Why Whiners Aren't Winners

"What can he do next year? Win another championship? Be the
M.V.P. again? It's boring. I'm nosy. I'd like to know why he's staying. Because
it's not the norm anymore."


-Vince Carter, on Sean May

Vin, Vinny, Vince, my man, you're an idiot. You took your team to two consecutive Final Fours and then opted out after junior year. You came in and took the NBA by storm in your first three seasons. Since then, you've been a crybaby, a whiner, a loser and a nobody. You quit on your team in Toronto and you admitted it. Now you're in New Jersey playing for a team that is anonymous in the league and in its own home market. You might be a millionaire but you're a worthless piece of shit. If winning one title and an MVP in the same season is enough for you to say that trying for another is "boring" then all I can say is I hope you never win a title just so you can stay focused and sharp. Keep on clawing back up the ladder of relevance pal, I'm sure this is more fun than, say, winning anything.

Sean May, if you're listening, don't take Uncle Vince's advice. It's great that you're staying in school. No matter what happens, you're a winner and they can't take that away from you. You're going to be the #1 draft pick in 2006 and you're going to be a better player in the NBA for sticking around with Coach Williams. Maybe one day when you and Vince are squaring off in The Show, you can let him know that you're still hungry to win because you've seen the top and you want more.
