Now, Vince Carter's signing with the New York Knicks was down to just one last difficult issue, which was the attitude of the Phoenix Suns' general manager.
When LeBron James saw this news, he felt a bit annoyed, even though he didn't know exactly what Shaquille O'Neal had said to Vince Carter, but he had a hunch it was related to him.

Shaquille O'Neal retweeted the article, humility in his comment: "No way, I still have a long way to go!"
On December 13th, the New York Knicks faced the Golden State Warriors.
Stephen Curry, coming face-to-face with Jennings again, showed an uncommon fighting spirit right from the game's outset.
