Vince Carter has message to Britain's young NBA hopefuls: education, education, education

Posted Sep 13, 2008
Vince Carter was in town, much to the excitement of 30 assembled young basketball hopefuls from Lambeth attending a coaching session with the New Jersey Nets veteran. Carter, the dynamic 6ft 6ins Olympic gold medallist who has survived a decade at the top of the professional game, was on a whistle-stop tour to promote the NBA Live pre-season matches taking place across Europe next month and the league's new junior programme.
