Everyone in toronto always boo'ed carter when he left... but deep down... we always love him
+TupacolypseNow your right about that best player too ever wear raps jersey
Shane Holland Caaaaaarrrrttteerrrrrr
+Shane Holland Nope that's Kyle Lowry
Fuck lowery he wasn't a raptor all his carreer all he does is brick and miss shots
Lol a yo momma joke? I'd say your the kid and you don't even have a wife your a virgin
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.
dcanemone43 u absolutely right and my number one best player too. He is d best. Carter is just blessed
im 4 years late but, these guys have impact across the globe to be honest. the three you named along with MJ and Yao have made basketball a global sport probably more than anyone else. Nobody who watches or watched basketball worldwide will ever forget VC dunking over a 7 footer in the olympics.
Kobe for LA? NO that was Magic lol
Steve Nash put Canadian Basketball on the map. Vince Carter put the Toronto Raptors on the map and kept the team in Toronto.
@@challenger516 nah those kids growing up in the GTA wanted to be like Vince, not Nash.
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.
***** I guys Canadians before Wiggins and Bennet were never tall either. I think the country as a whole just started taking the sport more seriously. It would be assinine to deny the impact he had on young players playing basketball in canada, Vince was literally the most electrifying NBA player during his time as a raptor; youths watched him and wanted to play more, canadian governments founded basketball far more, he has had the most impact on canadian basketball, more than Steve Nash.
We don't really need the Wiggins and Bennets. But still, Vince is the greatest Raptor of all time
How come there was Nash?
thats he dumbest thing I've ever heard.. wiggins dad played pro for 20 years so basketball was in his life since the moment he was born.
I don't know why people even got to correct you. Even if you're wrong or right. Stating your opinion. Happy for Vince. His number is going to retire in Toronto. Man people are so damn salty.I ain't getting any younger. But this how you know we getting fucking old. Rewatching vince Carter highlights. Just like how you rewatch dbz episode all the time
The Toronto Raptors have a great future ahead of them. Much respect to them for not forgetting the past. Great tribute for VC
Yup, they're on pace of being one of the best teams in the NBA
dwadefan4lyfe2 the way they played against the wizards, no way
*****
I spoke too soon lol
+majornewb It's definitely looking that way in 2016, but your Warriors are something special! Enjoy it, we might never see it again.
no you didn't
Go to a college party in Canada, kids still rep the #15 Raps jersey. Guys a legend here, always will be.
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.
That's deep. Never heard the father story. That's for sharing.
to be fair Carter did not make an honest mistake. He went out in the worst way, made worse by the douchebags in management. He may miss his time here but he's also shedding a tear for the way his career went downhill after he left. An in your analogy, the raptors are the father, and Carter is the son. He was stubborn and wasted his talents. I never hated him like the people who continue to boo him every time he visits the ACC, but I did not like the way he left.
Marmalada180 Went downhill? What? Vince was better in New Jersey than he was in Toronto.
Toronto: 22 PPG, 5 RPG, 4 APG
Nets: 24 PPG, 6 RPG, 5 APG
wow :') thanks for that !
Fuck Jersey.
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
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.
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
GO HEAT!
sorry, I couldn't resist.
Got so much love for Vince.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED, HUMBLE PLAYER EVER....I LOVE VC
Love you. Vince.
Vince was a WOW player. Its funny how time goes by. A great player and better ambassador for basketball. 17yrs later... well deserved.
Half Man
Half Amazing!
They should bring Vince back just to retire a Raptor.
Only problem with that is that Memphis doesnt stand a chance at sniffing a ring.
chance to get a ring Lmao that wont happen GSW bandwagon fans
now is not the time.
He will next year
DTrey FloatGoat lol that didn’t age well 😂
Vince Carter put Toronto and Toronto basketball on the map period. I came to the game tonight to see you get honored and stood and cheered for you. #Toronto15 for ever! Welcome home VC, welcome home. Thank you 'Air Canada'
So. Many. Memories!
Vincanity was always one of my faves. I had the pleasure of watching him play when he played with the Nets
I love Vince!!! I loved his time with my Mavs I wish he was still here. He deserves all of that ovation. I will always be a fan of VINSANITY!!!
This man build basketball court in my block Dixon for the youth Toronto always love you Vince
Suuqa Bakaaraha awww. GOD LOVES u ok. Vince loves u too
the reason the raptors exist today
He put the Raptors on the map. The original air canada. It's about time we paid tribute!
It took 10 years for us to realize that when you cheer Vince, the Raps actually win against him!
Hands down my favorite player of all time!!!!
10 years later, finally some closure for VC. He deserved that ovation. I used to be one to boo him, but time heals all wounds.
