The Toronto Raptors will retire the No. 15 jersey of Vince Carter on Nov. 2nd when they play the Sacramento Kings. Carter will be the first player in Raptors' history to have his jersey retired.
Carter was acquired in a draft night trade in 1998 and quickly became one of the NBA's most popular players when he won Rookie of the Year and subsequently the Dunk Contest in 2000. Carter led the Raptors to the second round in 2001, but requested a trade from the franchise in 2004.
Carter has said that he plans to represent Toronto when he is officially enshrined as a Hall of Famer the weekend of Oct. 12.
