It didn’t really hit Vince Carter that March 11’s game vs. the Knicks could be the last game of his career until teammate Dewayne Dedmon pointed it out.
“He was like ‘Man, this might be your last one,’” Carter said on Wednesday’s episode of his podcast, the Ringer’s Winging It with Annie Finberg. “‘They could possibly stop play or end the season right here.’ And I was like ‘That would be crazy.’ And that was kind of it, and all the sudden you start hearing cheers, because I guess it kind of hit everyone else.”
Carter, who has been working on his golf game while in social distancing mode, discussed the fate of this upended season for essentially the first time, although he did say after that loss that he’s content with the quiet ending to his NBA-record 22nd year.
