The Nets officially announced that they will retire Carter's No. 15 jersey next season.
Carter played five seasons for the Nets, averaging 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
As the most prestigious dunker in NBA history, known as a half-man and half-god, his contributions are immeasurable.
There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: "There are two kinds of dunks in the world: one is Carter's dunk, and the other is someone else's dunk." ”
Carter, the No. 5 pick in the '98 class, finished his 20-year NBA career with Kobe Iverson Maddy as one of the top four quarterbacks.
It is worth mentioning that Carter's parent team is the Raptors, not the Nets, and he averaged 27.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in his third season with the Raptors.
So why is it the Nets, not the Raptors, who are willing to retire Carter's jersey?
Because Carter has a very unhappy past with the Raptors, the former not only publicly applied to leave the team but also played negatively, and it was rumored that he leaked the team's tactics.
After the Raptors traded Carter to the Nets in the middle of the 04-05 season, the two sides never got along, and the UFO that once belonged only to Toronto became history forever.
But no matter how irreconcilable the contradiction between Carter and the Raptors is, they have done their best at least during their time with the Nets, averaging 20+ points per game in all 5 seasons of cooperation, and leading the team to the playoffs for three years, so it is not unusual to get the jersey retirement ceremony, which is reasonable!
