Vince Carter Posterizes Alonzo Morning

Before there was Linsanity, there was Vinsanity. Vince Carter arrived in New Jersey during the 2004-05 season and elevated his game to new heights. The half-man-half-amazing Carter averaged 15.9 ppg with the Toronto Raptors and finished his first year with the Nets at 27.5 ppg, which was the highest average of any Nets player in a single season. From his game winning 3-pointer in his return to Toronto to his posterization of Alonzo Morning, V.C. is one of the most memorable Net players in franchise history. He tied his career-high with 51 points against Miami in ’06, broke the club record for most points scored in a season with 1,911 and set the Nets single season record with 480 free throws made.
