And just like that, and Endgame has been announced. After 21 seasons of professional basketball Vince Carter, the greatest dunker that I’ve ever laid on eyes is saying that it’s time to call it a career. Good for Vinsanity, good for the universe. Many feel that Vince should have hung em up years ago, when his most obvious skills started to diminish. Vince said to pound sand and kept playing professional ball. When his vertical started to look more and more like mortal men, Vince Carter started to show that he was more than just Earth-shattering dunks.
Now I know that watching Vince Carter the last few years maybe hasn’t been the most aesthetically pleasing, but I’m all for a guy staying in whatever league they are for as long as someone is willing to pay them. Vince signed a 1 year deal worth $2.4m last year, so yeah, go right ahead and collecting that money while not exactly playing a ton of minutes. As long as someone wants to pay you, go get it. He wants to do it one more year making pretty much the same amount of money and playing, roughly, the same amount of minutes(17.5) a game, which is still wild to me that at 42 years old he is still playing that much. He should be looked at like a genius and a pillar of how to run a career that at one time was “the guy” in the NBA. He never won a title, but he’ll be one of those guys that nobody will care that he didn’t. He’s universally loved. Not many of those kinds of athletes out there.
His farewell tour this season should be awesome with teams giving him ludicrous gifts and showing highlights of when Carter ruined their lives with dunks from the heavens. That’ll be good for Vince Carter and great for all of us.
You knew some obligatory Vince Carter dunking on the world highlights. Vince Carter highlights has to be one of the most looked up highlights of all time right?
