Vince Carter headed to Basketball Hall of Fame following legendary NBA career
NY Post
Nets legend Vince Carter is receiving the highest honor his sport has to offer, having reportedly been elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
The Athletic was the first to report the news, which has long been considered a mortal lock.
The official announcement for the 2024 class will be made Saturday at the NCAA Final Four in Glendale, Ariz., with Chauncey Billups also elected, per the report.
“It’s an honor,” Carter told the Post earlier this season. “Everybody feels one way about, ‘Oh, this has happened or hasn’t happened.’ Me, on the other side, I was like, ‘I hear you, but the reality is you never know until you know.’ And to hear your name, it becomes a reality.
“It’s an unbelievable honor just to be at this stage of it. You never know what happens. Some people say it’s a shoe-in. I don’t know. But one foot’s in the door.”
Now, Carter will have both feet firmly planted in the Hall.
