Celebrating Vince Carter’s legacy through the Raps-Kings game

Vince Carter always had a way of making you feel things. In his 6 seasons with the Toronto Raptors, VC led fans to unimaginable heights (pre-championship) with highlight reel dunks and buzzer-beaters, all while cementing himself as an NBA superstar. His tenure ended tumultuously with frequent injuries, lack of conviction on the court, and, eventually, a bad breakup and trade to New Jersey.

Almost exactly twenty years later, the Raptors retired Air Canada's jersey in the building formerly known as the Air Canada Centre.

What a whirlwind career for Carter and a full-circle moment for a franchise icon.
