Carter Named Second Team All-NBA

TORONTO (May 31) -- The Toronto Raptors announced Thursday that forward-guard
Vince Carter has been named to the 2000-01 All-NBA Second Team. Carter
totaled 287 points including 11 first-team votes in a year that saw the North
Carolina product lead the Raptors to their first Eastern Conference Semifinal
appearance.

Last year, Carter was named to the All-NBA Third Team. Carter is joined on
the All-NBA Second Team by Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, Philadelphia's Dikembe
Mutombo, L.A. Laker Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady of the Orlando Magic.
Toronto centre Antonio Davis also received All-NBA consideration with 17
points.

In helping the Raptors to a franchise-high 47 wins, Carter ranked among the
league leaders in six different categories including: fifth in scoring (27.6
ppg), 17th in three-point field goal percentage (40.8), 16th in steals (1.52
spg), 39th in field goal percentage (46.0), 38th in blocks (1.09 bpg) and
16th in minutes (39.7 mpg). Carter was the leading vote-getter for a second
consecutive year for the NBA All-Star Game in Washington where he scored 16
points. He was also named the NBA Player of the Week for the period of
February 26 to March 4 leading the team to four straight victories.

"This acknowledgement illustrates the development of Vince Carter and the
exposure of our team playing in one of the NBA's premier markets," said Glen
Grunwald, Toronto Raptors senior vice-president and general manager. "This is
a well deserved honour for Vince and I am excited that he is being recognized
as one of the top ten players in the league."

The All-NBA Teams are voted upon by a 124-member panel of writers and
broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, consisting of 37
national media members and three media members who regularly cover each of
the league's 29 teams. They voted for All-NBA First, Second and Third Teams
by position, with points awarded on a 5-3-1 basis.