I don't blame Vince for leaving Toronto the way he did, and i don't blame the fans for booing him for many years...but the fact is that there was just a lot of misunderstandings and frustration on both sides. Vince was a victim of a lot of media bullshit, and I'm happy it got resolved. I look forward to seeing him get inducted into the Hall of Fame
Much deserved. Vince put that franchise on the map.
It meant so much for him to get this forgiveness. Feeels
Lifetime Raptor fan n ill always love Vince. The man resurrected the Dunk Contest.
Vince Carter is my fav plaer all time.
Vince Carter is every bit as legendary as Dominique Wilkins.
So what he moved around quite a bit, doesn't have titles or a ton of team success, but he was a great scorer for many years and arguably the greatest, most beautiful and entertaining dunker we've ever seen.
Very classy tribute by Toronto to a legendary player.
Vince Carter is one of the greatest to play the game ever. Toronto would have had a serious shot at a title if they had managed to keep Tracy McGrady, Carter and Bosh on the same lineup.
Dnt forget Mo Pete!!!!
There's only one MJ..there's only one Vince Carter! It was a privilege to see him from start of his career..Half-man, half-amazing!
Michelle Carter is looking really good. Amazing Mom...Amazing Man...Raptors for life!
He didn't cry for the Nets tribute. But he did cry here. We feel same way Vince. A lot of could've beens, but a lot of fond memories.
The time when VC on the raptors is Majestic and Iconic, period.
this video made me sad, thanks for this great video!
I love it! Glad the Toronto Raptor fans can finally forgive Vince for his mistakes. He's still the greatest Raptor, of all time, whether you like it or not.
i have a raptors vince carter jersey when he was still in toronto, not after not a old school reproduce it was the time when everyone loves him and im proud i had it bought it at that time
Some of you seem to wonder WHY they did the video.....well, this is Toronto's 20th year as a franchise. They are celebrating all season long with highlights from the last 2 decades. It is unfathomable that a Vince Carter tribute would not be among the memories presented. I think it was a no brainer that they would do it when he came to town.
If the Grizzlies drafted Vince Carter in 1998, Vancouver would still have a basketball team!
And their fan base would be much bigger.
Vince will always be Toronto! People booing and hating on VC are fucking clueless. Him crying is a fucking beauty
Congratulations to Vince on being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2024!!
Really enjoying the Carter Tribute Video along with Salsa Music.....
My favorite dunker..when Vince Carter came & stucc his arm in the rim everybody went crazy in the whole damn gym..
of course we love him. he is the guy who put this franchise on the map. he is our true legend and he should come back to play one last season with the raptors. he can always be a good asset to this team. i also think when he ends his career , he should be a part of our coaching staff.
Carter Nash Iverson... only reasons i ever played ball. Idols
As what I always said: '' Vince Carter = Hall of Famer "
That's a no-brainer
Some of the best dunks I've ever seen were performed by Carter.
All the best Canadian talent in the NBA is because of Vince Carter
This guy inspired 2 number 1 overall draft picks and multiple top 10s 🙏🏽🙏🏽
He is a global icon, and will never be forgotten,
Half Man Half Amazing........ I wish Vince will be in HOF someday even though he never won a ring. 👏👏👏
Never seen cousins put on an Aerial display in the NBA before T-MAC and Vince Carter. Talented and athletic family.
the greatest dunker of all time😢i love you men!
Greatest Raptor of all time and gave us the best memories of basketball in Toronto and all of Canada.
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.
Air Canada 🔥🔥
In my mind, the most spectacular dunker of all time.
Thanks Vince.
Freakn GOAT right here!!!!
Greatest Dunker of All TIME. Love VC
Great video have man have amazing
It really is one of the saddest breakup story when you think of all the what ifs. This guy was the hero of literally every Canadian kid growing up in the early 2000s. Unforgettable.
Greatest Dunker of all Time..Great Player.
Hope the organization makes a push to have him retire as a Raptor.
i cried a little on the inside when watching this.
No matter what did Vince do we forgive him. He represented this new team to the world once and surely To be cheered for on 20 years anniversary
BEST NBA DUNKER (for me , please dont argue)
a true raptor by heart
legendary
What an amazing player. All the special memories we have of the raptors because of him. He put the team on the map. He carried the team on his shoulders and took us to game 7 against A.I. and the sixers and we nearly beat them. The booing should have stopped a long time ago. Vince was amazing for what he did
That's as real as it gets...
Why didn't they show it live ?? Damn you TSN and your commercials
was thinking the same damn thing!
