Watch: Vince Carter Gets Emotional Over Surprise Brooklyn Nets Jersey Retirement Announcement

On Wednesday, the Nets posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, featuring the exact moment Carter found out that the organization was going to hang his No. 15 jersey in the rafters. It was an emotional moment for the 47-year-old, who struggled to hold back the tears as he soaked up the gravity of the moment:

Naturally, it just had to be Carter’s partner in crime during his days in New Jersey, Jason Kidd, who made the official announcement via a pre-recorded video. Kidd had a heartfelt message for his former teammate as well, which prompted an equally endearing response from Carter.

Kidd and Carter had some memorable times during their run with the Nets as this duo terrorized the league for several years. Now, both of their jerseys will be hanging in the rafters of the Barclays Center side-by-side. That’s pretty awesome.
