NBA Career Longevity Predictor
In April 2019, Vince Carter announced his interest in another year in the NBA.
Mr. Carter is widely regarded as the best dunker the game has seen, but that's not the reason another season is so important for the 8 time All-Star.
Another season would mean a record breaking 22 seasons, the most ever by an NBA player, a record he currently shares with 4 other legends of the game.
The Question is...
WHO'S THE NEXT VINCE CARTER?
NBA players' contracts are commonly 9 figures long. It's an understatement to say such an investment is always a risky affair.
