Carter Finally Maturing

From ESPN:

In an interview broadcast Thursday on TNT, network analyst John Thompson asked Carter if he pushed himself as hard as he should have in Toronto.

"In years past, no," said Carter, acquired by the New Jersey Nets on Dec 17. "I was fortunate to have the talent ... you get spoiled when you're able to do a lot of things. You see that you don't have to work at it.

"Now, with the all the injuries, I have to work harder. I'm a little hungrier. Getting a fresh start has made me want to attack the basket."

People, including myself, have bashed Vince for not working hard over the years, and now he finally admits it. I think people are going to bash him more now that he's said it himself.

But at least Carter has the guts to admit his faults. It shows that Carter is a genuinely honest guy. It is a classy act. It's just a learning process for him. Hopefully he can move on and get better in the future.
