In their three-decade-long history, it's hard to find a player who had more of a roller-coaster tenure with the Toronto Raptors than Vince Carter. But Carter's shot clanked out, and Toronto fell by an 88-87 score to the Philadelphia 76ers. That was finishing the job for me," Carter told former fellow NBA star Dwyane Wade on stage earlier this summer at Fanatics Fest. It was the last playoff game Carter ever played for Toronto, but he didn't seem to have any regrets about the trip. [During the shot], I'm already thinking what I'm going to say, what I'm going to do, how I'm going to react to all these [doubters]," Carter said.
