On May 16, Beijing time, the Nets officially announced that the team will retire Vince Carter's No. 15 jersey! Congratulations to the Flyers, Carter has played for the New Jersey Nets for 5 seasons in his NBA career, averaging 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game! The jersey retirement ceremony will be held for the 2024-25 season, and Carter also became the seventh star in Nets history to receive jersey retirement status.

Prior to Carter, the Nets had retired Peternovic's No. 3, Kidd's No. 5, John Williamson's No. 23, Bill Melcioni's No. 25, Julius Irving's No. 32, and Buck Williams' No. 52 jersey.

Carter played in a total of 374 games in his Nets career, including 369 starts, averaging 37.9 minutes per game, contributing 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals. He led the Nets to the playoffs three times, but failed to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2006 and 2007. In the Nets, Carter also ushered in the milestone of scoring more than 10,000 points in his career, and his career has also reached new heights.

In the five seasons he played for the Nets, Carter was selected as an All-Star three times in a row, and the most impressive thing for fans was the spectacular trio he formed with Kidd and Jefferson. Carter and Kidd even had a triple-double together in the same game, comparable to the "Jordan Pippen" duo of the year.

If you want to pick one of Carter's most classic games with the Nets, it must be against the Raptors on November 22, 2008, Carter returned to the familiar Toronto and staged an incredible double kill! Carter scored 12 points in the last 44 seconds of regulation time and tied the score at 111 with a super difficult plus 3.

In the last 2.1 seconds of overtime, Carter completed the first rebound in league history! In the end, he took away a victory with 39 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists! At that time, although the Canadian Air Force was no longer there, the "Demigod UFO" from North Carolina would still flash in the sky! Everyone knows that Maddie is 35 seconds and 13 minutes, and don't forget that Carter also did 44 seconds and 12 minutes + super long three-point tie + back dunk lore!

In the 1998 draft, Carter was selected by the Warriors with the 5th pick in the first round, and then was immediately traded to the Raptors, and since then he has played for the Nets, Magic, Suns, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Kings and Hawks, a total of 22 seasons in the NBA, played 1541 regular season games, played an average of 30.1 minutes per game, contributed 16.7 points, 3.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1 steal! Shooting 43.5 percent from the field.

Carter is known in the NBA for his gorgeous dunk moves and is known as a "half-man and half-god" by fans. Carter won the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest with his most iconic reflexive windmill dunk, and he was an All-Star eight times, three in 2000 and two in 2001.

On May 6, 1999, the Raptors sat at home to face the Cavaliers! Carter staged an incredible turn 360-degree one-handed dunk in the counterattack! This dunk is also one of Carter's actual dunk masterpieces.

In April, the NBA officially announced the full list of 13 people in this year's Naismith Hall of Fame, and Carter was one of them! In this regard, the Internet talked about that familiar topic again, without an NBA championship, why could Carter be inducted into the Hall of Fame? Just by virtue of his influence in the NBA.

Commenting on his induction into the Hall of Fame, Carter said, "I don't care what the outside world says, I used to think I didn't make it to the Hall of Fame, and now it's great to be selected!" Asked who would be the inductee to his Hall of Fame, Carter said, "I'm not going to reveal everybody, but I'm sure Maddie will be there, and he's one of the questions I asked, and Maddie said he's been waiting for me to call." ”

Bless Carter! It's up to you guys, what do you think about cartoons being inducted into the Hall of Fame?
