The longevity of Vince Carter
Posted Mar 19, 2016
Vince Carter seemed an unlikely candidate to last in the NBA while approaching 40. Kobe Bryant is retiring after this season and he’s 18 months younger than Carter. Carter remains relevant, playing quality minutes for the Grizzlies two months after his 39th birthday. One of the more athletic players in league history, he is now getting by on guile, experience, and some game.
