Carter previously revealed how the two athletes help each other’s careers.
“We’re both competitors,” Carter told Robinson in a prior interview, via Complex. “Before games, after games, we tell each other what we should do night in and night out and not to pay too much attention to the outside noise.
“We call it the white noise.”

Wendell Carter Is Preparing for NBA Season With Magic as Angel Reese Leads Dream in WNBA Finals
As for Carter, the Magic center is preparing for the upcoming NBA season with new head coach Sean Sweeney. Time will tell if Carter can follow Reese’s lead and make a deep playoff push with Orlando.
“The group that we have here, these guys want to win,” Carter told Robinson on the Magic. “They’re going to do whatever it takes to win, and I think a guy like Coach Sweeney coming from coaching at the highest level, playing for a championship, understanding what it looks like and what it’s not supposed to look like.
“You mix those two things together, you have a recipe for a chance to shock the world. When you have a team who’s willing and able to adapt to what championship habits look like, and then you implement those championship habits, the sky’s the limit.”
