The meaning behind Vince Carter’s Nets jersey retirement. It begins with love

Posted Mar 3, 2025
Vince Carter was so much larger than basketball. He was my favorite player who wasn’t on the Nets. His purple Raptors jersey was the first NBA jersey I owned. My first-ever book report was about VC’s upbringing. He was already larger than life in my eyes. I echoed every move he did in my driveway. I lowered the rim and tried doing dunks like him.
