In rookie season with Kings, Justin Jackson learning plenty from 'Mr. Carter'
Posted Feb 13, 2018
Vince Carter and Justin Jackson are bound together by their alma mater, but until last summer, the 41-year-old veteran of 20 NBA seasons and 22-year-old rookie had never met. That changed during Sacramento's Summer League. "As soon as I signed with the team, the first text message I received was from Justin Jackson, and he called me, 'Mr. Carter,'" Vince Carter said.
