Unintentional comedy scale registers new high, promptly breaks

Vince Carter decides that that after Kobe's 81 points its time for someone to stand up for the integrity of the team:

Carter, who matched his career high with 51 points in Miami last month, is all for the multiple high-scoring games that the likes of Bryant, Allen Iverson and LeBron James have enjoyed this season. But he hopes it doesn't send a bad message to younger players.

"The only bad thing about it," Carter said, "is that younger kids now, whose minds are easily [influenced], they are going to think, 'Oh! I am going to go out there and do it,' instead of [having] the team concept first. That is what is missing in the game: guys understanding how to play as a team.

Somewhere a lot of Raptors fans are silently nodding their heads in agreement


Update: Carter is shocked, SHOCKED that his self-centered and immature resentment about Kobe setting a new scoring record is being interpreted as self-centered and immature. His real message to kids? Apparently it was: 'you're not that good, so don't try.'
