Vince Carter explains why he signed with Kings instead of title contender

Posted Sep 28, 2017
Vince Carter has played in the NBA for 19 years. He's been the postseason 11 times. But he's never won an NBA title. With his career winding down, no one would have faulted the eight-time All-Star if he signed with a contender in pursuit of that elusive ring. Instead, the 40-year-old Carter signed a one-year deal with the rebuilding Kings worth $8 million. (CSN Bay Area)
