Vince Carter’s Jersey BELONGS In Toronto’s Rafters
To some Raptors fans, the resentment from Carter’s contentious exit still lingers two decades later, making the team’s decision to honor the hall of famer more controversial than you might think.
But c’mon. This is a no-brainer. The time is now to finally hang Carter’s jersey.

To me, Vince Carter is still the greatest Raptor. No other Raptor has played like he did.
The fans us we love VC the media and people around the media talk nonsense but as a Long Life Raptor fan this is amazing we’ll deserve 100%
No!!!!!!!! They shouldn't do it ,man .. if it wasn't for the dunk contest ,we won't be talking about him
Raptors should retire Leonard number.
Toronto Rafters 🏀
Statue for KLow
Bout time.
It's not no brainer – I respect Carter's impact on Canadian basketball, but I still don't like his half-assed approach to the game, and for what he did at 2007 nets vs raptors series (yes, it's been a while but still)
He was the best Raptor ever..
Sorry, Lowry's jersey goes up first.
I’m sorry I just remember this dude seeing the franchise back 20
Years, quiting etc. but hey ok give anyone a retirement at this point
I get the argument that Kyle Lowry's jersey needed to be retired first but K Low is an active player. Both team and player need to set the acrimony aside and celebrate an amazing career by finally retiring Vince Carter's jersey.
Doesn't matter about the controversies. Vince single handily was the main reasons there are so many Canadians basketball stars nowadays. He put the Raptors/Toronto on the map. He will always be link as one of the greatest iconic player to ever wore a Raptors jersey.
No matter how most fans hated Vince's last years in Toronto, the Raptors still decided to retire his jersey. SONDON't be surprised when OKC retires KD's 35
1:15 (Milwaukee’s return for Kareem was way worse)
FOFF ..Vinsanity is the best Raptor ever. It's not even close. He was a true Superstar. He is the one everyone in the league wanted to see. KD's fav player growing up. Kyle was a borderline all-star. Kawhi was here 1 season and look at him now in Clippers. Noone comes close. He was the first to resign with the Raprots and he never wanted to leave and Raptors management pushed him out. Fickle or new fans contorlled by media don't know crap!
If Vince had the team Kawhi had he'd win 3 chips
The hate was warranted but if there was no Vince Carter then it may have taken another 10+ years for Toronto to REALLY embrace the raps
Vince may not have the longevity stats, but he is the raptors all-time leading score in points per game as well as player efficiency.
The arguments in this video are awful.
The last thing Vince ever did in a Raps uniform was tell the other team the play we were going to run. You don't forgive that. You don't hang that in the rafters. He doesn't deserve it.
Salty fans gotta let it go. Carter was their guy back in the day.
8994 days ago, I was a kid watching the NBA All Star weekend for the first time. I was mesmerized by one guy in a purple jersey, and decided then and there that was the team I was going to support. Im brazilian, I never step a foot on Canada, and still, 24 years later Im still a die hard Raptors fan.
The impact Carter had went way beyond Toronto or even the canadian borders.
Toronto did him no favors in team mates. I am sure they would have folded if not for the spot light he brought.
Love him or hate him he helped put Toronto on the map.
Vince carter is like the biggest star to have ever played for toronto the only contenders is demar and lowry and the one year rental kawhi
Edit i am gonna be honest i forgot chris bosh played for Toronto
Corrections white boy, vc is the best raptor of all time
he is toronto that time….well deserved
He quit on the Raptors
In spite all the shenanigans that led to his trade, Vince Carter was the guy who made Toronto embrace the Raptors. That itself would warrant the franchise to remember him.
VC was great in the good times, but I hated him once he became a star with the Nets. Unlike most players who leave on bad terms, he tried to reconnect with Toronto, even making a documentary for us, not New Jersey. He's made it known he loves Toronto on numerous occasions. It's been 20 years—I'm ready to forgive the guy and give him a break. We've roasted him long enough.
nah, this bum quit on the team and we won a chip anyway…lowry derozan kawhi deserve their numbers retired
It should go Vince, Kawhi, DeMar, Lowry