Even the grizzlies broadcast showed it
Underrated
Had the Grizzlies had a Vince Carter in the 90's they never would have left Vancouver.
That guy could have been Steve Francis, but his reluctance to play in Canada plus the infamous airport incident where he and his friends were assumed to be a rap group turned him off, and he demanded the trade. Mike Bibby was a good point guard for them, Shareef Abdur-Rahim was productive, and Bryan Reeves was an OK center, but they just couldn't make it work.
*Who's in 2019?*
No matter what vince will always be a raptor and will be remembered as one of the most electrifying athletes to play the game
I don't care what anyone says. If the raptors were lucky enough to have a guy like shaq or tim duncan to pair with vince they would've won multiple titles. Injury slowed down vince in my opinion, because despite not being as good of a defender as kobe he was a better shooter and a better athlete. Idc what anyone says. This guy if he had stayed fully healthy and worked on his defense a little more could've been the best player in the league for a few years in the early 2000s.
This is the era where I started following NBA.. AI, Vince Carter, TMAC
I really want Carter to play his last couple years with Raptors, he can still def play, Memphis just underutlize.
Vince carter!!!!!
the dunk over weis is still the best dunk ive ever seen to this day
The Air Carter Centre !!!!!
1:15 This dude drinking beer like its coffee.....
welcome to canada
he's drinking piss.
Best Raptor player of all time
The claw
carter is the greatest raptor in history.
william krueger u said it right sir
Vince Carter may be playing with the Memphis Grizzlies but to many of us fans, he'll always be a Toronto Raptor
Leo was saying he and VInce never saw kids playing ball in the streets...
Apparently they never came to Scarborough, in the eastern area of Toronto. People playing in the schoolyards, streets, driveways. It was actually a rarer sight to see street hockey in Scarborough. The biggest of the 6 former municipalities of Metro Toronto in terms of landmass currently has less than 15 or so public ice rinks out of more than 110 that the city of Toronto runs. And a couple of them are no longer ice rinks, or dedicated solely to hockey.
That's why it's so odd for me to hear that Toronto was never a basketball city until recently... because I grew up in the part of Toronto that basketball and baseball flourished way more than hockey. And apparently it was this way even before the Raptors were established. I think it's mostly because Scarborough is the most ethnically diverse population in the already diverse population of Toronto.
I wish that story was told on broadcasts more than the "Toronto is a hockey town." That may be true for Old Toronto, Etobicoke, York, North York, and East York, but not Scarborough.
We knew basketball before anyone else.
Well deserved, best to do it before he can no longer suit up. If this were the old NBA, vince would be celebrated and revered much more than he is today.
Vince’s problems were always with the organization. He always loved Toronto and playing for the city and the country.
100%
Air Jordan? Ya fck that...AIR CARTER!
Lol. Vince can only wish he was on the same level as Jordan.
corny as fuck. you took this way too literally.
Maybe just to you ^
ait canada
Air Mamba
Thank you for saving Canadian basketball 😢🙏
They should retire his number
Dawn, they MUST do that!
they obviously will lol
it's going to happen
Vince did complain alot when he played for Toronto but he did put on one of the best performances of his career, after he left we didn't hear anything about him anymore similar to his cousin mcgrady
Man, Time goes by fast, Maybe Vince Didn't handle somethings right in Toronto but we all make young mistakes, But Vince is a good guy, and you can tell he appreciates the ride. I
Well done, Toronto..
I'm so glad the Raptors fans showed some respect for VC. We have a really bad habit of booing ex players. I remember fans booing fricken Damon Stoudamire over 10 years after he left here. It's not only stupid but also gets the ex-player to step up his game and destroy us as Stoudamire, T-MAC, and Vince did on many occasions.
Air Canadá #Respect
Why do they boo Vince Carter? He's one of the best players in the Raptors' team history.
Aric Wilson Because he basically pushed his way out of Toronto, when he got traded to New Jersey , he did a interview telling the Raptors he didn't try his hardest every night , when he was there he was telling the opponents the plays the coach drew up , he even stopped dunking in Toronto. He told them he would never dunk again but his first game as a Net he dunked.
Dee Langston oh come on how could he be telling d opponents d coach's drawn out plan???how? That's a lie.
its the truth. ray allen has attested to it.
Yeah Vince could have left better but it is time to bury the hatchet. Toronto is coming up and has been the most competitive Eastern Conference teams for a while and I don't see that changing.
Vince along with other past players for Toronto played a sizable role in building that groundwork. Making the team relevant so they didn't go by the wayside like in Vancouver.
finally! he deserved it! great guy, great player.
Toronto playing Celia Cruz is *chefs kiss*
Half Man, Half Amazing!
