Toronto Raptors to retire Vince Carter’s no. 15 | Right move, right time?
The Toronto Raptors announced Monday that they’ll be retiring Vince Carter’s no. 15 on November 2nd, and you simply can’t be Raptors fan and not have a take on it! In Episode 1712, Sean Woodley goes solo to react to the decision to immortalize Carter in the rafters of Scotiabank Arena, why it’s fine to feel weird about it even if it absolutely makes sense and is definitely deserved considering all the good Carter did for the franchise. Plus, Sean digs into his own personal journey with Carter fandom, from a 47-point outburst against the Milwaukee Bucks back in 2000 to him quitting on the team and breaking the hearts of an entire generation of fans. Lastly, Sean sorts through some listener questions about Vince, his dunks, the potential of an in-tact Carter/Tracy McGrady team & more!

What was the moment that made you realize "Oh, this Vince Carter guy rocks." ?
Masai is a genius. He didn't want Net to get the shine so he stole their thunder by retiring VC jersey first!
Don't care for the sorry. We got a championship doing it the right way and limited dunking. VC gets HOF and retirement jerseys which promotes Raptors and the ring is better.
VC returns the favor by being inducted as a Raptor. He is smart also because he gets inducted as the first Raptor!
Yes its the right thing to do. VC put the raptors on the map, likely saved the team from being sold, and influenced a generation of canadian players and kids. Haters need to get over it.
Kyle will of course get his number retired, who cares thats it not the first? Its based on when they played.. VC being first doesnt mean kyle isnt still the GROAT
VC was the first star of the franchise, that 15 jersey with the dino is worn everywhere. If it weren't for him we'd end up like the Grizzlies, meaning not in Vacouver anymore. Kyle isn't even retired yet, I don't agree he should be first, he will be eventually.
Awesome news.
