NBA marketed him as a dunker only. He was an elite scorer and lethal shooter. 38% from 3 during his 10 year peak.

The Mike Tyson effect. Mike knockouts over shadowed his elite speed and defense

facts

Elite athleticism doesn’t usually lead to a 20yr career. There’s usually a brick wall they hit

​@@michaelweller5470Vince evolved his game as he aged

YEASS SIRRRRRR

💯

No doubt...

True

For sure

For real. You'd think a basketball hoop killed his dog the way he punished it.

perhaps, Kemp was pretty brutal as was Wilkens to name a couple others

lul, never seen Kemp?

Dwight assaults all sorts of rims.

Look up chocolate thunder. Darryl Dawkins

So much so that I forget about him at times. But he was insane in his prime.

CoVinced he’d be the GOAT if he showed up every night.

Yup. Watched every game in TO and he played like prime MJ for 3 minutes a night. Super frustrating.

You’re right. His agility and ball control and body control on top of all the other skills he had is crazy. Those things is what I used to think was comparable to MJ. Vince. Underrated and one of my top 5 favorite bball players.

I fell in love with basketball because of him

💯 the nba marketed him as a “dunker only”. His stats per 100 possessions are comparable to Dames honestly.

​@@MaxaMillion711not referring to the commenter but its hard to educate ppl about bball when they easily fall for narratives. He damn near was always great from behind the arc n shot many 30footers but can't explain that to casuals of today bc they credit Curry as if he invented the 3😂

by we i assume you mean anyone born after 94 or something

Only people who don’t know the game thought that.

@@slipswitchexactly, anyone who remotely paid attention to Vince Carter knew he more than just dunks

Chuck Swirsky was my favorite announcer for Carter because he'd go crazy

Yeah it doesn't get more electrifying than that lol

Onions onions onions

Man dunked in nba games like I dunk on a 5 foot playschool hoop.

The greatest dunker in the history of game. Also, one of the best last second shooter I have ever seen. I wish he had a ring or two.

@@anarchoblack3461 totally agreed! 💯

People who were not really around the game at that time forget that during his time in Toronto both he and T-Mac were considered better players then Kobe by a lot of people in the league. He had some terrible teams and was pushing those guys to the playoffs and advancing. He`s getting to the second round with Mo Peterson has his #2.

@@trainerrob1622 As a Kobe fan, I have to agree! During the early 00's or around the millennium the convo about the best players of that position has been between Vince, T-Mac and AI. Kobe was great during the three-peat era and had some great moments like that 51 point game vs Antawn Jamison and also during his playoff run in 2001 especially against the Kings and Spurs. But with Shaq he even admitted having an advantage. Vince's 2001 playoff run meanwhile is kinda underappreciated. Especially against the Knicks he came up clutch and also had an overall great battle vs AI in the second round. If that jumper in Game 7 went in, maybe Vince could've went even further, but nevertheless his performances were outstanding given the fact he really had no help. If T-Mac decided to stay longer in Toronto they easily would've went to the Finals.

I love MJ, Carter, but there are good players in this era. Ja Morant has already a great reel of dunks and plays; Anthony Edwards is a great leader and has awesome dunks and plays; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Doncic, and Tatum are good complete players

@@colbushi Ja has great posters and “almost dunks” but talking about just driving down the lane in traffic doing windmills and reverse dunks just flashy dunks through traffic

That's what makes Carter, Carter. We can't compare him to anyone else, which is good. We can't compare any of the greats with others, because that what makes them great. Nobody has come close to MJ; Kobe created his own game even though he was influenced greatly by MJ. Same with Duncan, Iverson, Crawford, Payton, etc... All different and unique. To say nobody is doing anything as close as this is true but false, because nobody had done the same and those that tried aren't among the greats. @@Tayzwayzmusic

with those 360 koby looks amateur

@@colbushiextremely well said 👏🏻

Facts . He is the reason i watch nba i never got to see him play as a raptor i watched him when he was at new jersey snd boy its safe to say during the early 2000s, he is only behind kobe and tmac as the best sg/sf that time

I was able to see his entire gaming college and pro

@@Popsm0ke yeah I watched him in college as well and he was primetime there too, but he took it to another level when he got to the pros

That's what people forget, exactly!

MANAZING!!!!!

In game & out, too. 😮

Him just throwing 360s into smooth ass plays casual af is right next to that 🔥

I don't think anyone will ever top this man's dunks ... ever

so violent. He was like an animated video game character. These videos are old now and the new guys don't match it. Zion could have but he preferred eating.

He 360 or windmilled before every lay up.. like it was automatic like muscle memory matrix ass shit.. homie be like "normal shit ain't cool.. "

Definitely wanted the Raps to add Carter that year because he was available and he was still better than signing Lin instead. I think Masai ego got in the way. Vince was still good in 2019 too.

​@@marz4021true. Lin was such a waste, nothing against the guy but like tmac his injury was plaguing him.

I agree. So what was he missing? why couldn't he make the numbers that Jordan did?

@@krzysztofbernas2848 Vince was not a savage Jordan was.

@@bartomiej9807 He was about great plays, not playing great.

I’d argue Vince moved even better than Jordan in his prime but unfortunately didn’t have the same mentality and then injuries 😕

VC was way more athletic than MJ though, MJ did not do half of the moves VC did and thats facts

Mamba, Vinsanity and TMac

Allen iverson , ray allen , Paul pierce

T-Mac 1st and then AI, Vince, Pierce, Allen and years after DWade

Greatest dunker ever

​@@MeatBall_Don_Lie T Mac in his short prime was better than Vince in his prime and every bit as good as prime kobe, but Vince was the better player and had far more longevity and versatility

Oh man a Jamal Crawford mixtape would go crazy

​@@TnpEliit'd be so smooth you could only watch it in 4K...😁

Pause

NEEEED JAMAL

c'mon wit it 🔥🔥🔥

Same here

Same here man. The love for VC is incredible

then he did his interview saying hes not going to dunk anymore and toronto went crazy

I remember this series and did not want either team to lose because I liked Iverson as well.

Happens to the best of them

Exactly. He hurt his knee in Boston.. and it changed his game.

Windmills off alley-oops, off the drive, fastbreak. This guy had several reverse alley-oop buzzer beaters, crazy!!! 😍

I think it was the way how the game was played back then. I don't think we had somebody like Jokic back then. Or a guy like Curry or Giannis. All incredibly good players.

ya he was a really really good player for the nets when he was 40 even when he couldnt jump anymore. dude was incredible, great 3pt shooter

Facts “Vince Carter top 100 dunks” was legendary I had it downloaded on one of those bootleg youtube apps on my iPod so I could watch it wherever I went 🙏

The super hero track had feeling like he was better than MJ😅

💯 - for people like me who watched all his games, we all knew VC was on this all around level. But the national media and NBA marketed VC as “he’s just a dunker”. It’s a real shame. He worked hard on his game. His passing. His jumper. His leadership. His clutch shots. And he was left off All-NBA teams, he was left off the NBA 75th team. He was written off after the year 2003 by most people, when his BEST overall years were 2005-07. That’s why it’s important for me to release these videos. Because people legitimately didn’t know VC was a walking bucket and NBA legend. More than a dunker.

Not just all that but also the fact he can draw a foul and still land the shot

Just not much success in his career though. Has he even won anything?

MJ is the overall GOAT, but Vince the best in-game dunker ever. No matter what MJ fans say. Vince's dunk resume is just insane. And his crazy layups in traffic are at least as good as MJ's.

Thank you 🙏

That was tuff
