Dear basketball fans, the big news is here! On that glittering Beijing time on May 16, the Nets officially made a big move and directly announced that they would retire Vince Carter's No. 15 jersey!
Wow, this is simply an NBA "Lifetime Achievement Medal" awarded to "Half-Human, Half-God" Carter! Congratulations to our big flyer, it's just so cool!

Carter, this buddy, has been in the NBA for 22 seasons, which is longer than a feature-length series!
In his five seasons with the New Jersey Nets, he averaged 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, which is as easy as playing a game! And ah, his jersey retirement ceremony will not be held until the 2024-25 season, is this to make us fans wait for the flowers? But then again, Carter can become the seventh star in Nets history to enjoy jersey retirement, which is a bargain!
Speaking of Carter's career with the Nets, it was simply a wonderful basketball blockbuster!
He played in a total of 374 games, including 369 starts, and played an average of 37.9 minutes per game! This is an iron man! He led the Nets to the playoffs three times, but unfortunately they reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2006 and 2007. But it doesn't matter, Carter also ushered in the milestone of scoring more than 10,000 points in his career with the Nets, which is a new height in his career!
When it comes to Carter's classic games with the Nets, there are really too many to count!
But if I had to pick the most classic one, it would have to be the one against the Raptors on November 22, 2008! In that game, Carter returned to familiar Toronto and staged an incredible double kill! He first scored 12 points in the last 44 seconds of regular time, and a super difficult big three-pointer equalized the score! Then in the final 2.1 seconds of overtime, he completed the first dunk in league history!
Wow, this is simply the "Jedi counterattack" in the basketball world! In the end, he scored 39 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists and walked away with a victory! At that time, Carter, although the Canadian Air Force was no longer there, the "Half-Man, Demigod UFO" from North Carolina was still flying in the air!
Speaking of Carter's influence, it's really everywhere! He played 22 seasons in the NBA, played in 1,541 regular season games, averaged 30.1 minutes per game, contributed 16.7 points, 3.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1 steal!
This stat is nothing short of legendary! And ah, his dunk action is simply an NBA signature! He won the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, and that reflexive windmill dunk is simply a classic among the classics! He was an eight-time All-Star, a three-time All-Star in 2000 and a second-team in 2001! This honor is like a string of firecrackers, crackling and crackling!
Not long ago, the NBA officially announced the complete list of this year's Naismith Hall of Fame, and Carter was impressively listed!
Wow, it's like giving Carter an "Oscar in basketball"! However, there are also some people on the Internet who question: "Without an NBA championship, how can Carter be inducted into the Hall of Fame?" "Hey, let me tell you, just with Carter's influence in the NBA! He's not just a player, he's a symbol of the times! His dunks, his games, and his spirit have deeply influenced generations of basketball fans!
Speaking of being inducted into the Hall of Fame this time, Carter is also very excited!
"I don't care what the outside world says, I used to think I wasn't in the Hall of Fame, and it's great to be inducted," he said. He also revealed: "I'm not going to reveal all the referrals, but I'm sure Maddie will be there and he's one of the ones I asked, and Maddie said he'd been waiting for me to call." "Haha, it seems that Maddie and Carter, two good brothers, are going to continue their relationship in the Hall of Fame!
Finally, I want to say this: Carter deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame!
He's not just a basketball superstar, he's a legend of the times! His influence, his spirit, his story will forever be etched in the history of the NBA! So, basketball fans, let's send our most sincere wishes to Carter! Hopefully he will continue to shine in the Hall of Fame!
