Great article concerning Vince Carter and his stay with the Grizz, also great graphics!!!

Quote:“Talk to anyone who knows basketball in Canada and they’ll tell you the only reason why the NBA is still there is because of Vince,” says Stephen Curry. “He made people want to understand the game because every night he’d do something that you had to see to believe. The NBA owes Vince big for that.”

Quote:Checking in for Zach Randolph, Carter lopes onto the court. The crowd screams a roar that rolls like thunder through the arena. The place is suddenly electric with excitement, the thrill of possibility now alive that Carter is on the floor.

This is why Carter hangs on, to experience moments like this, when 17,000 rise to their feet and tie their hopes to him. In his youth, Carter expanded the frontiers of what was attainable on the basketball court—that was his most seductive allure—and now he’s desperate to give the fans a glimpse of Vintage Vince.
