How is VC soft and not Kobe? When Laker fans have openly admitted he doesn't drive to the paint frequently and settles for mid range jumpers and thee point shots?
VC is 33 and doesn't have to explosiveness he use to have.
out of 984 he has played in 852, not including playoffs. Out of his 12 seasons in the league the only seasons he has missed significant time was the 01-02 and 02-03 season where he missed 22 games and 39 games. Out of the 132 games he has missed 61 were in two seasons where he was injured. The other 71 games were split over 10 seasons making an average of 7 games missed per season in those seasons, so how is he the not durable or the tin man? Yes sometimes he lacks the motivation to be an all time great but last season with the nets he played 30+ insignificant games instead of getting surgery on his ankle that he needed.
In these playoffs against Boston he has made it a point to put his head down and get to the paint.
Some of you guys who say VC is soft probably have only seen hims play 20 games.

--Wait wait whaaa? You put Pau Gasol in the same context as Smits? FAIL.
--Pau and his "softness" was the 2nd option on a championship team.

Truth. Pierce ain't soft.. yeah he exaggerates injuries and acts like someone shot him.. but dude gets fouled like 6 times a game.. always taking it to the hoop and also taking charges on D. Not soft.

Lebron cries about every call as well as Wade and every elite, Dwight, so your statement of quantifying how much Kobe complains is idiotic. When did saying a statement is lame become a valid argument. Get the hell outta here. You have no idea what you are talking about becuase you probably didnt see Jordan play, because he was staring down the refs, yelling at them, doing whatever he wanted all the time.

Why do you think he doesn't drive to the basket? Because he's not soft, he got his injuries from driving to the basket.

dont know what to say about VC but bricking those 2 free throws is soft...mentally. also, kobe adapting his game because he doesnt have a good knee or ankle right now and shooting 50% from the field in the suns series is not soft, its changing your game while getting older and having injuries.

And then he goes on to miss 2 key free throws at the end of the game.
I honestly had high hopes that this team would inspire Vince to get a nut and ball out all year. I thought being this close would make him just push himself, and yet, here he is, still Vince Carter. What might have been.
Simmons, being the Celtics homer he is, has really no room to rag on players about over-dramatizing injuries. If he didn't at least mention Pierce's propensity for doing the exact same thing, I wouldn't be surprised, but it's kind of ridiculous how biased he can be.

I need to stop coming into S&T because I'm tired of getting mad after reading people's frustratingly idiotic opinions. Kobe Bean Bryant is soft? Kill yourself.

Difference is that Pierce will bounce back from the dramatics and dominate the game. Vince folds. And Simmons is just an idiot that has entertaining angles on the game most of the time. He's been tossed off the bandwagon for years now.

You can say the same about VC?
Like dude said, VC can be mentally soft at times and like CP said if he had the drive he could've been an alltime great but he's not. He is VC.

--QFT. Manu is not soft. But he (along with DFish) are the most active floppers in the NBA today.
