In a display of sheer old-man strength, 40-year-old Vince Carter of the Memphis Grizzlies was ejected for elbowing 20-year-old Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker to the ground Tuesday.
Carter didn’t appreciate being fouled by Booker as he drove to the basket with less than four minutes remaining in the opening quarter. Carter swung his elbow, sending the second-year shooting guard flying then got in Alex Len‘s face and said some naughty words when Len swatted the ball from Carter’s hand.
To no one’s surprise, Carter was ejected after receiving a pair of technical fouls. The Grizzlies wound up winning the game 130-112.
