At 40 years old, Vince Carter is already the oldest player in the NBA, but he doesn't plan on relinquishing that title just yet. The veteran small forward, who just finished his 19th season, said Friday during the Grizzlies' exit interviews that he would like to keep playing for at least two more years. Via RealGM:

"I said to myself 'I want to play 15 years'. I don't know where I got that from. And the I got to 15 years and I kept going. I never capped it, but at the same time I've had a lot of players remind me of things I've said," said Carter about how he kept telling fellow players he would retire after two more years.

"I'm still saying 'two more years and I'm done.'

...

"I could play three more rounds of basketball right now."

Despite his age, the elder statesman wasn't just a glorified coach for the Grizzlies, however, averaging eight points and three rebounds over 25 minutes per game, while even starting 15 times during the regular season. 

If Carter is able to play another two years as he intends, it would keep him in the league until his 42nd birthday, which would make him just the sixth player ever to play in the NBA at 42 years or older. (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also played when he was 42, but for some reason the search function on Basketball Reference is only showing the player's age on Feb. 1, and Abdul-Jabbar turned 42 on April 16, so that search does not include him.)
