Vince Carter’s iconic Dunk Contest deserves a deep rewind | 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest 

Openingband yup.This man deserves a spot in the HOF

@Millian Macalintal You're drunk

Millian Macalintal wouldn’t say first ballot. But he’ll make it in there

@@jeremyfuller7730 If Yao Ming and T Mac got in, why can't Vince?

@@kvltizt I think he's a hall of famer but not first ballot. First ballot is for players like Kobe, Shaq, Jordan, and LeBron. Like top 20 players

Make a wish foundation

What’s the time stamp?

They failed to mention Master P could actually play. This wasn't Mike playing baseball or CM Punk doing MMA.

#DunkOfDeath

I never seen a dude get violated on the court like that before or since then. Best dunk ever!

yo yo Shawn Kemp and pippen

@@davidquinn7822 you right, the Lister blister! and Scottie's "sit yo ass down Spike" lol

The French government made Vince register as a sex offender after that dunk for dragging his balls across that dude's head.

Charlie Taaffe yeah they would

project awesome We basically had no attendance until he was drafted look at what happened to Vancouver, Toronto would be in the same situation basketball wasn’t really a big thing here before Vince and Tmac came

Have to agree with Charlie. They could have very easily gone the way of Vancouver. Toronto and Vince basically blew up together. I think there's even a video on here about how Vince basically made Toronto cool..

He wasn't even drafted by them. He was traded to them immediately after being drafted.

Did you get that from the vince carter movie the carter effect

Lol, I misread this „He made a lot of kids in canada...including me.“

You're right! Toronto Raptors still owe Vince to this days for the amount of fan he made for that organization!

Can't argue that he played a huge role in growing the game in Canada.

i mean he was dunking by the 6th grade

Some guys today can jump a bit higher or spin a bit faster, but VC had that freakish ballet like grace in the air and thunder when driving it through the net. Best in game dunker in history bar none.

VC played volleyball in high school as well, might helped his vertical jump a lot

@@JacobParkYusuk Vince is not graceful Jordan lost is. Will is Vince is a slammer

@@nakahili539 bra look at his cousin they probably have a family full of dunkers

Vedant Shetty 69th like👌

That's why I'm not big into this guy's content.. He's like J.R.R. Tolkien for the NBA.. When we just looking for action in the battle of Helms Deep

@@thebystander1636 I mean it is called a deep rewind, it's not just a highlight video. It's supposed to show you the moment in history and the events that led up to it

@@indyana5899 cool

@@thebystander1636 you dumb af. Don’t watch if you don’t like it? Idiot.

That's epic i wonder what is the best record on seconds to points

Yeah, would be cool

Let's not

@markmac who was that dude in college?

they finally did

Frederic Weis was 7'2" back in 2000 olympic

@@werlianta he still is 7'2" idiot

@@sheepdavis probably not, that's 20 years of gravity working against him

@@sheepdavis Was is a past tense verb. 2000 is a past tense date. Stop calling people idiots when you are one yourself.

@@louieakporji980 y'all need to chill

Facts

Lies

Yeah he was

I thought i was the only one who thought that

He wasn't robbed, he had the best single dunk, i agree on that, but all in all, Levine had the better contest.

I could be wrong, but I think the low quality on the rewinds is an intentional style choice.

Potato salad has eggs

@@nbalegendrip1360 Yeah, but potato salad is disgusting.

tell that to an Aussie bro it's all about that Bacon, Sausage and Egg sandwiches over here

@@lukach5718 Baconeggandchesseonaroll is the national breakfast of us New Yorkers, and yes we say it like it's one word.

@@lukach5718 💯💯

Not best dunker but contest dunker yes

@@michaelmayers3622 he 360d in traffic he is the greatest dunker ever

Michael Mayers he is by a trillion miles the best dunker of all time. There is not even a #2 because the distance to Carter would be embarrassing

@@michaelmayers3622 best contest dunker is Jason Richardson, but he couldn't have done his back-to-back incredible performances without Vince leading the way. Jason's dunks were far more difficult.

The best dunker is the goat michael jordan

The man is still playing too

i still remember that through the legs dunk like its yesterday

20 years now

almost 21 now lol

Nope

Jason Richardson came pretttttttty dang close though, twice

2016 was close lol.

@@surgeonso4345 2016 was by far the best showdown between two dunkers I've ever seen. I hadn't felt chills like that since MJ vs. Nique.

@@mg19cal He could have gotten the 3peat if he just went for a regular dunk in 2004. But he was like nah, I'll go for the off the glass between the legs 360.

Frank Olwenda 2002 is better Jason Richardson did 3 nbd dunks and it came down to the last dunk he had to beat 49 and did something no one seen.

