Dallas Mavericks: Vince Carter takes home 2020 Sportsmanship Award

The Dallas Mavericks signed Vince Carter in 2011. They had just won the championship but decided to tear down their roster. Carter was at a crossroads in his career. He was four years removed from being an All-Star and coming off a massive contract. Vinsanity took a $3 million deal with the Mavs but needed to figure out how to be a role player instead of a superstar.

Carter made the transition and excelled in Dallas.
