16. VC's journey in Toronto finally came full circle. From superstar beginnings and an unbelievable fandom, to a rough departure, to a redemption moment when visiting as a Grizzly, to being forgiven and loved again, and tonight being given the highest honour a player can receive from a pro team. Well earned and congratulations VC and Toronto Raptors (+30 years and counting). What a magnificent night! Well done all.

17. When VC said, "It's not just Carter 15. It's all of us going up. " I felt that. Thank you, Air Canada for putting Toronto on the map 🇨🇦 🏀

22. I was unexpectedly emotional as the ceremony went on because I felt like it was a farewell to my late teen years all of sudden. From the dunk contest to the day you were traded, I cheered crap out of my heart and booed as loud as I could. Bit overwhelmed to realize those are long time ago. Thank you for the memories.

23. CANNNN YOUUUUU DIG ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!🔥🔥

24. VC15 FOREVER 💜💯💪🏽✈️🍁

25. Raptors organization nailed this jersey retirement ceremony out of the park. I don't recal ever seeing a ceremony like tjis in the NBA. I don't know what Brooklyn Nets can do to top this in January. This is 🥇🥇🥇

26. Vince Carter Deserves to have His Number 15 Retired no Question about it. He brought Heart Dedication Pride Passion and Love to Toronto and thats why Hes one of the Greatest Player to played For the Raptors and Im proud to be part of that Generation when they Drafted him and see him play all his career…Vincesanity Forever!! And I hope one day Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan will have their Jerseys Number retired Also He Didnt Win a Ring nor a Championship But he Won the love and Respect of a whole Country of Canada and thats why a Big Win for Him and for the fans of Canada

27. Forever a Toronto Raptor ❤💜

28. Herbie Kuhn announcing Vince like the old days gave me goosebumps

29. Canadians had a problem with him right from the start because he never wanted to be called Air Canada. Then he said I'm never going to dunk again and then his mother became a pre Madonna about parking. Do not get me wrong I have 2 VC Raptor Jerseys', it just could have been really a lot better for new basketball fans from Canada who really love hockey. He miss that mark to be bigger than Hockey. Instead hen came a across as just another American who hates Canada, just give me my money and I'm out of here.

30. I hope it’s not the case but the speech at 2:55 sounds completely AI generated, especially near the end. Some of the sentences are textbook ChatGPT

31. I can't even describe how happy this makes me. VC is the king….I hope his kids know that their Dad was like a super hero in Toronto…:)
