LeBron James Reminisces About Vince Carter’s Top Moments With the Raptors
LeBron James remembers it all.
It took the Los Angeles Lakers superstar a moment to get going but then the memories of Vince Carter began to flood in.
“The 50-point game versus the Sixers in the postseason,” James said as he began to list all his memories from Carter’s tenure with the Toronto Raptors. “The rookie windmill, two-handed windmill versus Indiana on Chris Mullins, went around Chris Mullins when Rik Smits trapped the box. The lob in the preseason down at University of North Carolina, we got that windmill. There’s just too many to name, obviously. Obviously the dunk contest, when he shut down the dunk contest, and gave you the ‘it’s over signal.’”
James and the Lakers are spending an extra night in Toronto to honor Carter as the Raptors retire his No. 15 into the rafters at Scotiabank Arena. It was a decision made in part by Lakers coach JJ Redick who briefly played alongside Carter during their time together on the Orlando Magic.
“Just happy for him and everything that is coming has come his way over the last 12 months,” Redick said of Carter who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame last month. “I think anybody who came of age in the late 90s, early 2000s, they look back on that version of Vince with a high level of fondness. And I was a fan, despite the fact that he went to UNC.”
James shared his praise for Carter too.
“Congratulations to Vinsanity,” James said following Los Angeles’ victory over Toronto on Friday. “It makes all the sense in the world. (What) he’s done for this franchise, the impact he had in his community, the way he changed how basketball has looked at in Canada itself, obviously Toronto. It’s well deserved.”
The Raptors will begin festivities at halftime Saturday against DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings.

If you’re currently going through a bit of Cleveland Cavaliers withdrawal, you won’t have to wait much longer. Sure, you won’t see Donovan Mitchell or Evan Mobley, but some of the younger, intriguing players could be seeing the floor in the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League 2026.
This summer, the games will begin on Thursday, July 9th, and go through Sunday, July 19th. All 76 games will air across ESPN platforms and Amazon Prime. Each team will play at least five games. The first four will take place between July 9th-16th. Semi-Final games will take place on Saturday, July 18th, airing on Amazon Prime, with the Championship game airing on July 19th on ESPN.
The Cleveland Cavaliers Schedule:
The Cavs will kick off their Summer League schedule on Friday, July 10th at 4:30 PM EST vs the Indiana Pacers. The game will air on ESPN2. Their schedule of games will be listed below.
Friday, July 10, 4:30 PM EST vs the Indiana Pacers at the Cox Pavilion, airing on ESPN 2.
Sunday, July 12, 4:00 PM EST vs the Detroit Pistons at the Thomas & Mack Center, airing on Amazon Prime
Monday, July 13, 8:00 PM EST vs the Miami Heat at the Cox Pavilion, airing on Amazon Prime
Wednesday, July 15, 5:30 PM EST vs the New Orleans Pelicans at the Cox Pavilion, airing on Amazon Prime
The Cavs will find out their 5th opponent after their first four games are completed, and will see if they are to move on to the semi-finals for the final weekend.
The Cavaliers Potential Summer League Roster:
While the roster should be announced in a few days, the Cavaliers have been building organizational depth, starting with drafting Meleek Thomas in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft. The team reportedly signed Ernest Udeh, Jr. out of Miami (FL) to a two-way contract and has added Texas A&M forward Rashaun Agee, and Florida guard Xavian Lee to Exhibit 10 contracts.
Tyrese Proctor is also a possibility to play for the team, but we know he will be playing with the Australian national team this summer. Expect fellow two-way player Tristan Enaruna to play as well but the Cavs may need to fill their final two-way spot as Riley Minix has been reported to sign with ASVEL in France.
Summer League is a great opportunity for players to get eyes on them and show their potential. This is also how the Cavs have succeeded over the years, finding diamonds in the rough who contribute to the main roster down the road. Let’s see if the Cavaliers find another hidden gem in a few weeks.
