Vince Carter Open To Playing Beyond 18-19

Aug 26, 2018 12:26 PM

Vince Carter is open to playing beyond the 18-19 season.

“Every year, I gauge it at how I feel at the end of the year. The problem is I feel pretty darn good at the end of every year,” he said. “The media and the fans can be cruel saying, ‘You’re older. You’re playing against guys half your age. You shouldn’t be out here.’ For me, that is my goal to prove that I can do that.”

Carter signed a one-year, $2.4 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks in the offseason.

Vince Carter 90 Percent Sure He'll Retire In 2019

Aug 3, 2018 10:18 AM

Vince Carter signed a one-year, $2.4 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks this offseason, which could be his final contract in the NBA.

Carter said he's '90-something percent' sure that he will retire after the 18-19 season.  Carter plans on pursuing a career in broadcasting when he retires.

Carter said he's not interested in chasing a ring as he nears the end of his career, signing instead with the rebuilding Hawks after spending last season with the rebuilding Sacramento Kings.

"I come from an era where that's not how it was. So that's still instilled in me. And I don't have any problem with how it's done now. (It's) just not for me," Carter said.
