Drive: How Vince Carter Conquered the NBA FROM THE PUBLISHER
The first in-depth book on Vince Carter, Drive captures the magic of the young superstar and charts his meteoric rise in the NBA. Complete with colour photographs, and featuring interviews with Vince Carter and a full account of the 2001 NBA playoffs, which took the Toronto Raptors to a new level of success on the court, Drive provides the most up-to-date analysis of Vince Carter's astonishing career. In the world of basketball, Vince Carter is the best thing to come along since Michael Jordan transformed the game in the 1990s.
The Raptors were in their fourth season and at the bottom of the league when Carter joined as a rookie. He has been thrilling fans ever since with his trademark levitations, breath-taking body control, and the power of his slam-dunks. His transcendent talent prompted media commentators to coin a new word, "Vinsanity," to describe his incredible skills.
Carter led the gold medal US team in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, and has been the leading vote-getter for the last two NBA all-star games -- a clear reflection of his intense popularity with the fans. By following the trajectory of Carter's career from its origins in a Florida high school, and tracking his remarkable achievements throughout the entire 2000-2001 NBA season, veteran sports writer Chris Young demonstrates how one star can turn around not only a single team but the entire NBA.
