How is this 24 years ago and vince aint aged a day?

[@LADILADY67]

Facts!!

[@ShariaLawAllDay]

Vince Carter was the NBA back then. People forget Vince was the number 1 Allstar vote getter for 5 straight years, from 2000 to 2004. Absolute highlight machine. Best dunker ever, best player with highlights and was super talented offensively. It's a shame Toronto never retired his no. 15.

[@Byronic19134]

Yeah Carter was never the best player in the league, but he could have been at any moment and the reason he got so many votes was because he put an entire country of Canada onto basketball. Toronto should retire his number and give him a statue.

[@lebureaudubasket1600]

Number 15 should be retired by the raptors, this man is the reason why raptors still in Toronto.

[@jakubbielak7273]

I am simple man. When I see the best dunker ever, I click.

[@mato8225]

Thank you for putting Toronto on the map, Vince. Growing up i remember seeing posters of your through the legs dunk at all my friend's houses. I always saw you as an amazing athlete who wore the Toronto jersey when few would dare to. Can't even imagine what you guys would've achieved here if T Mac and you both stayed. Regardless I really love how you refer to Toronto as "we", despite being gone for so long. Much love and respect ✌️

[@fomo1]

Yup I had one of those posters in my room

[@TomasV1337]

I'm from Lithuania. At that time, I was 12 years old. I remember after that iconic dunk contest, everyone was talking about how Vince Carter jumped so high that he even put his elbow in the rim. Ohhh... when I see all these players from that era, I feel like I have a special connection with them. Ah, good old nostalgic memories.

[@Barry15798]

Same vibes for me man, i was 11 at that time 🙌 cheers from Spain!

[@gvnscn]

It's the flair he has that gets me, Kobe made couple of these dunks earlier and many others made it before or after him. His body control in the air is just different, the others look like they are rushing through stages just so they are over with them and don't miss the attempt. VC though takes his time, transitions smoothly while rising up, finishing his dunk and then lands back. It was great to listen to commentary, I would have never guessed he felt this anxious and he's so humble about it. Best dunker ever.

[@andretarrobal1964]

his peers all have them flares but due to his amazing core, long wingspan, big hands and height. He got it all lol

[@pauldm5222]

VC set the level for the future dunkstars. even the pro dunkers say it that VC was their inspiration. He's a freaking dunk legend! 🔥

[@RaiderEspo78]

24 years ago n Vince looks like he aged 3yrs.

[@Gon_1987]

VC is best dunker in NBA 💯

[@mally52nd]

Nobody can or will ever do it like Vince!!!!

[@MykeyGHarris]

This is when Vince Carter was known as "Air Canada"!!. At this time Vince was being labelled the next Micheal Jordan after this event. Dunker's use variants of Carter's dunks to this day.

[@donloban]

VC went from being the top vote getting in all-star games for multiple years to being snubbed from the top 75 list. Make it make sense.

[@POK2008]

I was in my high school senior year during this dunk contest. I couldn’t wait to get to school Monday so we could talk about this contest. We talked about it all week.

[@eldamoza21]

Best dunker who ever lived. Tell me otherwise

[@manino04baby]

T-mac and Vinsanity in the backyard is all the practice they needed. It's crazy how competitive these guys were. Each one elevated the other. Vince made nba Jam game look easy

[@corywilson2007]

Vince was my favorite player and the arm in the rim dunk is the dopest dunk.

[@ebenezereghan6348]

One of the most talented of all time.

