The Brooklyn Nets have honored NBA legend and Hall of Famer Vince Carter with a community-focused initiative, unveiling a basketball court and gymnasium refurbishment at Madison Square Boys and Girls Club’s Thomas S.

Carter's No. 15 will be retired at halftime of Brooklyn's game against the Heat. His jersey was retired by the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 2 against the Atlanta Hawks, another former team of Carter's. His Nets jersey retirement was announced back in September, so fans and the organization have been anticipating this moment for a long time.

On Vince Carter's jersey retirement night, Brooklyn couldn't overcome the Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat, falling 106-97. D'Angelo Russell led the Nets with 22 points and six assists, but a joint 42-point effort by Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith all but neutralized his output.

Ziaire Williams is looking forward to honoring one of the players on his NBA Mt. Rushmore on Saturday at Barclays Center.

On January 25 2025 at the Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets honored Vince Carter by retiring his iconic No. 15 jersey.

Brown is most known for being banned by the NCAA and NBA for his involvement in a point-shaving scandal. Due to the ban, he ended up in the ABA, making four All-Star teams and winning three championships with the Pacers. He was such a great player that Pacers legend Reggie Miller once called Brown "the greatest player to never play in the NBA."

Now in his first season as a Brooklyn Nets television analyst, Carter retired in 2020 after an NBA-record 22 seasons at age 43 and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame last year.

There's nothing wrong with celebrating the greatest athletes ever to play their respective sports. However, let's stop the retirement of numbers.
