The time has come for NBA veteran Vince Carter. After 22 years, he’s calling it a career.
"I'm officially finished playing basketball," Carter said. "I'm officially done playing basketball professionally."
Carter, who has been with the Atlanta Hawks for the past two seasons, was already done playing for the year as the 20-47 Hawks were eliminated from the NBA’s 22-team Orlando restart.
Over 22 seasons, Carter has spent time with eight different teams and is No. 19 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Drafted by the Golden State Warriors in 1998 with the fifth overall pick, he was traded almost immediately to the Toronto Raptors.
