At 42, Vince Carter continues to be a solid performer in the NBA. During the 18-19 season, the Atlanta Hawks forward averaged 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 17.5 minutes per game, also shooting nearly 40% from three-point range.

Carter is an upcoming unrestricted free agent, and during Wednesday's edition of ESPN's The Jump, the veteran revealed that the 19-20 season would be his last. If Carter finds a team for the 22nd and final season of his career, he will hold the record for most seasons played in league history.

Between 2000-2007, Carter made eight-consecutive All-Star appearances and quickly became one of the NBA's biggest stars thanks to his incredible dunking ability. He is also credited with helping to boost the profile of the Toronto Raptors during the early years of the franchise.
