It's a good thing Vincent Lamar Carter didn't accept that music scholarship offer from Bethune-Cookman or basketball fans might never have thrilled to the exploits of Vince Carter. Fortunately, Carter chose to play hoops and after spending the first six years of his career with the Toronto Raptors, where he established himself as one of the best all-around players in the NBA, he was traded to the New Jersey Nets. In his two seasons with the Nets, he has proved the perfect complement to Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson, making the team a bona fide threat to run deep into the playoffs for years to come. Vince Carter has hand signed this NBA indoor/outdoor basketball in silver. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
