Even when he was smiling his eyes would keep that intensity. The best part of the Clipper dunk was as soon as Oakley threw it to half court you could hear the intense rumbling starting to explode when the crowd realized VC was at the basket.

That was his best dunk ever because in the context of the game it totally deflated the Clippers and led to Carter's buzzer beating shot.


That was a BIG game:

He did these on a regular basis. If we saw any of these dunks done by a Raptor now, we'd go nuts. We took these for granted...

My favourite VC dunk was actually when he posterized Alonzo Mourning about two years ago. Not just for the dunk itself, but because it was over Mourning.

He had a couple of huge dunks late last season too. One was with three defenders around, and converging on him against (I think) the Pacers. Another was when he caught a teammates' badly missed shot and dunked it right at the fourth quarter buzzer to tie the game (the Nets ended up winning in OT). Were it not for that dunk (ceteris paribus), we would have played the Wizards in the first round and almost certainly would have won.

Since he get traded to NJ he's also completed an insane number of alley oops of J. Kidd passes. His last couple years here our PGs almost NEVER threw him alley oop passes.

Looking back at what we were treated to with VC, it's clear that we're starved for anything exciting today. Moon and Graham have made some decent dunks this season, but Vince would throw down stuff like that or better a few times a game back in the day.

It almost brings a tear to my eye watching RapsTV replay Vince/McGrady games and thinking about what could have been.

My vote is for VC's 360 against Cleveland in his rookie season. That was the year I became a big fan and I remember screaming in disbelief with my friends at the TV that he would pull that off in a game. Imagine how this forum would react if anyone on the team today did something like that.

Not sure it was mentioned yet but the best dunk not made by carter has to be tmac's against the bulls. The one where he uses some other guy to soften his fall.
