    People seem to forget how important he was in the NBA. Whereas LeBron is a basketball icon for the city of Cleveland and Kobe is one for Los Angeles, Vince Carter was the basketball icon of an entire country, and was responsible for putting Canadian basketball on the map.

    The Toronto Raptors have a great future ahead of them. Much respect to them for not forgetting the past. Great tribute for VC

    They should bring Vince back just to retire a Raptor.

    The Raptors should've signed him back in 2019 when they won it all. What a storybook ending it would've been to the legendary career of Vinsanity.

    This is like this story about a father and a stubborn son I was told when I was little. A caring father who loves and supports his son above all makes an honest mistake and because of that, his son holds a grudge against him. As the son shuts his father out of his life, the father continues to show his support, constantly trying to visit his son and constantly sends him gifts and money despite the son's dismay. It is isn't until the end of his life does his son finally forgives him where he then puts on his last smile breathes his last breath, sheds one last tear. Carter is like the father and the raptors are like that stubborn child, constantly booing him overtime he returns and now that Carter is merely a shell of what he used to be, they finally appreciate him.

    Without Vince Carter, you wouldn't have the Wiggins and Bennets of the NBA. They played because of him. The man put basketball on the canadian hearts and minds like no one else did. We may boo you on the court, Vince, but you'll always be a Raptor.

    Vince Carter was my idol growing up. I used to write all my essays about him and when playing ball in highschool I would mimick his free throw motion or palming the ball while extending my arm and shit like that lol. Thank you Vince for making my childhood so fun

    For all of you young guns, Vince was flat out prime time considered one most smoothest and best dunkers who revolutionized getting fancy to the rim

    It's because of VINCE that I became a fan of the game. My days watching him with Toronto and New Jersey were so joyous.

    It took 10 years for us to realize that when you cheer Vince, the Raps actually win against him!
