Future NBA Hall of Famer Vince Carter is joining ESPN as a NBA Analyst

Former NBA star Vince Carter is moving on to his next role in life, one he has been preparing for over the past few years.

Vince Carter is set to be join ESPN as a full time NBA analyst. Carter is no stranger to sports reporting. During his time in Atlanta as a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Vince Carter was a guest analyst with Turner Sports a few times.

According to the NY Post,

Carter minored in communications. He has gone through the Players Association’s “SportsCaster U” camp. He has done TV and radio, which has included previous work for ESPN and Turner. For Fox Sports, he even called the Jr. NBA Global Championship, a competition featuring 13-and-14-year-olds.

In a profile in The Post last year, Carter defined what he thinks his style would be.

“I wouldn’t go (the) Stephen A. (Smith) route,” Carter said, noting Smith’s bombast. “I wouldn’t go the quiet route. … I want to explain the game where you are watching it and say: Ah, that makes sense.”
