Brooklyn Nets legend Vince Carter explained prior to Saturday's game against the Miami Heat how playing for the Nets set him up for the Hall-of-Fame.

The Nets dropped a 106-97 game to the Heat, spoiling Vince Carter’s jersey retirement night as well as suffering their sixth consecutive loss.

Vince Carter reflected on his Nets career ahead of his No. 15 jersey retirement on Saturday at Barclays Center.

Vince Carter's Nets teammates Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson had kind words for him during his jersey retirement.

For the second time this season, Vince Carter watched his number climb to the rafters. In November, it happened in Toronto. Saturday night, it happened in Brooklyn. Vinsanity's 1⃣5⃣ heads to the rafters in Brooklyn! 👏 @mrvincecarter15 pic.twitter.com/muUiadukzm

Ziaire Williams is looking forward to honoring one of the players on his NBA Mt. Rushmore on Saturday at Barclays Center.

The Brooklyn Nets have honored NBA legend and Hall of Famer Vince Carter with a community-focused initiative, unveiling a basketball court and gymnasium refurbishment at Madison Square Boys and Girls Club’s Thomas S.

On January 25 2025 at the Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets honored Vince Carter by retiring his iconic No. 15 jersey.

Brown is most known for being banned by the NCAA and NBA for his involvement in a point-shaving scandal. Due to the ban, he ended up in the ABA, making four All-Star teams and winning three championships with the Pacers. He was such a great player that Pacers legend Reggie Miller once called Brown "the greatest player to never play in the NBA."

Now in his first season as a Brooklyn Nets television analyst, Carter retired in 2020 after an NBA-record 22 seasons at age 43 and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last year.

There's nothing wrong with celebrating the greatest athletes ever to play their respective sports. However, let's stop the retirement of numbers.
