Vince Carter, 43, retires after record 22 NBA seasons

Posted Jun 25, 2020
Vince Carter officially retired Thursday, announcing on his podcast that his 22-year NBA career has come to an end. The announcement was largely a formality because the 43-year-old Carter had said that this would be his last in the NBA. His 22 seasons are the most in league history, and he became the first NBA player to appear in four different decades. (Associated Press)
