It feels like Vince Carter has been in the NBA forever.  After eight amazing years in Toronto, Carter signed with the Nets at the age of 28 years old. This propelled him into the second phase of his illustrious career.  In five seasons with the Nets, Carter averaged 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game.  While the pairing of Jason Kidd and Vince Carter did not yield the results fans and analysts expected, it made for some great highlights and solid playoff runs.  Carter’s longevity and production might land him in the Hall-of-Fame. His days with the New Jersey Nets will be a period of his career many remember for dunks like this.
