Greatest dunk in history. Getting dunked on can take a little piece of you but that dunk emasculated an entire country. It was like a man competing against children. Original dream team never had a dunk like that against inferior competition.
If you didn't watch the NBA 1998-2007 you'll never understand. We used to wait to watch Sportscenter to see what dunks & highlights Vince did during games. The most entertaining basketball player ever imo, Mike early in his career gave us those but Vince was just too saucy. My favorite player all-time
As someone who watched both MJ and VC, VC was the greatest highlight player ever. We definitely tried to catch Jordan highlights, but Vince WAS Sportscenter. Basketball fans, non-basketball fans would wait on Sportscenter to catch any new Vince Carter dunks. It was an incredible time. I want to say we cared as much about Vince's top 10 dunks of the year as much as the NBA champions in the early 2000s.
Vince Carter is in the top 10 for 3s all time and everyone remembers him as a great dunker. That is talent. He was so good that he is one of the all time leaders in a stat but he did something else so well that most people don't even know that
Vince was so cold wit it, he had 3 nicknames - “Air Canada”, “Vinsanity”, and “Half-Man Half-Amazing” ………a blessing to have witnessed his career….best in game dunker ever and he could shoot ….Special
Nobody ever talks about vince's 3 point shot which is understandable with his dunks. I witnessed one of his game winners for the nets against the hawks it was damn near half court he has a laser 3 pointer.
his last 2 years in toronto he dealt with a TON of knee/leg injuries. its one of the things that soured the relationship. especially the year the raps went on a run without him and snuck in the playoffs and almost won a round if it wasnt for one of the fucking dumbest plays in nba history
If my not very good memory is correct, he went down after a jumper against the Celtics, and it was revealed he had jumpers knee (I think was the name for it). I remembered thinking after he returned from healing that he was slightly less explosive looking, or maybe he was being slightly more cautious. But still was producing.
Ahhhhhh man. This hit the spot. Thank you. My happiest times watching the game were the MJ and Magic era and alongside that was the VC Raptor era. Never seen an athlete like VC. People are right when they say there will never be another MJ. But you know what? There will never be another VC either.
If I had the ball on the fast break, and Vince Carter was on the one side and JESUS on the other, I would have too throw it to VINCE CARTER !!!!🐐 in the AIR js 💯😎
So I played against Vince Carter in high school. Although I didn't have to guard him because we ran the 2-3. Vince had 52 points, 16 rebounds, 19 dunks, 8 blocks, and 7 alley-oops. Vince had a point guard named TT Toliver that was nice! I remember him talking shit before the game. He said Vince would score 50 points and get at least 20 dunks against us! Watching him dunk on my teammates was hilarious! That year Daytona Beach Mainland won the 1995 6a state championship! I've been a fan ever since! Off note, his assistant coach end up becoming a mayor of the city!
A real nature phenomenon to watch. Good collection of stories and funny ones too. Surely half an hour is not enough to describe all of his magical moments as a player, dunks or not.
Vince ended the slam dunk contest, after his 360 windmill dunk and other dunks that contest, we all knew the slam dunk contest was never gonna be the same, I remember watching it like this is one of the coolest moments I'll ever witness, he blew our minds
I figured eventually someone would come along and finally beat him. its been over 20 years. at best you could say a few people got close a few times. thats fucking INSANE
"Half Man, Half Amazing!!" The perfect moniker for that dude.. VC is the reason Nike Shox took off, had us all thinking we could trampoline to the hoop.. Factz.....
Vince made it look easy, effort less, he looked like he was playing in the park. Vince was doing whatever he wanted, unbelievable. He looked like he was a step above everyone. Like he was playing with high schoolers.
I love these videos man! I’ve seen so many of my favorite players and stories I’ve never seen or herd of, so thank you for your hard work towards these videos. But AI has to be hands down my favorite one! Keep up the good work !
Growing up in Toronto when he was on the team. I wasnt a big basketball fan i was too busy with hockey but its cool lookin back having got to witness some of his greatness and i just thought he was the raptors top player never knew how respected he was around the league
I worked in the club industry for about 10 years in my younger years, mostly in Charlotte, NC. Was around alot of celebrities/athletes..... NOBODY was more down to earth & just a regular dude than Vince Carter. He was a HOF player with a blue collar personality. Antawn Jamison was with him that night & was just as cool....just regular dudes having fun.
The fact that Shaq said there are 3 guys I let do whatever they wanted to do and then says he flagrant fouled Vince because he DIDNT wanna get dunked on is hilarious
Man, I love VC too much. MJ, Vince, and Iverson are my 3 top favorite players all time. Three persons I'd die to meet, to shake hands, to talk anything. My heroes. And it's soooo pleasing to hear people giving credit and compliments to him! Who cares about late carreer numbers or rings, he made basketball the most beautiful game to watch! That is A LOT.
I must say your work is splendid you put the focus on your subject through the mouths of the players rather than talk from a research or stat perspective. Youkeep your narration to the point and short. This gives respect to the players because I would hear anything from these guys story wise about the game. Keep up the good work.
I love this series man. Personally, the player id like to see you do one for is Pistol Pete. But I think if you did one on Shaq or Dr. J those would do really well in the algorithm
6:12. "So when he hit me, I went higher...." In one of the most interesting dunks in NBA history, Vince Carter accomplishes in real life what happens to many of us when we are sleeping. When I play basketball in my dreams, my best backboard breaking dunks are when I bounce off other players and go higher.
Man, what would I give to sit next to this great personality even for 1 hour. I mean we almost the same age. Still…my whole youth I was looking up to that humble freak of man. The league isn’t the same without him.
Beautiful work once again. Really appreciate the effort you put into these and let the players tell the stories without any bs bells and whistles. As for the request: Do one on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He was the main reason I got into this sport as a kid in the 80s.
Thanks for this video, Nick. There is no video of my favorite and most memorable dunk of Vince's. When he and I were in 7th grade, our school held a teachers VS students game. Needless to say, watching him dunk on teachers during the game will forever be remembered. Let me tell you, as great of a player as he was is nothing compared to the person he is and has always been. Oh yeah, I did put him out playing "call out" with a hook shot from beyond the 3 point line... It was the only thing I could get up without getting blocked, lol.
Vince Carter was a Beast!!! My Favorite Player to Watch!! Of course the Dunks were Incredible, but man did He have a Sweet Jump Shot, and He always Hustled!!
In the summer of 1998 or 1999 me and a friend went to the gymnasium of IIT here in Chicago. As soon as we stepped in I noticed a young Vince Carter. I'm like," Damn, that's Vince Carter!" My friend was like, " Who is that?" I told him, " Just watch."... That afternoon, Vince Carter put on a dunk show!! The crowd was going crazy even when he missed a couple. There's a kid named Ronnie Fields who used to be the dunking king here in Chicago. He played ball with Kevin Garnett in high school ( Farragut). My point is, I've never seen anyone dunk like Vince Carter.
Love these series 💯🤟🏾
Appreciate that bro!
Bout to binge watch dis shyt now 🤣🤣
@@NickSmithNBA thanks for the reggie miller video
@@NickSmithNBA a david robinson video would be cool
LBJ won’t lying😂 I played high school ball in early 00s and wore VCs signature shoe with shocks!!
Olympic dunk is the greatest dunk to ever happen in a game hands down.
Best in game in history

