After a record 22 seasons in the NBA, Vince Carter has retired from basketball. Carter became the first NBA player to appear in four different decades. In an interview, the star left no doubt to ending his career.
“I’m officially finished playing basketball,” I’m officially done playing basketball professionally.”
The coronavirus pandemic also played a big part in Carter’s decision to retire, particularly how it was affecting the United States and world at large.
“With the coronavirus, it was taking people’s lives rapidly — that’s the big picture in my mind. I was able to put the weird ending, the abrupt stoppage of play to an ending, aside for the bigger picture. Obviously you’re worried about family, friends … as you go further on, there’s always going to be somebody close to you or pretty close by way of somebody that’s been affected by it.”
Carter is a former eight-time all-star and rookie of the year and until his retirement was playing for the Atlanta Hawks.
