    Literally beyond belief he's played so long. His career is older than some players I think. It's a shame he's stuck in Sacramento

    This man was the ultimate highlight reel high flyer. The fact that he is still in the league at 40 (41 in January) is damn impressive. There are 2 players in the league that weren't even born when he was drafted.

    Dirk was in that same draft, but his skill set always seemed like it would age well. I figured Carter would have been out of the league by 35.

    He was half-man, half-amazing... the ultimate player in NBA 2K.

    he was pretty good, he never really reached the tier of super stardom imo. Mainly due to injuries in his athletic prime. When he lost his extreme athleticism he was just a very good player.

    I'd argue he was a legitimate star in his prime. Not top-5, Harden-level star, but a top 10-15 player when he was in Toronto. I still remember that epic series with him and Iverson going head to head like 15 years ago.

    He is messing with you haha, in case he wasn't born, he still knows who he is. The interwebz.

    The best dunker IMO. Besides old schoolers like MJ or Nique.

    Was posting his dunk on Weiss ever since.

    It's hell to get old, but VC is doing it admirably.

    Best part is he used to be mocked as Half-man Half-Season

    He wanted to have a chance to play regular minutes for a team that needs him. Basically inverse KD
