Vince Carter is hanging in there. Haha. The retirement of those we idolized growing up is paving the way for newcomers and superstars in the making. I remember buying NBA cards as a high schooler and trade them with my classmates and would argue who's the best player in the league.
About Vince Carter, there's no such thing as retirement on his mind now. He stated that months ago. Well as long as there are good offers and still he can play, why not grab it?

Dirk Nowitzki on the other hand, I wish he will play for more seasons to come.
I remember that awesome NBA cards. I remember collecting the cards of Reggie Miller, because they all collecting Michael Jordan and I dont want to be part of their group that why I collected Miller.
NBA cards are hype here too back in 90's. Michal Jordan cards are really rare unlike there in your environment. I didn't even have a chance to own one of the MJ cards lol.
