On Wednesday morning, the Brooklyn Nets announced on social media that they will retire Vince Carter’s No. 15 jersey. The former Tar Heel, who played under Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge, played five seasons with the Nets and was surprised by former teammate Jason Kidd in a video sharing the news.
The interaction can be watched here:
