The Dunk That Destroyed A Player's NBA Career 

Can't help but feel bad for him. Seems like a great guy but could never get anything to go in his favor

Sometimes it just needs to be said again: Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all time!

You know I’m also glad that you do stories on the other guys on the opposite end of legendary plays. It sucks how life hit them hard and they’ll always be remembered for that. It’s nice to know where they’re at in history.

I read about a story about Weiss on the nytimes years ago. Hope he does well in life. Nice video

I'm french and I can tell you Weis had a pretty good career after the dunk. He had good seasons in Spain (best league in Europe) where he was top 5 in rebounds three times and number 1 in blocked shots once. He played with the french national team until 2007 in international tournaments and took a big part in winning the bronze medal at the european championship in 2005. Just before the 2000 olympics, he had a great year with the french team Limoges: he won french championship, french cup and a European Cup. Le dunk de la mort affected him but he continues to play at a very interesting level for years. And you're quite tough with him with your choice of footage: we see him very fat and slow but it's clearly after his professional career.

"It was just two points" *Famous last words before disaster*

Weis had a great career in Europe. He is very loved in Málaga and Bilbao, where he played really well. So, the dunk never ended his career, unless you only think in NBA terms.

Wow... most of these comments are about VC, but it's not FW's fault the Knicks management is/was incompetent... I feel really bad for this guy. If he were drafted by any other team, he wouldn't have been so reviled.

Man Vince there will be no other dunker like him in history!! And that dunk itself will always be remembered!!

Fredric Weis was still a better draft selection than Anthony Bennett.

From the uplifting awesomeness of “Le Dunk De La Mort” to hearing that Weis nearly committed suicide & still struggling with chronic depression in slight part because of that moment, this is easily the greatest tonal whiplash I’ve ever felt with one of Andy’s videos!! Pretty much every emotion hit in 10 minutes…thanks for that…?? Lol 😅🤷🏾‍♂️😭

It's not like people made fun of him for being dunked on like that. It was rather impressive that VC jumped over a 7footer, whoever he was. It's crazy how things didn't seem to work out for him in the game, seems like a decent fella who just wants to have a normal, humble life and I hope he gets that

I'm from Spain, the country where Weis played the biggest part of his career. Here is a well remembered player, and I could even say that a beloved one, especially in Bilbao. He was a great defender, professional center, with not many offensive weapons but really disciplined. Maybe he wasn't the player that he "promised" before that dunk -although I think that 15 pick was more another Knicks failure than his fault-, but he had a really good career, considering all the problems that he lived.

I wouldn't say the dunk ruined his career, sure it didn't help his confidence and in combination with the injuries it slowed down his career. But he still had a great career in Europe playing in the best leagues outside of the NBA

Imagine if Garnett got hit cleanly by that swing

Please stop using cheesy titles for your videos. Yes his latter career was affected by personal and family issues. But he still played pro basketball in Europe for 17 years and represented his country in the Olympics. He has achieved more than most of us. Also retiring at 33 is not unusual for pro ballers especially among bigs. I am sure it was not pleasant to be on the other end of VC's iconic dunk. But that DID NOT ruin Frederic's career.

Arguably the best dunk I’ve ever seen.

Of course the Knicks drafted him ahead of hometown hero Ron Artest.

That dunk physiologically messed with his confidence, the injuries didn’t help either

Thats crazy to me, I don't get the over hype. Boxers get knocked out, their legs wobble, and beat unconscious in front of 10's of millions of people. There's nothing more embarrassing in sports than face planting in a boxing ring. Getting dunk on by an all time great, known for jumping out the gym .... Is it really that bad 🤷‍♂️

it didn't end his career! this is so sensational. is it the best in game dunk ever? yes. but Weis was not rotation-worthy in the NBA. He got drafted high because the Knicks have been run by colossal idiots since the mid 70's. Weis was literally never an NBA player in terms of caliber. Vince couldn't ruin a(n NBA) career that didn't exist.

I’m still waiting for the day Andy Hoops does a “how good was a former NBA player actually” video again .. like legit we miss those videos

Only the knicks would draft this bum over ron artest

Well that was really devastating for him. It shows all players have their own kryptonite. They are humans after all and to be treated like this in New York, that was very disgusting, especially when they never gave him any chance to prove himself.

To this day, Im still upset the Knicks didnt take Artest, His game in his younger years was hellagood, wouldve been the PERFECT predecessor to the post-Ewing era, given how he played in his younger years and wouldve kept the Knicks at least competitive in the 00's era, regardless of Isiah Thomas, James Dolan, and co. Also, Malace at the Palace would probably never happen

This is why Andy Hoops is my favorite NBA youtuber. His stories and narration are UNDERRATED.💯

There was a documentary made about Weiss' career. The man is smart, but his career was cut short partially due to this play.

I would argue that his face wasn’t everywhere as Carter’s body covered his face entirely as he jumped up

There is some great itw of Fred Weis, but in French, a great guy very down on earth, for example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7P17qqrZI9s.html He explained everything very well, Carter’s dunk is one of the greatest of all-time but nothing is linked with Fred problems

The Knicks are just such an utter shite organization. They're so bad that they have me saying shite and I'm only 13% Scottish. Draft a guy 15th overall and act like he doesn't exist and put no effort into developing his play? What a joke

I think your video is unfair to Weis.First you should not include or at least lit his overweight body playing.It was his retirement years already. 2nd at least you should include some of his achievements more than his negative set backs. At least he won several titles in Europe league.Vince is undoubted one of the greatest dunker and one the players with the longest career but with ZERO ring.

