"Do I owe you a training fee?" Hansen asked with a laugh as he got up.
"You've already paid."
Hansen was taken aback by the response.
It wasn't until Carter made a gesture indicating $500,000 that he burst out laughing too.
"Speaking of that, has Kobe ever asked you for the $500,000?"
"He did. He said you lost a bet to him."
"He actually asked for it? So, did you give it to him?"
"Of course not! Since we weren't at the same table, I've never heard of gambling debts being transferable."
Both men continued to talk and laugh as they left the training facility.
...
Carter's first game after the trade was against the Clippers. Still adjusting, he had a modest performance, scoring just 4 points, but then against his former team, the Raptors, he scored 13 points, going 3 for 4 on three-pointers.
Does Carter still have fuel in his tank?
The answer is yes, and quite a bit.