dude was on plays of the week pretty much every single week lol
Broke my heart when I put on them Nike shocks and I still couldn't jump like him
Lol mannn I thought I could jump in them too couldn't even tap back board 😂😂😂
They actually did make me dunk
Them joints were mad heavy too 😂.
Lmao bro I’m wearing the bb4s right now. Still can’t dunk
It broke mine when I put them on and yet, I was still white
Vince is the greatest dunker of all time. I think his 'after dunk' reactions get overlooked a lot. Great video
The dunk of death... it probably is the greatest dunk ever in basketball.
Facts the dunk contest
i got him vs shawn kemp for best after dunk reactions
Vince Carter is in the top 10 for 3s all time and everyone remembers him as a great dunker. That is talent. He was so good that he is one of the all time leaders in a stat but he did something else so well that most people don't even know that
I never knew that.... thanks for the information bro😳

5:52 “he paused in the air, let Zo fall to the ground, and then boofed ‘em!”
Lmao 🤣
Nobody ever talks about vince's 3 point shot which is understandable with his dunks. I witnessed one of his game winners for the nets against the hawks it was damn near half court he has a laser 3 pointer.
He’s WAY more than just a dunker. Pretty elite scorer in his prime
Vince's whole game was overshadowed by his dunks
Vince is #6 in all-time 3s
he also has a great fadeaway
@@chibill467 his shot was beautiful
The fact that Vince carter never got a torn acl or mcl injuries is amazing with how much dunking he does. That’s a miracle
didn't Bruce Bowen cost him a severe injury before he went to the Magic
He did…
his last 2 years in toronto he dealt with a TON of knee/leg injuries. its one of the things that soured the relationship. especially the year the raps went on a run without him and snuck in the playoffs and almost won a round if it wasnt for one of the fucking dumbest plays in nba history

