Carter, the soon-to-be hall-of-famer and 22-year league veteran, spent four-and-a-half seasons with the then-New Jersey Nets. Alongside Jason Kidd, who appears in the video announcement of Carter's jersey retirement, the two served as one of the NBA's most electrifying duos of the mid 2000s.He averaged 23.6 points per game with the Nets, achieving the franchise's single-season record for points in a season.
Come next season, Carter will become just the seventh Net to have their jersey number retired. He joins Kidd, Julius Erving, Buck Williams, John Williamson, Bill Melchionni and Drazen Petrovic.
