Vince Carter relishing role of mentor

Posted Oct 4, 2012
Entering his 15th NBA season, Vince Carter probably never thought he’d be playing the role of mentor. But after the free-agency departures of 39-year-old point guard Jason Kidd and 35-year-old sixth man Jason Terry, Carter became the Mavericks’ elder statesman. Now, on a team that is currently going through a youth movement, Carter is viewed as a teacher and role model for the team’s young stars. (NBA.com)
