Former NBA star Jason Richardson, known for his incredible dunking ability, has identified a potential successor to Vince Carter.
Richardson made the revelation during an interview on Scoop B Radio with NBA insider Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson.
When asked if the NBA could see another high-flying player like Carter, Richardson responded enthusiastically.
He highlighted Coen Carr, a standout player from Michigan State, as the closest comparison to the legendary Carter.
According to Richardson, Carr is developing his jump shot and displays a skillset similar to his own.
However, Richardson emphasized that Carr’s leaping ability surpasses even his own.
“He’s very similar to what I used to do, but he jumps HIGHER than me,” Richardson said.
Carr, from East Point, Georgia, has already garnered attention for his impressive athleticism. Richardson believes Carr’s potential could lead to him being the next Vince Carter.
The Michigan State product has quickly become one of the most talked-about prospects in the basketball community.
Richardson’s comparison of Carr to Carter adds to the growing buzz around the young player.
Carter, who retired as one of the greatest dunkers in NBA history, has long been considered the standard for high-flyers.
Richardson and Carter were both slam dunking peers during the early 2000s, often captivating fans with their aerial acrobatics.
Carr, with his explosive vertical and athleticism, could continue that legacy if he continues to develop his skills.
