Warning: you will wince. It looks painful

Vince Carter shoulders in like a rhino into the guy who's in mid air causing him to land very awkwardly

That's awful! I really hope it turns out to be not as bad as it looks. It would be really terrible to see any NBA player paralyzed from something like this, especially a young guy like Mccaw.

Everyone was mad at Vince for that. Even Steve Kerr who thought Vince knew better. Kerr should also be mad at Zaza Pachulia, then.

Anyways, hoping McCaw has a speedy recovery. Sucks watching players go down like that. For the Celtics...Gordon Hayward, and the more recent case, Jaylen Brown. Chills.

Looked like he may have broken his coccyx, and sprained the heck out of his right ankle.  Hopefully it's nothing more than that, especially with the spine. 

As SW mentioned, it;s interesting that Kerr shouted he was "mad at Vince" with Zaza on his roster. 

It also seemed unintentional.  Vince  looked like he felt pretty guilty about it after the play. It actually made me like him more and he respects the unspoken code of ethics.

Looked to me like Carter barely touched him. And Carter doesn't have a bad reputation, so I think this was 100% an unfortunate accident. Hopefully McCaw's okay.