To the Knicks credit they did sign Ron Artest 14 years later when he was 33 and on his last leg.

There will never be another Vince Carter. Literally ended a man’s career.

Careers die in the NYK franchise. NBA Siberia.

Wish VC15 went to a contender before he eventually retired :((( completely understandable if he did

Of course the Knicks would’ve drafted that stupid bum over Ron Artest in 1999 .. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Man his agent went to jail after he got drafted ? DAMN

That didn't ruin his career. His NBA career maybe, but he had a pretty good European and international career. And he's now one of the best analyst in France.

Picked 1 spot ahead of home guy DPOY Ron Artest. Tough scene for NY Even worse cuz players like Nash Kawhi and Giannis were picked in the same spot

I can’t hate the person who got dunked on. You got to understand that VC is well known as the greatest dunker of all time. And honestly I cannot get hyped up when I see a Vince Carter highlight real

Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin was 7’2?

Almost forgot it was Frederic Weis. For a split second thought it was gonna be someone on the Raptors or Nets.

*How guy let a dunk ruin his career.*

At least I’m glad to see how some people also don’t like the title as a great career in Europe is great too. Weiss wasn’t Hakeem, but he was a very decent player and I hope people also remember the rest of his achievements, not only that dunk!

Cater was so good I wish he got a ring but he didn’t he deserve to be on a good team but just couldn’t get on one .. sad but he’s still n the hall of fame

Andy always omits the "it's" when he is greeting the viewers "How's going folks?" lol

“Le dunk de la mort”… that sounds even more sick!

Yeah, he also almost took Garnett's head off with that punch.

Not the greatest dunk. He dunk over a guy who's not an nba player and he shove his head down to jump over him. I think edwards dunk over vincent was better although it was not counted as it's an offensive foul, but carter dunk should be the offensive foul not edwards as edwards didn't shove the guy head down. The greatest dunk is probably pippen dunk on ewing.

Have always felt bad for him. Vince Carter might not be a champion, however he is truly a legend. This dunk will live long forever and we all know why…

Arguably one of the best dunks in history , just unbelievable , and VC ? One of the greatest NBA dunkers of all time .

Video title is BS.

sir what did you see during that dunk? “hella nuts ma’am. hella” - Frederick 😂

Vince killed so that we may live

I still click this even if I remember you already made this video😂

Vince the goat dunker but Edwards is putting up some impressive jams early on, Wonder if hé can rival Vince

“And what he say from his perspective”… nuts.. he saw nuts 🤣😂😭😭😭

The Knicks basically wasted their first round pick for a guy who didn't get to play in the NBA as well as recognized as Vince Carter's "pummel horse" in the 2000 Olympics. They missed out on Ron Artest that's for sure.

Thank God for his wife staying by his side

'No, no, it was my cousin' Frederic clearly wanted nothing to do with that Knicks spotlight. The team ruined him anyways.

the NBA is not the end all and be all of basketball careers... quite disappointed you did not do better research like you usually do...

Wtf…. A dunk killin a career. God we live in a fuct world. This dude spent his life dedicated to what he loved just to be snuffed out by 2 seconds. Weak!!

That did not ruin his NBA career, anyone that has played bball at any type of serious level has been dunked on, so this ruined his NBA chance yet Shawn Bradley has at least a dozen of these

Most depressing basketball story in my opinion life can be cruel

Andy I will never be disappointed when you upload, even if it’s a reupload

why did he let Carter do that lmao? Why didn't he take him to the ground. Soft af

Had Weis jumped or put his hands up. Dunk wouldn’t have been made. Bad defending.

The force of the dunk was so powerdul that the shockwaves ruined his back and knees.

tried to commit suicide after that dunk?! 😬 that’s tough

It’s okay Fredric my 7’3 center on 2K gets dunked on all the time.

1:30, 1:31

Lets be real the guy wasn't special either way, its not the dunk that ruined his career.....

So……. Spectacular + Ending a Man’s Career = The Greatest dunk of all time for U? And U make money off it…..

My favorite dunk is DeAndre Jordan on Brandon Knight

The knick fans should be booing the organisation not him. He didn't ask to be there.

Time frames off , Knicks dropped him way before this

That pick should’ve been Ron Artest

Shaq on Dudley was worse (in terms of humiliation)

"NUTS ON MY HEAD" Vince Carter

Why was the old video deleted?

as a fench guy i know too much about that story lmao

Vince carter literally took this mans soul

Had to be the Knicks. Never knew that.

Retiring at age 33, that's not bad at all.

Lol video name is elite “dunk of death”

That Carter guy should join a dunk contest

That “Starterz” brand logo though lol

SHOULD HAVE TAKEN RON ARTEST 🤬😩

Im sad for him, always pray to God bro.

It didn't end his career though.

Atleast he attempted to play defense

Greatest dunk by far

He really said no, lmfaooooooooo!

Could you do a new "How good was he actually" on Jermaine O'Neal? for some reason it also got deleted

First

Knicks be crazy!

racially motivated

he looks like The Big Show

So he was a rookie

Oh c'mon...if I got posterized by a Vince Carter, MJ, or even Spud Webb for that matter, I'd be elated and thrilled coz I'd be immortalized forever.
