As the Sacramento Kings finished shootaround on Monday morning, Vince Carter noticed music playing in the background of the Spectrum Center.
The song was by Bob Marley, or for Carter, 40, someone he’s been listening to for years. As for the rest of his team, one of the youngest in the NBA?
“I guarantee you,” Carter said with a grin, “they didn’t know that that was Bob Marley playing.”
It’s a trivial moment in the grand scheme of things, but it’s also the perfect example of Carter’s standing on his own team and in the league.
