I Got One More In Me refers to a Bleacher Report infographic that shows retired NBA player Vince Carter and a quote from him that's about him returning to the league to play for another season in 2019. The image became a common reaction image in basketball and sports Twitter circles going into the early 2020s, most often posted within replies and quote retweets.
Origin
On June 5th, 2019, the Twitter[1] account of @BleacherReport posted an infographic that showed veteran NBA player Vince Carter in an Atlanta Hawks uniform with the quote, "I got one more in me," written in all caps.

Sometime in late August 2019, Twitter users started to post the image as a meme, however, the exact tweets are unknown. Regardless, other Twitter users at the time allege to the timeframe's virality, such as in a tweet sent by Twitter[3] user @AndreaR305 on September 11th, 2019, that read, "You after posting the 625th βI got one more in meβ meme" (shown below).
