Vince Carter is a legendary figure in the NBA pantheon for his spectacular dunks and putting the Toronto Raptors on his back during the beginning stages of his career. Now having played 21 seasons in the NBA, last suiting up for the Atlanta Hawks, Carter has signaled that his next season, that will see him break the record for most seasons played by an NBA player, will be his last.
Appearing on ESPN’s The Jump, Carter said he had “one more run” left in him.
