40-year-old Vince Carter is still capturing the hearts of young fans

He isn’t washed-up. Fans are still seeing a talented Carter in action.

A huge Vince Carter fan met his idol, and his jaw nearly sunk to the floor in excitement:

Look at his face!

Carter is 40 years old but still capturing the hearts of young fans. He’s supposed to be retired right now — or riding out the final weeks of his career. Instead, he’s playing 25 minutes per game on a playoff team.

And still doing things like this:

“A ‘64 Chevy, it needs a lot of maintenance,” Carter said last week. “You always gotta stay working on it just to keep it running correctly. That’s kinda how I treat my body.”

Because of how smart he’s been in taking care of his body, even the younger generation will remember Carter for how great he was, not as a washed-up version of what he used to be.
