9-73 Sixers don't define Fred Carter
FRED CARTER doesn't mind being remembered as a loser. He embraces the idea.
Actually, he embraces the idea of being remembered - period. One wouldn't think that by the way Carter played the game, that he'd even entertain being associated with a loser's legacy. After all, he was nicknamed Mad Dog after biting Bullets teammate Ray Scott during a practice. But Carter's logic is that it's always good to be remembered for something. And if it's being remembered as the best player on the worst team in the history of the NBA, so be it.
Which is why whenever a team comes close to approaching the 1972-73 Sixers' 9-73 record of ineptness, Carter gets nervous. They might forget about him.
