NBA legend Vince Carter shared his thoughts on the possibility of playing the remainder of the season in empty arenas.

The forward of the Atlanta Hawks expressed his willingness to play in empty arenas and he believes his fellow NBA players can make the adjustment.

“When you toss that ball up and competition starts, and you’re in battle, how often do you worry about the fans? Yes, you hear them cheering, and booing you, I get that. But you’re in competition, you’re in battle. You should be focused on the guy in front of you, or the task at hand … With that being said, yes I could,” Carter said during his appearance on The Grant Napear Show with Doug Christie.

Carter will retire at the end of the current season.
