Appreciated for his dunks, amazing plays, one of a kind talent.

Unappreciated for being a disappointment for Orlando, and generally not having a heart or passion for the game.

I didn't understand how anyone could respect him, or his game. If it wasn't for Vince I probably would've never got into the game, dude is quite possibly the most exciting player I have ever seen. Unfortunately his lack of heart kept him from being anything other than a couple highlights.

If only he had heart. He's clearly no less talented than Kobe but nowhere near the same heart.

I don't know if I'd say that now. At one point though they were of the same level, and Kobe was busting his ++! to do it, while Vince was putting forth only enough effort to get by. It kinda makes you think

Exactly; there is literally 0 chance the guy was talking about right this second

he was just saying that it makes you think if only he had a heart he could be on Kobe's level. At one point there definitely wasnt to big of a discrepancy in talent.

if i had to pick one word to describe Vince's body of work in the NBA it would be, "disappointment". he had all that raw talent and has pretty much accomplished nothing.

Too bad he and his cousin's heart pumped Kool-Aid, had all the talent to be top 25 ever.
