Vince Carter defies his age by continuing to produce on the basketball court.

As a 39-year old, Carter manages to put up solid numbers. In game one, Carter played 19 minutes and scored 16 points, along with three rebounds and two assists. Carter made six of his seven field goal attempts along with hitting both of his free throws. Although the San Antonio Spurs beat the Memphis Grizzlies 106-74, it was great to see Carter lead his team in scoring. Fellow Tar Heel and current P.J. Hairston chipped in five points in 12 minutes in Game One.

In game two, the Spurs whooped the Grizzlies 94-68. Carter scored only four points. Hairston did not score any points.
