NBA Releases Vince Carter Reel That'll Surely Fire Up Those Nostalgia Boners

Holy flashbacks. Did we just get a Mugsey Bogues sighting? You’re damn right we did. Long live Vinsanity, assuming he’s still alive. Wait, Carter’s still in the league? Holy shit. Hey, I guess they are right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. Don’t you go dyin’ on me, Vince.

Alas, there may never be anything like that 2000 Dunk Contest again.

Oh the memories of mediocrity in this video is borderline better than the greatness. Remember Larry Hughes as the worthless part of the Flight Brothers? Me neither. Good thing Larry Brown chose him out of St. Louis while Dirk and Paul Pierce were still on the board (the next two picks at 8 and 9). Regardless, VC was the last true dunk champion. Before Carter was the likes of MJ, Dominique, Spud Webb. What have we had since 2000 in the once iconic event? Maybe a couple dunks from little Nate Robinson and Blake Griffin jumping over the hood a Kia. Other than that, bupkis.
