Vince Carter will be first to have his number retired by the Toronto Raptors

Father Time comes knocking for us all at some point and it seems like Vince Carter's time in the NBA has finally drawn to a close following a legendary career that has spanned four decades and well over 1500 games - with only Robert Parish and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar playing in more. Carter, at his best, put the Toronto Raptors on the map.

If this is how it ends for Carter, after nearly half a lifetime in the league that's the way it needs to be. The NBA is currently on an indefinite hiatus after the outbreak of COVID-19 and if the season were to restart in the not-so-distant future, it's likely the league would jump straight into the postseason.
