works unlike yesterday where it's busted most of the parlay bets for them.

It is still not guaranteed that the no. 1 on the power rankings can make it to the finals though.

Exactly, however, once a team are no. 1 in ranking, that means they are good in overall and they should be favorites in the playoffs and in the NBA finals once they get it but they need to be consistent with that.

Bucks has improved this season, not only Giannis but his teammates as well but then again, the real challenge is in the playoffs and though the journey in the east is quite easier compared to the west but they still need to take care of the business so they can face the winner of the west and has a shot to win the NBA finals.

I am not entirely sure if they will give Giannis another MVP, remember last year and how awesome he played and they still didn't give it to him, or remember year before that and Russel averaging triple double and carrying his team to playoffs and didn't give him back to back.

In old times nba gave back to back but recently there hasn't been any back to back for a while now and we are talking about years in a world where narratives change per month so I guess they really may not give any back to back mvp ever again? I don't know. No kidding I wouldn't be surprised if they gave the MVP to Anthony Davis this year, Giannis had it last year, harden before that, Luka could be seen too young for an mvp and Anthony Davis just came to Lakers and brought them from a team that missed the playoffs to a first rank team which could actually be considered a MVP move.
It's possible and even Leonard and James are also possible but it will always be depends from how the medias and fans will votes for this award.
There's a lots of superstars who are also aiming for this title though it's Luka and Giannis which both are in their primes. But like what you've said
Davis is performing and helping the Lakers to reached their number one slot from the West side.