Damn right. Same. Man is mythical to me.

Our management was complete trash back then. You give Masai that roster and at the very least we go to the finals once.

@@iBlackula Quite possibly dude. Remember, in that same summer they fired Butch Carter, then hired Lenny Willkens. Then they hired Lenny and got Kevin Oneil. And then they fired him and got Sam Mitchell. And then Vince finally left. They've always tired to make it seem like "noone likes to live in Toronto", however no player has ever said that. It was the shitty management at the time that noone wanted to play for. And I've always believed if Tmac and Vince stayed together, they wouldnt have had these injuries.

carter t mac oakley davis mo pete alvin christie..that rapts team was the future in the east for many finals and they blew it..smdh..so much talent ...

One of the biggest what ifs ever if they stayed together. Add in a defensive anchor and they would've been incredible

Alex I but the raptors tried giving him a shitty extension on his contract

Shawn Taylor was the man HTTR

Dear God, That was assault with a deadly weapon.

A P sean was good. Too bad he played for those doodoo redskins

Hell yeah it does!

Ab-so-lutely.

Uh huh. And years later, Serge Ibaka dunked from even _further_ back than Barry, and no one at all even mentions his dunk. I bet you don't even remember it.

@@mystichdx IIRC he got a pretty low score for that. Man, I don't care how big someone is, if a guy jumps from beyond the line (and I mean actually behind the line, none of this foot on the line stuff), he deserves a 50.

@@yoamiunpinco4372 You misunderstood. I'm not saying that those dunks from so far back aren't impressive. They are -- technically speaking. But visually, they're just not blowing anyone away. And that's not debatable -- you're seeing it in the scores and crowd reaction. It ain't right, but -- it's the reality.

OfficialPlasticHands against the Celtics*

But why

really? Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon? C'mon man

It's criminal. Great career though. Superstar who transitioned into grizzled veteran. He will always be the man.

Just the whole damn game it was awesome

That entire playoff race was insane that year

I was cheering for the Cardinals so I'm good with that.

Wish I was old enough to experience it. HELLAS!!!

konjer15 oh course the achievement was great,but I’d rather grate my balls against sandpaper then watch that Greece team play football ever again l. Soooooooo borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring

@ Ciaran Grimes The Euro 2004 victory by Greece is the greatest upset in Sports history. I know that sounds like hyperbole, and biased overexaggeration, but if You consider all of the facts going into that tournament... IT IS. To understand the magnitude of that Championship, You have to know these facts: 1) Greece had never won a single GAME at any tournament before... not 1! They played in the Euro ‘04 opener and shocked the Footballing World by defeating the host nation, Portugal, and its Golden Generation of Footballers, as well as a young & much-hyped Cristiano Ronaldo. This first-ever victory in a Tournament, alone, would’ve been enough for Greece to go home having had a “successful” showing. Instead, they repeated the feat, in the Final, AGAIN against the hosting Portuguese. No Team has ever beat a host nation TWICE in a Tournament. 2) Soccer/Football is a game ruled by heavyweights, with Championships being recycled among the top nations/clubs, tournament after tournament. Furthermore, Europe is the most competitive Continental Federation, and so winning the Euro is statistically harder than winning the World Cup (WC), because there isn’t a dilution of talent like the WC has to enable all Continents to participate. 4) For Greece in 2004, there were 0 “Superstars” on that Squad, and a Coach who didn’t speak Greek (needed a Translator). 5) People forget that Greece also beat the great French Squad in the Quarter-Finals, who were reigning Champs, and which included Zinedine Zidane, and many of the same cast that would be WC Finalists 2 years later. Whats also forgotten is that they shutout the Czech Rep. in the Semi-Finals, who were the most offensively potent team in the Tournament to that point. ... and finally, to your point, YES, perhaps Greece’s style of play was NIT the most exciting, as they opted to defend impenetrably instead of open up and play a balanced attack/defend style... but give credit where its due... they shutout the Champs, the Top Scorers, and the Hungry Hosts to the perfect tune of 1-0 victories, 3 straight times. 🇬🇷⚽️🏆

Kosta454 also that win vs the Czech had a special rule the silver goal which is bonkers to think about nowadays about

ONNNNNYYYYXXXXX

That was a dope track

@@niickduck8780 I didn't say it wasnt popular it's just not for me. Most pussiest sport with no physical contact and if your lucky the score will be 1-0

That goal is so underrated

@@rydawg26 But it's one of best goals in Euro's history

Personally I enjoyed it. Theres so much history and backstory in the NBA and all of that leads to the moments we see and remember
