Players Reveal Most Iconic Player In Franchise History

Carter put the Raptors on the map. He was Toronto’s first superstar and was a household name in the early 2000’s. During his time in Toronto which lasted seven seasons, he attracted fans from all over Canada and beyond.

He raised the profile of the Raptors thanks to his high level of level and iconic dunks. He got league-wide attention after his legendary 2000 dunk contest. Without him, who knows where Raptors basketball would be today.

Carter’s impact during his time in Toronto is undeniable. President Masai Ujiri talked about his legacy via a a press release:

“The Carter effect is real. It was Vince who inspired kids across Toronto and Canada, who got a basketball into their hands and inspired them to take flight, as he did so many times in our jersey.”

Carter’s tenure with the Raptors ended in controversial fashion after he forced his way out which led to Toronto trading him to the New Jersey Nets in 2004. To make matters worse, it was arguably the worst trade in Raptors franchise history.

However, time heals all. Despite how things ended Carter will always be synonymous to the Raptors. Now more than ever.
