On Saturday night, Atlanta Hawks veteran Vince Carter became the first player in NBA history to play in four different decades.

The Hawks forward spoke about his impressive milestone during half time of their home game against the Indiana Pacers.

Carter, as he mentioned, actually had a chance to accomplish the feat in their previous outing against the Boston Celtics on the road, but that obviously did not happen. Instead, the 42-year old had his historic night in their first home game of the decade.

Nevertheless, this is an impressive accomplishment that only pads on Carter's Hall of Fame resume. Carter, likewise, made history this offseason when he agreed to return to Atlanta to play in his record-setting 22nd NBA season.

Vinsanity checked into the game midway through the first quarter, as the crowd at the State Farm Arena greeted him with a warm standing ovation.

More importantly, Carter's night also came away with a W for the Hawks. Atlanta just edged out the Pacers in a tight contest, 116-111. Carter played 18 minutes in the home win, but he shot just 1-of-7 from the field en route to three points on the evening to go along with three boards and an assist.

The Hawks leaned heavily on their budding backcourt tandem of Trae Young and Kevin Huerter on this one. Ice Trae dropped a game-high 41 points on 12-of-23 shooting, including five makes from beyond the arc. He also made 9 of his 10 freethrows and added four rebounds, eight assists, and two steals.

Huerter, meanwhile, scored a season-high 26 points on 10-of-18 shooting. He also made four triples and had six boards, five dimes, and two steals in the win.

On the season, Vince Carter still has a featured role off the bench for the young Hawks. The 42-year old is playing 15.7 minutes a night in his 22nd NBA season while averaging 5.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and an assist.
