NBA documentaries have multiplied for some time and a new project is emerging on Friday, October 1: “Vince Carter: Legacy”. You don’t have to be a genius to understand that this new docu is all about the former Raptors star and the longest-lived player in NBA history.
After “The Carter Effect” released in 2017 and produced by LeBron James’ production company Uninterrupted, here is “Vince Carter: Legacy”. A few days ago, we got a little preview with the official trailer and as much to say that we were quickly hyped. At the same time, that’s the point of a trailer, but when you have guest stars like Allen Iverson, Julius Erving and Dominique Wilkins, it’s hard not to rub your hands. All these legends of the game are there to talk about the impact of Vince Carter, eight times All-Star during his NBA career and Olympic champion in 2000. And the impact, he was phenomenal from his early years in the NBA, when he put the Toronto Raptors on the map of American basketball and he chained the highlights through his exceptional athleticism. Even two decades later, no one has forgotten his incredible performance at Oakland’s Slam Dunk Contest 2000, perhaps the finest in history.
But this document, it does not remain focused on the great hours of Vince Carter in the jersey of Toronto. He also returns to certain controversies that have surrounded his career, and the lows that he has been able to go through throughout his NBA adventure. A 22-season long adventure, an all-time record please. Toronto, New Jersey, Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas, Memphis, Sacramento and finally Atlanta, we can say that he saw the VC from the country. This longevity and the evolution that goes with it necessarily represent an important axis of the documentary, because it is precisely what makes, among other things, the legacy of Vince Carter.
“Vince Carter: Legacy” is coming out on the Crackle Plus Networks platform this Friday. Without wanting to spoil you, know that this documentary will give exclusive access to Vince Carter’s last season with the Hawks in 2019-20, which will serve as a common thread between the various returns on his greatest exploits and his personal failures.
