More Vinsanity on way
Carter promises best yet to come

Vince Carter aims to bring to the Nets the same game that made him a star in Toronto.
CHARLOTTE - Vince Carter says he will show his critics he is not washed up, that he can still leap over defenders with ease and look like another famous 6-6 North Carolina guard again.
"I'm going to make a lot of people eat their words when it's time," the newest Net guard said of his critics after his first practice with the team yesterday. "Don't be my friend later. Keep it like it is. If you hate me now, hate me later. I don't mind. My job is to go out there and bring another aspect to New Jersey Nets basketball."
It just may take another week, though, before Carter makes his Nets debut. He is nursing a partially torn left Achilles and ruled out tonight's game against the Bobcats, but doesn't rule out tomorrow's home game against Cleveland.
"I'm going to make sure this injury heals as well as possible," said Carter, who has not played since Dec. 8. "After this, I plan on going the rest of the season. I will return to the court soon."
But will "Vinsanity" return with him? Judging by the fact that they accepted hard-nosed role players Eric Williams and Aaron Williams, two first-round picks and Alonzo Mourning - who likely will never play for them - the Raptors clearly think Carter's best days are behind him.
Carter, who is averaging a career-low 15.9 points this season, insists he is the same player who averaged a career-high 27.6 points in 2000-2001 and not the one who missed 70 games to injuries the following three seasons.
It was during that time that Carter's star dropped like a meteor. Several critics questioned Carter's toughness, desire and at ude. Fans got tired of seeing him in street clothes on the bench. Some were angered by the fact that Carter initially didn't want to surrender his All-Star starting spot to Michael Jordan in Jordan's final All-Star Game in 2003. Off the court, Carter's every move was dissected, including how his mother had her own parking spot at the arena.
"I could accept the criticism," said Carter, who never was able to get the Raptors past the second round. "Things did go bad (in Toronto). We tried to work it out. It didn't work."
A disenchanted Carter asked for a trade in the offseason and was hoping to land with the Knicks, where he saw "a great fit."
Instead, he finds new life across the Hudson. Like Jason Kidd, who was run out of Phoenix due to a domestic incident, Carter will try to resurrect his career with the Nets. At 27, the five-time All Star says he still has a lot of basketball left in him even if some believe he will never be the same player who left fans and peers breathless at the 2000 All-Star dunk contest.
With the Nets, Carter no longer has the enormous pressure of carrying a franchise and an entire country. The Nets feel that will work in their favor.
Carter's toughest task, though, may be keeping Kidd in a Nets uniform. Kidd, who wants to play for a le contender, said he and Richard Jefferson will hold their new teammate accountable.
"Accountable is being a big part of our success and being a big part of that you have to be a leader, accept that role," Kidd said of his 2000 Olympic teammate. "Hopefully that change of scenery brings new life, new goals and everything else. We all know that he's a gifted basketball player and he will have his day to prove everybody who's doubted him wrong."
Carter is thrilled to have that opportunity with the Nets.
"It was time for Vince Carter, the person, to be rejuvenated," Carter said of the trade. "There was so much stuff going on, so much talk, my body just needed a jolt."
