The emotion seeping through the face of Vince Carter had been evident from the start, from the fourth question of a news conference hours before his jersey retirement ceremony, from the long pause — and the watering eyes — that followed an innocuous inquiry into how his four-plus seasons with the Nets solidified a spot in the Hall of Fame.

The 2025 season has been a seismic one for teams retiring Hall of Fame guard Vince Carter's jersey. First up were the Toronto Raptors, who hoisted Carter's familiar No. 15 to the rafters back on Nov. 2. Then, on Saturday, the Brooklyn Nets did likewise.

After becoming a Hall of Famer in October and the first player to have his jersey retired by the Toronto Raptors in November, Vince Carter watched his No. 15 Nets jersey rise to rafters at Barclays Center on Saturday.
