From hang it in the Louvre to hang it in the rafters the step is short. Because if it’s true that there’s no shortage of games to play for ‘Air Canada’ Carter wins he deserves a painting in Paris, it is equally true that finally his number 15 will be hanging to the beams of a building. During the next season i Brooklyn Nets they will retire Carter’s tank top, which will finally dangle from the Barclays Center ceiling.
And the sixth player in history of the New York franchise that will be honored in this way. Before him Dražen Petrović, Jason Kidd, John Williamson, Bill Melchionni, Julius Erving and Buck Williams. The little drama with which the Nets announced the news to Carter was very nice. In fact, they made a surprise trip to his Florida home with the excuse of celebrating his nomination to the 2024 Hall of Fame.
After spending the first part of his NBA career with the Toronto Raptors (the iconic purple tank top with the red dinosaur is indelibly linked to his name), Carter was traded to New Jersey Nets in December 2004. Five seasons – and only missed 11 games – in New Jersey, he formed a great trio with Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson. A two-time All-Star in New York, Carter averaged 23.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals. Despite no great success at the level of postseasona more than deserved award.
