Vince Carter’s Cursed Flight

In the United States, university education is a sacred element. A symbol of social status whereby some families use their life savings to provide their children with opportunities they may not have enjoyed. Four-year courses average about $9,300 a year at public universities and rise to $32,000 at private institutions. And, although in the distance it seems like an asset within everyone’s reach, it’s not. Even less for an African-American population that in the 90s and 2000s celebrated having been able to break the glass ceiling that represented the middle class for them without the need for any social trampoline. Therefore, it can be understood that graduation is a highlight in the life of these young people. Even if they are millionaire NBA players. A few weeks ago Chris Paul visited North Carolina to major in mass communications at Winston-Salem State University. Paul returned to his studies in 2020, enjoying a special day with his family in his red cap and university gown. The Suns point guard wanted the day to go as normal as possible, but the media presence exposed his failure. In a short interview for ESPNCP3 acknowledged that it was marked by Vince Carter’s 2001 graduation with honors from the University of North Carolina.
