Watch Vince Carter make this faraway fan's day

Vince Carter pays another visit to his old Toronto stomping ground on Wednesday night, but as far as Monday in Memphis, it was all about another visitor: a young woman from China whose longtime dream of meeting him was finally realized.

At 39 and into his 19th season, Carter’s having a solid season as a key reserve for the Griz, even pulling out the odd vintage Vinsanity dunk and being mentioned as a possible for February’s All-Star slam dunk throwdown. But the former Air Canada’s Hall of Fame resume can be measured in other ways, like this one: a 14-hour flight by a fan, and an invitation to come down to the court to meet up face to face.
