The ageless Vince Carter was back with productive minutes off the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies, tallying his second 20-point game in the last three games after a 102-96 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday.
The 39-year-old is not only the oldest player in the league, but also the oldest to record a 20-point game since Michael Jordan did it in 2003.
Carter has now scored 20, 17, and 20 in his last three games, helping the Grizzlies back to the .500 mark.
Airborne antics are not out of the question for the North Carolina alum, as he dazzled the crowd come crunch time, taking a backdoor feed from Mike Conley Jr. and finishing with authority at the rim.
