Vince Carter, Dean Smith’s final NBA legacy, still jammin’, surprising himself at 40
Posted Jan 23, 2018
At 40, Vince Carter is the oldest player in the NBA, and on this youth-oriented Kings squad (where 11 of 17 players are 25 or younger), his veteran status stands out even more. He’s also the last of a generation of NBA players coached by former UNC coach Dean Smith, who died in 2015. This offseason when he signed with the Kings, Carter knew the situation he’d be coming into.