Amazing tribute to VLC!
What respect he got, and we'll deserved too. D Wade's story was really touching
Gilbert Arenas' story telling is so cool he's so authentic and funny
Fast forward now and he has a great platform
Vince Carter is one of the most well respected players in Nba history along with D. Wade and that's a fact.
We need more of these and I want to see Ray Allen, Dennis Rodman, T-Mac, Chris Bosh and DWade.
"Half Man, Half Amazing!!" The perfect moniker for that dude.. VC is the reason Nike Shox took off, had us all thinking we could trampoline to the hoop.. Factz.....
"Boing" lol
Truly Enjoyed The Love And Praises Given Vince Carter. His Suspension In The Air Is Legendary.
Vince is just one of a kind!!!! Hall of Fame period!!!!
The Travesty here is VC not winning a title. How I wish he won at least 1 . GOAT DUNKER
If he had stayed 1 more year with the Hawks.......
@@stephenbenoit4305 THEY ALL WENT 4 THE DOLLA BILL
Vince has a title
@@StarFox85 Cheap ass owners back then smh.. Should've kept Isiah in Toronto
Right but for sure 1st balled HOF

Can you do Dennis Rodman "Greatest Stories"?
This.^^
Please
This one pls
Please
Hell yeah
Growing up in Toronto when he was on the team. I wasnt a big basketball fan i was too busy with hockey but its cool lookin back having got to witness some of his greatness and i just thought he was the raptors top player never knew how respected he was around the league
Great compilation!
VC made me and damn near every millennial born in Toronto fall in love with the game .
Thanks! 100%
U couldnt be more correct bruh....
Same! Not just T.O but all of Canada.

The arm in the basket .. it was so good people / players were speechless . It went quite for a split second. Like wtf
Amazing dunk . Amazing player
The fact that Shaq said there are 3 guys I let do whatever they wanted to do and then says he flagrant fouled Vince because he DIDNT wanna get dunked on is hilarious
WOW my fav player of all times, thanks for this bro! AMAZING
Glad you enjoyed!
You can see Vince get overwhelmed when Wade talks about doing chin ups on the rim ❤️❤️❤️
Love this vid series!!! Vince is my favorite dunker of all time!!! Throw it up and let Vince reach back and throw it down!!! Let’s go Air Canada!!!!
Great series. Thus far I have watched all eight(8) episodes and am really enjoying the stories; keep up the great work 😉
I was a Miami kid watching that Vince dunk on Alonzo live and I was shook.
Yo, thanks Nick for using one of my suggestions!
Haha great suggestion!
@@NickSmithNBA Definitely got my sub 🙏
@@xxtooshiestyxx8756 Thanks bro!
Man, I love VC too much. MJ, Vince, and Iverson are my 3 top favorite players all time.
Three persons I'd die to meet, to shake hands, to talk anything. My heroes.
And it's soooo pleasing to hear people giving credit and compliments to him! Who cares about late carreer numbers or rings, he made basketball the most beautiful game to watch!
That is A LOT.
Vince is my favorite player of all time and you dropped maybe the best in the series
Appreciate that!
Such a humble guy! Love Vince!
Still breaks my heart the wasted potential of those raptors teams TMAC and Vince would’ve been something really special
They are cousins too. Imagine the chemistry
I must say your work is splendid you put the focus on your subject through the mouths of the players rather than talk from a research or stat perspective. Youkeep your narration to the point and short. This gives respect to the players because I would hear anything from these guys story wise about the game. Keep up the good work.

This was very well put together. Never lost my attention.
Great series! I’d love a Steve Nash series!
The Shaq commentary would be hilarious on that 😆
Yes
I would love to see you do one with Penny Hardaway brother.
Vince Carter is my favourite player of all time and this video was amazing!!
Vince might be the only human that can say “I thought I jumped to far”
I love this series man. Personally, the player id like to see you do one for is Pistol Pete. But I think if you did one on Shaq or Dr. J those would do really well in the algorithm
I think only NBA Historians would appreciate him though

That dunk contest is the best performance all star weekend has ever seen. Hands down. 🐐🔥
Yo, Nick, really wonderful work. I enjoyed this piece.
Great compilation! Vince Carter is certainly my GOAT!
What a great job editing!! Great work!! Keep it up!!!!
This was needed!
The GOAT returns!!
Ayyy!

Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this, i'm a huge fan of VC and you just made my evening :)
Good job man these videos are great !! Even better that it’s Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie !! ✊🏽
This is nice video tribute to Vince Carter. Vinsanity the best dunker at all time & my favorite
You do such a great job on these videos.

Didn't think I would watch every single video in this series but here I am
Vince Carter was a Beast!!!
My Favorite Player to Watch!!
Of course the Dunks were Incredible, but man did He have a Sweet Jump Shot, and He always Hustled!!
Great series!! Can you do Dr. J, or Magic Johnson?
Can you do Bernard King? I haven’t seen anything on here about him.
Hawks Vince Carter did a 360 tomahawk, from the block, during a dead ball. A quality highlight waiting for the inbound.
He is my top 10 favourite players , remember watching him as a young teenager. Was with every minute
I’m smoking dope watching all these
I said it before but man you're great at these. I always look forward to your next video. Keep it up, homie! Thanks for your hard work!
Great vid love these

Back in high school, I thought I could fly with the Nike shox! Well, That Was the first time i start grabbing the rim. Lol
Love these videos g
