For the second time this season, Vince Carter watched his number climb to the rafters.

In November, it happened in Toronto. Saturday night, it happened in Brooklyn.

Carter spent four-and-a-half seasons with the Nets when the team was in New Jersey and was a two-time All-Star in that stretch, averaging 23.6 points and 5.8 rebounds a game with the team.

There may have been better Nets players — Dr. J and Jason Kidd — but there were none more entertaining and beloved than Carter, and that came through during the ceremony.
