Vince Carter's journey with the Toronto Raptors has been tumultuous, transitioning from a beloved superstar to a controversial figure and eventually reconciling with the franchise. His key moments include being drafted in 1998, winning the Rookie of the Year award, and dazzling fans with his slam dunk competition victory in 2000.

Despite a rocky end to his tenure, marked by a trade to the New Jersey Nets, Carter returned to Toronto multiple times, culminating in a heartfelt ovation during the Raptors' 20th anniversary celebration.

In a historic moment, the Raptors announced they would retire his jersey number 15, making him the first player in franchise history to receive this honor.
