Plot summary
In 1998, Vince Carter joined the Toronto Raptors, an expansion team in a country long ruled by hockey. On draft night, Toronto picked his college teammate, while another club picked Carter, and a trade sent him north. He was glad to join his cousin Tracy McGrady, who recalls how isolated he felt as a teenage rookie there. The two became one of the NBA's best young duos. Carter's win at the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, which he pushed McGrady to enter, drew more attention, and a sneaker endorsement followed. He also opened a nightclub in the city and inaugurated a basketball court.
