It's about damn time. The Brooklyn Nets are late to the party, better late than never.
Soon to be Hall of famer Vince Carter will have his name enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this summer.
Carter is an all-time legend, but somehow the Nets organization has waited all this time to lift his No. 15 into the rafters.
This latest tweet by the Brooklyn Nets indicates that a retirement ceremony could be in the offing.
Carter has already announced, despite his unceremonious departure from Toronto, that he will go into the Hall of Fame as a Raptor.
Perhaps if the Nets were a little more proactive and retired his number and honored one of the franchise's greats sooner, he may have gone in as in New Jersey Net.
While this will be a bittersweet moment for the part-time YES analyst, many Nets fans have been hoping for this day for many years.
As has been the case throughout Nets history, they've been a day late and a dollar short on many occasions. At least Carter will get the tribute he deserves for some terrific years during the New Jersey Nets era.
