Vince Carter, at 41, not quite ready to call it a career

Posted Aug 25, 2018
Vince Carter can’t say his 21st NBA season will be his last. At least not yet. Carter signed a one-year contract Friday with the Atlanta Hawks, his eighth team, in what could be his final stop before starting a career in broadcasting. It appears to be the right mix for Carter, the NBA’s oldest player. He turns 42 in January and wants to be ready for a television job when his playing days end. (Associated Press)
