Vince Carter has never desired victory as much as he did in 2005.
It's well-known that most NBA players are solely focused on basketball during high school, with some dabbling in football at most.
But Vince Carter did a lot more.
While playing basketball, he was the captain of the volleyball team, a saxophonist and baritone in the high school band, and a drummer in the marching band. He also loved writing poetry for the school paper.
American high schools require athletes to maintain an average grade of C, and many players struggle to meet this standard. Yet Carter, amid all his activities, easily achieved a B average.
You could say basketball was just one part of Vince Carter's rich life.
During his Raptors time, Carter's mindset of "not being limited to basketball" was vividly apparent.
The most famous incident is the "graduation ceremony affair". For Toronto fans, the Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers in '01 is the most important match in team history.
