Vince Carter reflected on his Nets career ahead of his No. 15 jersey retirement on Saturday at Barclays Center.

The emotion seeping through the face of Vince Carter had been evident from the start, from the fourth question of a news conference hours before his jersey retirement ceremony, from the long pause — and the watering eyes — that followed an innocuous inquiry into how his four-plus seasons with the Nets solidified a spot in the Hall of Fame.

The Nets’ retired jersey banners had since moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, so Carter made it to the rafters at Barcu0007lays Center. The Hall of Famer stood and watched the large banner with his No. 15 being raised to conclude his jersey retirement ceremony at halftime of the Nets-Heat game.
