Vince Carter Thrilled to Come Home

by Tim PovtakFiled under: Magic, Nets, NBA TransactionsORLANDO -- Vince Carter didn't have to travel very far to shake hands with his new coach or general manager. He was in town before the trade was even completed. Carter, the eight-time All-Star, was traded Thursday from the New Jersey Nets to the Orlando Magic, whose practice facilities and offices were only a few miles away from where he was holding one of his summer basketball camps earlier in the day. Carter grew up in nearby Daytona Beach, where much of his family still lives. He already has a home in Orlando. And he was a regular at Amway Arena watching the Magic through the playoffs. "This is like a dream come true for me,'' Carter said Thursday at a press conference at the Magic's practice facility. "Playing in my home town is a big deal. It kind of blows my mind.''Vince Carter Thrilled to Come Home originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:40:...
