NBA Hall of Famer Vince Carter is taking a hands-on approach to his new role as part-owner of the Buffalo Bills. Since joining the ownership group in December 2024, Carter has been focused on gaining a deep understanding of the team and its operations to contribute effectively behind the scenes.
Carter shared that his goal is to be well-informed about the business side of the franchise, treating it much like he approached his playing career—by learning the finer details. He emphasized the importance of knowledge and involvement rather than just holding a title.
Though Carter initially envisioned owning a basketball team, an opportunity arose to invest in the Bills, introduced by his cousin and fellow NBA Hall of Famer Tracey McGrady. Both seized the chance to join the football franchise, an unexpected but exciting development for Carter.
Since becoming an owner, Carter has engaged directly with key figures in the organization, including the general manager, team president, and owner. He’s been actively listening and learning to ensure he plays a meaningful role rather than just lending his name to the ownership group.
Carter’s commitment reflects his desire to be a valuable part of the franchise’s future and demonstrates his serious approach to this new chapter beyond his basketball legacy.
