Vince Carter's jersey retirement on January 25 was a significant moment for the Brooklyn Nets despite their struggling season. The ceremony took place during a sixth consecutive loss but celebrated Carter's enduring legacy. He encouraged current players to channel the motivation he felt from earlier Nets legends like Julius Erving. In attendance were Nets players, including Cam Johnson and D'Angelo Russell, who expressed how Carter's style and presence have inspired them to rise above present challenges and strive for excellence.
"When this jersey goes up, I want this to motivate you. I want you to feel like I can go out there and get it."
"Carter acknowledged the struggles of their present, but praised the work they’re doing to overcome their woes."
