The Memphis Grizzlies 39-year-old guard/forward, Vince Carter, has shut down the critics who were clamoring for the future Hall of Fame inductee to be cut or traded during the preseason. Over the past three games, Carter has averaged 19.0 points, 3.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds on 60.0 percent shooting from the field and 41.2 percent from behind the three-point line in 32.1 minutes per game.
His presence on the court this season, however, as Carter has played 27.7 minutes per game this year. The only other players in NBA history to play over 25 minutes per game in a season in which they were 40 years old by Feb.
