Description
Vince Carter continues to leave a distinct mark on the NBA landscape. A leading force in the success of the Toronto Raptors, Carter has a dazzling combination of speed and power. His spectacular moves and acrobatic dunks have won him legions of young fans and made him a fixture on highlight reels across North America. Carter was also named “Goodwill Ambassador” by the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America organization and has founded “The Embassy of Hope” foundation to support children's charities. In this lavishly illustrated book, basketball columnist Bill Harris examines Carter's career from high school to the University of North Carolina and on to NBA superstardom. This updated edition also chronicles Carter's continued stellar performances and achievements since the original publication two years ago.
