While I'm not one of VC's biggest fans, I do still think its a shame that there's a hesitation in honoring him at the ACC because of fear of "the boos". But, the fact is many fans will never forgive how he left this team so not honoring him tomorrow is probably for the best seeing how it would be quite embarrassing for Vince and if you think about it, the fans too. Not really a classy gesture when the crowd is booing someone when they've been given an honor.

Seems to be a lot of palaver around these parts over the so-called “honouring” of HWSNBN tomorrow afternoon.
Last I heard, and it was after midnight last night when the final e-mail exchange took place, was that the Raptors hadn’t heard back from the Magic on whether the guy’s okay with any recognition of any kind.
My guess? No way he goes for it.
And why should he? Really.
He knows he’ll get booed – despite the fact he remains the best player in franchise history and the guy who put the Raptors on the map – and what guy in the world would set himself up for that.
And, besides, this whole recognition thing or whatever is they’re calling it is bogus anyway. Fifteen years is hardly a milestone to celebrate, the ones they did for Oak and Alvin seemed more an afterthought than a ceremony and it’s hardly worth thinking about.
