My Vet: Vince Carter on his lessons and influences from a legendary NBA career

Posted Aug 6, 2019
Vince Carter: "My first couple years I had nothing but seasoned veterans around me. I’d say Charles Oakley was probably the first person. On Day 2 of my NBA career at training camp, he’s like, 'I’m gonna make you an NBA player and teach you this game.' From there, I was always asking questions. I wanted to be prepared and wanted to be as good as possible." (Yahoo! Sports)
