Longtime NBA star Vince Carter has been hired by NBC Sports and will join the network as a studio analyst on NBC and Peacock this fall, according to an official announcement.
Carter, who set a league record by spending 22 seasons in the NBA, was an eight-time All-Star, a Rookie of the Year, a dunk contest champion, and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2024. Since his retirement as a player in 2020, he has spent time working as an analyst for both ESPN and Turner Sports.
According to NBC’s announcement, the plan is to have Carter be part of NBC’s studio show for one or more nights per week. He’s expected to work frequently alongside fellow Hall-of-Famer Carmelo Anthony.
“I could not be more excited and appreciative to have the opportunity to be a part of the historic return of the NBA to NBC and now Peacock,” Carter said in a statement. “I am truly looking forward to joining Melo in the studio and the rest of the broadcast team overall, as we embark on bringing NBA fans best-in-class coverage of the league they love.”
NBC Sports, which is regaining broadcast rights to NBA games for the 2025/26 season, is slowly filling out its game and studio broadcast teams. In addition to hiring Carter and Anthony in studio analyst roles, NBC has brought on Mike Tirico and Noah Eagle as its top play-by-play announcers, Jamal Crawford and Reggie Miller as game analysts, and Michael Jordan as a special contributor.
Another failed Warriors trade. They drafted him and moved him for Antwan Jamison. Jamison was good. But, Carter was definitely better than John Starks.

Careful, he may bail part way through a broadcast.
