Yes, we understand. This is Detroit Sports Nation and Vince Carter never played for the Pistons, never went to Michigan, and never attended Detroit Country Day. But we’re fans of the dunk here at DSN, so we thought we’d step back and appreciate one of the greatest aerial artists of all-time. So go on, take a gander. There might even be a Ben Wallace appearance in here somewhere.
Let’s be honest, most fans of the dunk know there’s a Vince Carter-on-Alonzo Mourning throwdown awaiting near the top of this list. But this one tends to slip through the cracks when considering VC’s best. Don’t know why. Many glorious aspects are at play: explosive hometown crowd, legendary shot blocker standing in one’s path, fearless attack & hammer, solid post-dunk ball ricochet, and a celebratory glare and flex to boot.
This clip needs a high-definition alternative, pronto.
