Was Vince Carter more of a hero or villain for Toronto Raptors fans?

Everyone knows the famous line from The Dark Knight: “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Every Toronto Raptors fan probably wishes Vince Carter had retired as their hero. But for many, he’ll always be remembered as more of a villain.

In the decade following his public trade demand and messy exit from Toronto, Carter wasn’t just an ordinary bad guy. He was Public Enemy No. 1.

For years, Raptors fans booed Carter relentlessly whenever he visited Toronto with his various new teams.
