No ring chaser, NBA is still in Vince Carter’s blood

Ring chaser?

That’s not Vince Carter.

Not that the 41-year-old hasn’t had a chance in his 20-season NBA career. The eight-time all-star, who recently agreed to a one-year contract with the Hawks, doesn’t have a problem with those players who move to a championship contender. For some, the move toward the ultimate aspiration comes late in a career. For others, especially recently, the move comes much earlier.

Carter played last season with the Kings. He will play this season for the Hawks after he agreed to a veteran minimum $2.4 million contract last month. Neither team are high on oddsmaker’s list for an NBA championship.
