Carter was the last active player drafted in the 90s. Tyson Chandler is now the active player from the earliest draft (2001). Udonis Haslem is now the oldest active player at 40 years old.

You mean born in 1980? He can't be the only one born in the 80s. Someone born in 1989 is only 31...

Vicne had a good run. He played 'til he was 43 (Born: January 26, 1977).

It is quite fitting that his career ended before he got a chance to return to Toronto one final time. He didn't deserve a final send-off from Raptor fans, IMHO. He absolutely quit on the franchise, intentionally tanking his trade value to force a trade.

Also - the whole "I'm not a ring chaser. I want to go somewhere and play" line during his final years basically translates to "I want to go somewhere and pad my stats".

Vince had an incredible career, 23 years and he could still dunk pretty easily lol.

Props to him though for wanting to play over ring-chasing.

I’m shocked!

Jk. Congrats on a HOF career and glad Pierce’s legacy is greater. That was unlikely as they started out.

Gotta say there’s a ton of competition but Vince is the greatest dunker in NBA history.

Sad to see such an icon go out without proper send-off on the courts, but 22 years in the league is an amazing achievement and he should retire with no regrets.

Lebron still performing as a top 5 MVP candidate while being one of the 10 oldest active players in the league is kind of bonkers.
