Nets forward Jalen Wilson wasn’t even born yet when Vince Carter began his NBA career with the Toronto Raptors in 1998, and a sophomore at Kansas when Carter retired with the Atlanta Hawks

The Nets’ retired jersey banners had since moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, so Carter made it to the rafters at Barcu0007lays Center. The Hall of Famer stood and watched the large banner with his No. 15 being raised to conclude his jersey retirement ceremony at halftime of the Nets-Heat game.

NEW YORK — The Empire State Building is joining in the party to celebrate Vince Carter's jersey retirement. The landmark building will be lit in red, white and blue, the Nets' former colors, when Brooklyn retires the Hall of Famer's No. 15 jersey on Jan. 25 at halftime of its game against the Miami Heat.
