Vince Carter's FINAL shot - VS Knicks, March 11th, 2020
11Vince Carter knew the end was coming.
Yet it still strange to consider, that he might not get the final month of his long, brilliant career.
In one of the last games before the NBA suspended the season -- and with no indication when it might resume -- Carter came off the bench for the Atlanta Hawks in the closing seconds to sink an uncontested 3-pointer that finished off a 136-131 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night.
For a 43-year-old player in the final season of a record 22-year career, the significance of the moment was both "weird" and a bit overwhelming.
Carter dabbed at his eyes, struggling to contain his emotions.
"If it ended today, this is something I'll always remember," he said. "At least I made my last basket."
