Vince Carter

Vince Carter is renowned for his extraordinary leaping ability, scoring prowess, and longevity in the league. He was selected fifth overall by the Golden State Warriors in the 1998 NBA Draft but was immediately traded to the Toronto Raptors, where he quickly emerged as a star.

Carter was a sensation in Toronto, earning the nickname “Vinsanity” for his remarkable athleticism and spectacular dunks. His performance in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, where he showcased a variety of stunning dunks, remains one of the most memorable in NBA history.

Throughout his career, Carter earned eight All-Star selections. Remarkably, he played 22 seasons in the NBA, retiring after the 2019-2020 season with the Hawks. His longevity, combined with his high-flying playing style and scoring ability, ensured his place as one of the most entertaining and respected players in NBA history.

Over his NBA career, Augustin has displayed strong playmaking and shooting skills, particularly his three-point shooting. For example, during the 2013-2014 season with the Chicago Bulls, he averaged 14.9 points per game and shot an impressive 41.1% from the three-point line.

A journeyman in the league, Augustin has played for multiple teams (11 in total), consistently contributing off the bench.

Serge Ibaka

Serge Ibaka has enjoyed a successful 14-year (and counting) career in the NBA. Originally from the Republic of Congo, Ibaka was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 24th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft.

Ibaka, a power forward and center, is widely recognized for his shot-blocking ability and strong defensive presence, regularly ranking among the league leaders in blocks. In the 2011-2012 season, he led the NBA in blocks per game, helping him earn NBA All-Defensive First Team honors.

Ibaka has played for 5 different teams in his career but is probably best remembered for his time in Oklahoma City playing with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. However, his most significant achievement came in 2019 when he helped the Raptors win their first-ever NBA championship.

Otto Porter Jr

Otto Porter Jr. began his NBA journey with the Washington Wizards, who selected him 3rd overall in the 2013 NBA Draft. Over his years with the Wizards, he developed into a reliable scorer and defender, often playing crucial minutes for the team.

In 2019, Porter was traded to the Chicago Bulls, where he continued to demonstrate his value as a forward who can both score and play solid defense. Throughout his career, he has been viewed as a player who can seamlessly fit into various systems given his skill set.

He was a key component of the Warriors Championship run in 2022, playing valuable minutes, mostly coming off the bench
