Nets pay homage to Vince Carter by retiring his No. 15 at halftime vs. Heat



 Vince Carter will go down as one of the all-time NBA greats. And now, his number 15 will hang from the Barclays Center rafters and never be worn by another Nets player. 



Carter revitalize a New Jersey Nets franchise that was reeling from the loss of Kenyon Martin in a sign and trade with Denver in the 2004 off-season. 

Carter was disenfranchised with the direction of his club, the Raptors, and New Jersey represented a second chance for the now NBA Hall of Famer.

With Kidd throwing him eye popping lobs and his stardom reaching new heights, Carter is one of the most beloved figures in Nets history.

In a near 45 minute halftime ceremony featuring Dr J and Ian Eagle speaking to Carter's greatness, No. 15 showed his appreciation for his time with the team as his number ascended into the rafters.

It was a magical night for generations for Nets fans, and while the Nets fell 106-97 to the Heat, it will be a night that will never be forgotten.
