ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Vince Carter wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to Venus and Serena Williams.
The former tennis stars and sisters became the first Black women to hold an ownership stake in an NFL franchise in 2009 when they bought a minority share of the Miami Dolphins.
Carter, along with fellow NBA Hall-of-Famer Tracy McGrady and MLS Champion Jozy Altidore, were part of a group of 10 that became the first minority owners of the Buffalo Bills with a vote approving the new partners at a league meeting last week.
"Many years ago, [the Williams' sisters] started this and it kind of was a thing and it kind of got pushed aside," Carter said during a Zoom press conference on Friday.
