This October, the Brooklyn Nets will be bestowing a significant honor upon recently elected Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, Vince Carter, by retiring his iconic number 15.
Vince Carter's tenure with the Toronto Raptors was a defining era for the team. He not only won the Rookie of the Year but also led the team to their first playoff, leaving a lasting legacy with his electrifying dunks. However, his frustration with Toronto’s coaching carousel led him to request a trade, which was granted in December of 2004 when he was sent to Brooklyn.
Carter remained with the Nets for four more full seasons, where he was a three-time All-Star who averaged 23.6 Points per Game for the team. He becomes the seventh player to have his number retired by the Nets, joining Julius Erving, Jason Kidd, Bill Melchionni, Drazen Petrovic, Buck Williams, and John Williamson.
Notably, the Toronto Raptors have not yet decided to retire Carter’s number 15, which at present is not attached to any player.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Vince Carter for his impending honor.