[@dunkmanpr5398]

I stopped watching basketball after Jordan retired and didnt know anyone from the next generation of stars and i was watching tv in another room and my father started yelling, come here come here! Carter is about to dunk and i didnt know who he was. So i barely made it in time to see the 360 windmill and my jaw dropped and i became a fan of the Nba to this very day. Thanks to Vince. Cant wait to see what Mac does tonight

[@kardiackards8097]

Will be there to watch you enter the HOF later this year. Favorite player of all time. I’ll have your VC15 armband on during the ceremony which you threw me back in 2005 while a kid in the stands. Nets vs Cavs

[@Jeff_Louis]

The launchpad moment. Propelling half man half amazing and the Raptors to new highs. Thank you TMAC and VC for all that you did for Canada basketball #thecartereffect

[@user-nk6dc2wk6p]

the most entertaining era of basketball history.. carter playing with t-mac like everytime their team play i always watch the highlights on espn

[@ninjachannel007]

This stuff is priceless to someone like myself who saw it live and always wondered what Vince was thinking.

[@noonevincecarterfan]

Amazing dunk contest and time to be a basketball fan! You were my childhood hero Vince. You literally changed my life as my no 1 role model! Will always cherish those great moments and look back at them with joy.

Watched this with a smile on my face the whole time

[@tapsaragnarkallio1185]

Great video. VC was my fav player along with T-mac. I was 15 when this happened, saw it back then. and i couldnt believe what i saw. Still the best dunk contest in my mind.

[@derekwdna]

I still remember playing Xbox One NBA 2K1 and Vince was 99 and pretty much unstoppable.

[@gio4rmlawood]

Still my absolute favorite dunker of all time

[@nbarealtalker]

Honestly, 2 hands from a step inside the free throw line is pretty impressive even for today.

so interesting hearing his thoughts on it!! wow. I always remember this as the best dunk contest performance ever 🔥🙌

[@eddienguyen3852]

Vc fist dunk cemented everything ! His body flow control was so perfect ! The rest of the dunks are normal maybe over normal a bit.

Vince Carter..............Organize your body very well both when jumping and when falling to the ground.

Vince is my favorite player of all time. The raptors owe him their franchise imo. If he never did what he did in Toronto they would've ended up just like the Vancouver Grizzlies

[@ratmachine87]

Half Man Half Amazing

[@Byronic19134]

Only thing Vinsanity needed to do different on the final dunk was to hang on the rim swinging than slap the backboard or something to put an official stamp on it.

[@CuongNguyen-kz4lv]

Or just a simple 1 hand 360 he does In game all the time

[@eric2394]

His final dunk was wack

Vince Carter was the type of player that made other NBA pros feel like they didn't belong in the league. Mind boggling level of athleticism.

[@Mektek19]

Kobe was crazy though. He did the in between the legs and the honey dip before Vince.

[@aaronignacio4652]

Still can't believe he not included in 75 greatest players

[@heatsbeat7504]

From a Dunker Pov, he hasnt done any dunk we havent seen during that time. KZbin was existing and arm into the rim was some guy on yt even before kobe did it. Between the legs we already witnessed isaiah rider doing it. But how he perfomed the dunks and also on first attempt, was as spectacular as it can be. he is probably the best dunker when it comes to looks, But dont forget prime B.Griffin, hes not far behind. Also his competition were great dunkers, all of them. to win against a guy like steve francis is crazy, also t-mac was on point only 1 miss.What Vince has is the perfect size to make it look good. T-Mac a bit to tall, francis wouldve won easy without VC. VC has the perfect hight for an atletic baller, just ask MJ.

[@Halfmonsterman]

Next interview Aaron Gordon or Zack LaVine on their dunks of 2016 contest.

[@edwardrichardson9543]

Lowkey Steve Francis and Tracy McGrady made that contest closer than it really was

[@spaztnik-pz9qx]

Honestly would have loved to see J Rich vs J Smith vs Vince Carter what may never be replicated as a Dunk contest. Even Kobe didnt want to enter a Dunk contest with Vinsanity (relax, get the 5 rings out. We just talking about the Dunk contest)

[@themblan]

Vince is too hard on himself for the last dunk. I really liked it. Two-hands from the free throw line instead of one. Never done before. He also dribbled instead of just carrying it, adding to the difficulty.
