In a conversation with Mike Mazzeo post-game Sunday, Kyrie Irving said he endorsed the idea of his childhood team retiring Vince Carter’s No. 15.
“Anytime you’re a Nets’ legend and give that much of your time (to the organization), and all the ups and downs he stuck through after J-Kidd left, he did all he could so I think he should. Absolutely,” Irving told Mazzeo following Sunday’s blowout victory over the Atlanta Hawks at Barclays Center.
Mazzeo, writing for Forbes Sports, also quoted Irving, who grew up in West Orange, on his fandom as a boy attending New Jersey Nets games in the Meadowlands.
