Vince Carter #15 Forever: Raptors Revitalize Vince Court

#Raptors #TorontoRaptors

[@barryallen6775]

Carter hasn't played for this team in 20 years and yet his jersey still outsells any other Raptor. Time to give his flowers.

[@ryansankar5661]

Real ones know he shoulda got his flowers from the fan base a long time ago

[@catregime]

Yeah I do not get the pushback…

[@Ballin-97]

💯. Although I’d love to get a Lowry jersey but Carter is the only former Raptor they seem to sell through official retailers online. Like where do fans even get a Lowry jersey or a former Raptor player jersey that isn’t Carter?

[@buenokitty3497]

"Don't take for granted whats on the front of your jersey. Cuz When you appreciate whats in front, the back will take care of itself. Thats your last name. You build a Legacy." Hell yeah I'm gunna be proud to see 15 in the rafters.

[@paperhag]

Its time to move on! Gotta show some love to a man who inspired an entire generation of Canadian kids. We can see the direct result of this influence in how many Canadians there are in the NBA today. Yes the exit was awful but after 20 years and a Championship its time to move on!

[@jasminet6124]

exactly, people need to move on. He was booed for 10 years in Toronto after he left, I think that's good enough...people need to stop being salty.

[@andg5194]

One and only real NBA Super Star Raptors ever had. 4 time All-Star #1 vote getter as Raptors. Fans around the world tuned in to watch Raptors because of VC. His exit fiasco should not diminish what he has done for the team. Team would've been even worse off, if it wasn't for VC. With that said, Kyle Lowry is still the GOAT though 🤣

[@raytran6400]

Much deserved to VC15.

[@lemotek]

For those that think this isn't deserved, he put this city AND team on the map. I love Mighty Mouse but Vince really gave us a presence

[@jer1298]

Well deserved for Vince 🙌🏻 ya it didn't end well but that's what happens when a trash organization uses the media to slander someone. There's no raps in Toronto without Vince. Guy put raps on national tv and inspired a generation of Canadian players 🙌🏻

[@curryking1]

ive been conflicted on this for sure, but now that it is happening regardless, there is no reason to do anything but accept it and celebrate it for what it is, congrats to vince carter who did bring most of canada basketball fandom into existence

[@Bilnation]

Vince Carter played a key role in the growth of basketball across Canada. Well deserved.

[@isaac_campbell]

You spelled Kyle Lowry wrong! 😂

[@hoalanho]

People who still hold grudges need to get over it. VC put toronto on the NBA map, saved the franchise from being sold , was our first and arguably only superstar, and perhaps most importantly, inspired a generation of Canadian basketball players. Glad the organization is finally giving this man his flowers

[@timlabarda5535]

The way caitlin clark puttin the wnba in the mainstream is the same way carter put toronto in the basketball map and there is no social media back then to hype him up . True legend one of my fave all time vc15

[@jrd5403]

Skip the first 1:30 it’s drivel…

[@willsumaylo6585]

I live in the Philippines and Vince was a Super Star. His name was so known here in the early 2000s and this was before the Internet. His highlights and posters were everywhere. That’s when i became a raptors fan because of Vince Carter

[@rulazigzag]

Love to hear it man!

[@SP-ve1im]

Vince made #15 cool

[@teeflight]

nah.. it's time everyone. 😈🙌

She called Vince and his family for a pic, and Superfan went up...🤣🤣

[@marknwoo]

Congrats Vince! Well deserved and appreciate all the memories. 🙏🏀🦖

[@johnnyrascal6109]

I lived in Kingsview Village for 20 years. These courts are one of the ONLY signs of positivity in that hood. Best thing that was ever done to help the youth around there. Thanks VC

[@torontoyardy]

Y'all better make sure Lowry jersey number 7 and CB4 gets retired as well

[@spectator-w4m]

CB4 doesn't deserve it. Demar and Kyle deserve it

I was 18 yrs old when Vince was drafted and I fell in love with the Raps and bball right away. He was electric and we had to tune in to see what he would do next. I really appreciate the Raps org for showing appreciation for all he did for the team. I was hurt when he left, but it's like me leaving a job and going on to a new organization for something new. I don't fault anyone for that. It's fun to hate, but I'm so happy to see Vince getting his flowers. The city of Toronto was buzzing while he was here and everyone I knew was out playing bball any chance they could. Through the good times and bad, I love you Vince Carter ❤. Thanks for all that you did for Toronto and Canada and thanks to the Raps for showing some love. We can all use a little more of it

My last raptors memory of Vince is him intentionally throwing games, while being paid millions.

[@NOBLENATION]

We didn't treat the situation right, we had never had a basketball star, masi would never let that happen, we missed out

[@scarboroboy]

​@@NOBLENATIONPeople seem to forget there was another Canadian basketball team - Vancouver - that didn't make it because they didn't have a Vince Carter. Dude saved basketball in Canada and literally helped jumpstart careers. See Olynyk, Joseph, Thompson.

[@scarboroboy]

He did the right thing. That team was unwatchable and the frontoffice was a joke. Glad he didn't waste his prime playing more with MoPete, Jalen and Rafer lol Instead we got to see him get fed lob passes from a HOF PG in Kidd.

[@NOBLENATION]

@@urbanmonk6774 the organization did him wrong, we didn't know how to handle the situation, management was a mess. There were listening to the media which was making shit up.vince was pushed out and we regretted it

@@scarboroboy true story

[@joeflake5829]

Steve Simmons recent article summed it up well, very disappointing. I could have lived with this 10-15 years from now, but Kyle, Demar and even Kawhi should have been honoured before this quitter. Terrible example for both young people today, and even the present Raptors.

[@FillGaps]

Shows the team does not have a win or accountable culture.

[@DGS2605]

How many championship banners are hanging in your room buddy?

[@FillGaps]

@@DGS2605 interesting question since not every thing has a bracket system to a championship. I will give you an example. If you are the best chef in the world nobody gives a banner for it? I can say for the area I lead in NA which is like an NBA chip is we have been NA and globally dominant for 20+ years. Are those banners or a dynasty?? Harder to say than just a sport but certainly more prolific (more like Tim Duncan Spurs than a very good playoff run up to 1 title) Thanks for question have a great weekend. More than happy to debate the asset management and struggles since the Chip too as part of the culture I addressed.
