Vince Carter’s dunk shows us all that he is/was so many leagues ahead of all players when it comes to dunking. The intensity and style is unmatched.

[@xodaraps2053]

Yup. Some players today like Lavine and Gordon can perform more difficult dunks than VC could but none of them look anywhere near as good doing them. The ferocity and athleticism of VC dunking is unmatched. When he dunks you feel it in your bones.

[@tepanganiban]

Effortless

FACTS

[@davisgeorge7926]

Stop living in the nostalgia and the past. They felt good because you were younger and have never seen anything like it before. Now anyone can dunk as well as VC could

[@Hogboy345]

@@davisgeorge7926 It's pretty unanimous opinion that VC is the greatest dunker of all-time. Not sure why you're salty about it.

Blake had an underappreciated prime. It ended fairly abruptly his by second season in Detroit. But at the tail end of the big men era he was a problem.

[@terrancevanliew1814]

I don't know what you mean by "end of the big man era" There are more star bigs now than in Blake's prime.

[@paquinraino8180]

​@@terrancevanliew1814 Exactly I would say that during 2010-2018 they were only 1-3 real star big man, now Embiid, Jokic, Giannis, AD are all top 10 when healthy. Gobert, Draymond, Bam, Timelord are defensive stars big man with DPOYs or DPOYs potential. KAT, Vucevic, Siakam, Sabonis are 2 times All stars players or almost All stars the other years . ANd you have young bigs like Mobley, Allen, JJJ, Isaac, Collins, Ayton, Woods coming up.

As a retired sports journalist, I’d like to share a couple of thoughts with you. My guess, based on sheer probability, is you’re a young man. I apologize, if that’s incorrect. But you’re an incredibly creative young man. The way you think about the, always debated, “Who’s the GOAT” and “Who’s Top 5” of any sport. I can see the creativity in your expression “increasingly”, that draws at the “SportsCenter Top 10” brain part of the brain, that wants to see which one was best. What’s exponentially more creative is your “categories” (more insane, more dramatic, etc…). Your love of athletic competition will serve you well, as athletic competition has been around since the beginning of recorded history. I’m certain I wasn’t the only one suggesting it, but I noticed quite a few more 90’s plays, in the past couple of videos. Thank You for that. Us “Old Heads” just like to point out that we had some pretty dang good ball, back in the day, and you listened to the people who really enjoy what you do. And better yet, you’ve found a way to fuse the aspects and come up with (to borrow your phrasing) increasingly more ways. You also have a talent for video editing. You produce a product that is 1) Incredibly entertaining, 2) Influenced by the very community that supports it, and 3) Is something that, with your creative brain, you could do for years and years and YEARS! Incredible video. No matter what happens, just know that you’ve got, at least 1 huge fan, who’s always looking for your latest flick. And that’s always reason enough, to keep going. Best wishes, and keep those great videos coming.

[@CoshReport]

Thank you so much for your kind words and I am glad that you like the videos!

@@mobya80 Right?! Exactly. He’s got a million dollar idea that never needs to be overhauled to stay updated, because as players come and go, new ones will provide more highlights. He can literally do this for as long as he wants. Today’s a good day, to get him a bit of a signal boost. I’m going to see if a few of my favorite streamers, with a love for basketball and sizable audiences, want to watch a couple of his videos on stream.
