Vince Carter

Vince Carter's legacy as the greatest dunker in history overshadows a career with just two All-NBA selections over 22 seasons—fewer than Paul Pierce managed in four fewer years. Despite playing 1,541 games, Carter never led a team past the second playoff round, and his Raptors tenure ended with a trade demand that included intentionally playing poorly to tank his value. His career Player Efficiency Rating of 16.4 ranks below the league-average threshold for all-stars, exposing a reputation built on highlights rather than sustained impact, as only 9% of his seasons reached an All-Star level.
