Vince Carter recalls his legendary Slam Dunk Contest performance

Posted Feb 10, 2015
It’s been 15 years since Vince Carter, then of the Toronto Raptors, rocked the Oakland Arena with a display of not just one quality dunk, but several of them en route to a dominant win. Carter, who turned 38 last month, is now a role player for the Memphis Grizzlies—out presently with a torn tendon in his foot—but he has fond memories of that night in Oakland in 2000.
