Record-Setting Longevity

In August 2019, Carter signed a one-year contract with the Atlanta Hawks, confirming his return for a 22nd NBA season. This made him the only player in league history to play 22 seasons and the first to appear in NBA games across four different decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s). Previously, Robert Parish, Kevin Willis, Kevin Garnett, and Dirk Nowitzki had all played 21 seasons, a record Carter ultimately surpassed.
