Going in as a member of a team is just a baseball thing.

Vince has said he will honour/emphasize the fact his career began and flourished in Toronto. He has Nets history, but not in Brooklyn or the organization today.

"Kyle has been carrying the whole burden for us all year," says Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. "He's wearing out. Just aches and pains and finally at the end of the game we're up, and they tell him: 'That's it. You're shut down.' And they take him back to the training table and the doctor said, 'You're done. You're finished. You're done for the night. And you're done for a couple of games here .. . you gotta rest.' And then Oklahoma does their little run at the end and all of a sudden the doctor looks around and Kyle's gone.

"He's literally darted from the training room without telling the doctors, goes back on, looks at the coach and says 'I'm in,' walks back into the game, checks himself into the game. The coach knew it, the coach was like, 'Go.' And we go to two overtimes with Oklahoma. They had to sit down with him after the game finally and just say, 'Kyle, this is it. You're done. You gotta take a couple games off.'

Vince Carter pretty much made me a Raptor fan. Lots of ups, plenty of downs. He pretty much made the Raptors "cool", regardless of what people say in retrospect.

He's my GROAT. Above DeMar, Kawhi, and Carter.

And this is why Kyle should have his jersey retired in Toronto and not Wince Carter. Don't give me any more of "but,but.... he put us on the map" crap.

Excellent, and absolutely deserved. Will be nice to see a Raps jersey in the HoF, hopefully it's the old purple ones.

The man is everything Vince wasn't. Kyle the GROAT and a HOF'er as soon as eligible. Book it.

First person to go into HOF with Raptors jersey? Eww. Would've preferred to have someone who represents us well go as the first one but given our spotty history outside Lowry/DeRozan era and then the championship, maybe he does.

Vince was an obvious one but a billups is big especially for Kyle’s chances.
