Vince Carter Dunkaversary - 25 years since Slam Dunk Contest

[Nature]

That 360 windmill ignited my passion for basketball like nothing else. The game's been very good to me so I'm thankful.

Vince was best because he crushed it 1st dunk every time with panache! If you miss a dunk, its trash.

What made Vince so great in my opinion is not only his fluidity but the long extension and flexibility of his limbs. Just a natural thing, you either have it or you don't and you can't learn it. Most of the guys lack that and their dunks look awkward and robotic.

Adding to all that, it made his dunks seemingly happen in slow motion compared to most. There are lots of guys who do impressive dunks, but it isn't always obvious how impressive or powerful they are because they are over before they happen. Vince seemed to be able to showcase a dunk in all of its parts, and we were able to watch the athleticism and fluidity in real time.
