For the second time this season, Vince Carter watched his number climb to the rafters. In November, it happened in Toronto. Saturday night, it happened in Brooklyn. Vinsanity's 1⃣5⃣ heads to the rafters in Brooklyn! 👏 @mrvincecarter15 pic.twitter.com/muUiadukzm

The Brooklyn Nets have honored NBA legend and Hall of Famer Vince Carter with a community-focused initiative, unveiling a basketball court and gymnasium refurbishment at Madison Square Boys and Girls Club’s Thomas S.

Carter's No. 15 will be retired at halftime of Brooklyn's game against the Heat. His jersey was retired by the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 2 against the Atlanta Hawks, another former team of Carter's. His Nets jersey retirement was announced back in September, so fans and the organization have been anticipating this moment for a long time.

Ziaire Williams is looking forward to honoring one of the players on his NBA Mt. Rushmore on Saturday at Barclays Center.

Carter’s family, his former Nets teammates, ex-coach Lawrence Frank, team president Rod Thorn and fellow Nets number retirees Julius Erving, Bill Melchionni and Buck Williams were on hand to see Carter become the seventh Nets player with his number retired.

On Vince Carter's jersey retirement night, Brooklyn couldn't overcome the Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat, falling 106-97. D'Angelo Russell led the Nets with 22 points and six assists, but a joint 42-point effort by Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith all but neutralized his output.

Vince Carter's Nets teammates Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson had kind words for him during his jersey retirement.

Brooklyn Nets legend Vince Carter explained prior to Saturday's game against the Miami Heat how playing for the Nets set him up for the Hall-of-Fame.

Vince Carter has called having his No. 15 retired to the rafters at Barclays Center a dream. Is he ready for the dream to become reality Saturday?
