Not too sure if it's true or not but it sounds kinda true to me. I believe Carter did reveal the play but just don't WHY he did that. Sonics won't just make up things like that and Allen even came out and say it it did happen but just don't know the reasons.
I like Allen's reasons:
“I guess you could look at it both ways,” Allen said “Either, he was being cocky and saying, ‘I am still going to score,’ or, ‘I don’t want you guys to let me make this shot.’”
I don't think Carter was cocky 'cause he clearly lost his confidence a long time ago. I do think Carter didn't want to take that shot because if he missed it, he'll get booed even harder. Or, it could be that Carter just wants Raptor to lose so that he'll traded, which he did EVENTUALLY.
Overall, I think Vince is wrong. He gets paid so much and yet he produces so little since 2-3 years ago. I don't know what his problem is but he is an all-star and he should put more efforts into the game. Or maybe he is just NOT that good?
