Vince Carter is in town — have you heard? The Atlanta Hawks’ 21-year veteran, a soon-to-be 42-year-old, is indeed the talk of town once again in Toronto. Why? Because this may well be his very last time playing in front of the Raptors faithful. Sure we’ve already said goodbye to him multiple times — even watched a touching video tribute — but this time: Vince Carter means it. Well, OK, sort of. He may be back next year. We’ll see.
The truth is there is no real reason to care about a January game between the Raptors and the Hawks.
