possibilities (n.) - a future prospect or potential
Via Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel:
[Vince] Carter might take more suspect shots, clang his way to other 2-for-13s and invoke more mourning of the loss of [Hedo] Turkoglu. It doesn't matter.
Because [...] Carter offered up more than points; he offered up possibility.
He doesn't have to be 48-points great again. If "Half-Man, Half-Amazing" can be just half that good at times, he can create possibilities for the Magic that extend into late spring, early summer.
