The Brooklyn Nets have had some great players come through the franchise since even before the team moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn. The organization was able to do something special for one of its former players by retiring Vince Carter's number during Saturday's game against the Miami Heat and he explained how his time with the team set him up to be a Hall-of-Famer.

Carter’s family, his former Nets teammates, ex-coach Lawrence Frank, team president Rod Thorn and fellow Nets number retirees Julius Erving, Bill Melchionni and Buck Williams were on hand to see Carter become the seventh Nets player with his number retired.

Carter's number 15 was raised to the rafters Saturday with legends Buck Williams and Julius Erving in attendance.

Prior to the Brooklyn Nets retiring Vince Carter's jersey, Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson, and Jordi Fernandez give their various thoughts on him.

Tyler Herro scored 25 points, Bam Adebayo had 17 points and 15 rebounds, and the Miami Heat beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-97 on Saturday night.

Carter's No. 15 will be retired at halftime of Brooklyn's game against the Heat. His jersey was retired by the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 2 against the Atlanta Hawks, another former team of Carter's. His Nets jersey retirement was announced back in September, so fans and the organization have been anticipating this moment for a long time.

Ziaire Williams is looking forward to honoring one of the players on his NBA Mt. Rushmore on Saturday at Barclays Center.

Vince Carter became the seventh Nets player to have his number retired, something he labeled as "insane." "It is an honor to be up there with you gentlemen," he said.
