The Toronto Raptors are set to retire Vince Carter's No. 15 jersey on November 2, recognizing his pivotal role in establishing the franchise's identity. Carter, who expressed deep gratitude during a recent event, is the first player in Raptors history to receive this honor.

His legacy includes leading the team to its first playoff appearance and winning the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 2000. Despite a complicated relationship with the franchise, Carter's contributions are celebrated as the Raptors mark their 30th anniversary this season.
