Vince Carter, current Atlanta Hawks small forward and shooting guard, was set to play his final regular-season game tomorrow in his NBA career. His professional career started when he was drafted fifth overall in 1998 by the Golden State Warriors, but then traded to Toronto in exchange for the fourth pick, Antawn Jamison. They were both Juniors out of North Carolina. Along with Jamison, Vince was drafted in a class that included Paul Pierce, Dirk Nowitzki, Rashard Lewis and Mike Bibby.
This post is a bit different from the usual crap you see on Yammer. But here are some really impressive numbers that won't be able to sum up who Vince Carter was as a basketball player. Vince, at this point in time, has played in 1541 NBA games, averaging 16.7 points a game, 4.3 Rebounds and 3.1 Assists. He has contributed over 25,000 points to scoreboards across the NBA in his career and swatted 888 shots as recorded blocks in his career. Stats are impressive and Vince's stat line is not one that anyone would be ashamed of, but this really doesn't do the man justice. He has been nicknamed "Air Canada" and "Half Man Half Amazing". Who can forget "Vinsanity"
There is only one way to show everyone just who Vince Carter really was. This goes beyond the stat line and further than the nicknames. So in tribute to a man who may never play the last game that he was always meant to play... the only way to put it into words is by saying three words...
"Here, watch this."
