Vince Carter is the oldest player in the NBA. The veteran's hops may be long gone, but he can still play ball with the league's best young talent.
In fact, he showed Cam Reddish some sauce when the Hawks played the New Orleans Pelicans for their first preseason game:

It was a beautiful move that showcased how Carter has evolved as a player in his career. He knew where Reddish was and attracted the help defense enough to leave the rookie with enough room for the 3-ball.
However, this preseason is more than just a warmup for the legendary dunker-turned-role player.
Vinsanity is going to be in the NBA for 22 seasons once it begins. This makes him the first player in league history to play that many seasons in the league. It's an incredible feat of longevity that not everyone can achieve.
However, Carter managed to keep himself relevant to the league by making himself useful. He developed his 3-point shot so teams could rely on him once his athleticism left him. He became a better passer and a veteran presence many locker rooms would want to have.
However, Carter also clarified that this season is going to be his last. As much as he loves playing the game, he cannot play forever and declared that this is it for him.
Fans will surely miss Vince Carter once he hangs it up, so they better go out and catch him in games before he walks away from the game forever.
