Video: The last time the NBA Slam Dunk Contest disappeared, Vince Carter brought it back in style
Posted Dec 10, 2020
I’m thinking about Vince Carter because of two entities which will be absent from the upcoming NBA season. This is the first season in decades that won’t have a Slam Dunk Contest. If there is a 2020-2021 NBA season (who really knows), it won’t include any All-Star events at all. This is also the first NBA season in decades without Carter.
