1/14/2000:
Toronto small forward Vince Carter, seething over not being selected to the U.S. Olympic basketball team, explodes for a career-high 47 points, leading the Raptors to a 115-110 victory over Milwaukee at Air Canada Centre. Carter is especially piqued at Bucks guard Ray Allen, who was picked for the Olympic squad. Displaying his unique blend of shotmaking ability and above-the-rim theatrics, commonly known as “Vinsanity,” Carter hits 20 of 32 shots from the floor, hits all three of his three-point shots and completely overshadows Allen, who finishes with 25 points.
