Before Sunday's game against the Lakers, 40-year old Vince Carter dunked so hard during a pregame shoot around, he loosened one of the T-Mobile arena rims. The above photo of the officials working on the rim was taken by ESPN SportsCenter's Coley Harvey<\/a>. In the photo caption, he wrote, \"the sound of the rim caught everyone's attention nearby. When we saw who it was...no one was shocked.\"<\/p>\n

Equally non-shocking was seeing Carter play a major role in the Kings 75-69 loss. The 20-year veteran scored 9 points (3-of-4 from three) in 19 minutes. His former Grizzlies teammate and fellow old man on the Kings, Zach Randolph, had a team-high 16 points, while most of the young guns on the team struggled: Stein (1-4), Fox (1-6), Hield (2-11), Labissiere (0-4).<\/p>\n
