The Brooklyn Nets officially announced on the 15th (Korea Standard Time) that they have decided to permanently leave Vince Carter’s number 15, on the club’s SNS.
Carter, the NBA’s all-time high-flyer, earned the nickname “Air Canada” by playing for Toronto from 1998 to 2004, leaving behind numerous highlight films, including winning the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest with the Rookie of the Year trophy in his arms in 1999.
Then, during the 2004-2005 season, Carter left Toronto through a trade and started a new chapter in Brooklyn. At the time, Brooklyn had forward Carter, who had made the All-Star stage for five consecutive years before that season, handing over three players and two future first-round picks.
Carter showed good performances in Brooklyn as well. During his five seasons in Brooklyn, he consistently appeared on the court and posted an average of 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists.
Carter, who led his team to the playoff stage after being named an All-Star for three consecutive seasons after transferring, was selected as a new captain after Jason Kidd, who left the team in a trade after agreeing to an extension contract with Brooklyn in 2007, demonstrating his leadership.
Brooklyn and Carter’s company came to an end in 2009. Orlando, which was seeking Dwight Howard’s outside partner before the 2009-2010 season, acquired Carter through a trade.토토사이트 순위
Carter, who played in Phoenix, Dallas, Memphis, Sacramento, and Atlanta even after his career slowly entered twilight, ended his long career in 22 seasons after 2020.
Carter is the seventh player to receive permanent absenteeism in Brooklyn, following Drazen Petrovic (No. 3), Jason Kidd (No. 5), John Williamson (No. 23), Bill Melchioni (No. 25), Julius Irving (No. 32) and Buck Williams (No. 52).
