At 36, Vince Carter doesn't play games anymore. If he receives an elbow to the chin, incidental or not, Carter is throwing one back at your grill. Case in point, during tonight's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks, VC was hit with an elbow from Thunder rookie Steven Adams. As both guys went into the paint to rebound Serge Ibaka's missed jumper, Carter throws an elbow of his own.  

After the referees reviewed the incident, they gave Carter a flagrant two which resulted in an automatic ejection. Hey VC, next time, aim for the ribs! The refs may not notice that. C'mon man, act like you've been in the league for more than a decade.
