Vince Carter slammed his way into NBA History
On Wednesday night Atlanta gained their ninth consecutive game loss after being defeated by the Toronto Raptors 124-108 at State Farm Arena.
Although this was yet another painful loss, the Hawks gained a win when Vet Vince Carter became the 22nd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 career points.

Carter played six years with the Raptors and earned Rookie of the Year in 1999. In Toronto Carter emerged as a star entertaining crowds with his leaping ability and slam dunks, earning him nicknames such as “Vinsanity“, “Air Canada”, and “Half-Man, Half-Amazing”. He won the NBA’s All-Star Weekend dunk contest in 2000.
