For me, the issue of jersey retirement falls somewhere between 'best ever' and 'favorite', with the need for tenure/longevity included in the mix.
Carter gets eliminated from jersey retirement consideration for these simple reasons, that have nothing to do with the off-court stuff:
- he only played 1/3 of his career with the Raptors
- he didn't play his prime/best years with the Raptors
- he didn't have his greatest playoff success with the Raptors
- he really didn't have any great on-court accomplishments with the Raptors (best one being a single 2nd-round playoff appearance)
- the all-star stuff (including the slam-dunk contest) is all superfluous
