Vince Carter was drafted fifth overall by Golden State Warriors in 1998 NBA draft.

Toronto Raptors traded Antawn Jamison , the fourth overall pick, for Carter .

Carter 's arrival in Toronto lifted the Raptors’ sagging ticket sales and helped take them to the post-season .

Basketball boom sparked by Carter has actually created a strain on resources, says Glen Grunwald .

Grunwald said that Canada Basketball has been talking to various government agencies and non-governmental organizations about helping us build more facilities. “We’ve had slow progress in that, but we’re hopeful that people will step up and realize that there’s a great opportunity for basketball, along with a lot of other court sports, to create the facilities for a growing population and a population that’s more and more interested in playing basketball.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 1, 2024 ..
